This song really encouraged me this week. In the past few weeks I’ve had to get back in touch with who I am deep inside and bring her to the surface again. Looking honestly at yourself and all of your insecurities isn’t a fun experience! It’s been painful but liberating and necessary. Thought some of my readers might need to hear the message in this song as well.
I might be able to give my blog some more attention soon. Stay tuned!
This is one of my favourite bands lately and this is one of my favourite songs of theirs. Not sure that all the lyrics are correct – youtube lyric videos are so frustrating in that way – lol! I hope some of you enjoy it. 🙂
I love this so much! It describes wonderfully how I feel about life now and you should watch it!
I came across this song today and I’d never heard it before. I only knew one Proclaimers song and was enjoying listening to their other stuff. Being an atheist, I already know my answers to the questions in this song (I don’t think there is a god), but I thought some of my readers might appreciate the song:
Meet the Robinsons is my favourite kids’ movie and I love this song from it that I came across again today. I love these lines:
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
What more purpose do I need than that? Small hours … little wonders … that’s enough for me now. Such a great song and very uplifting!
Here is the regular version of the music video:
Here’s the kid version that goes along with the Meet the Robinsons movie:
Haven’t been keeping up with Mr. Deity – shame on me! Here’s one from back in March:
Life’s been keeping me very busy and I’ve been pushing and stretching myself in several areas. Each hurdle makes me nervous but I’m learning it’s much better to push forward. Most of the time the risks are more than worth it and I’m getting much better at being ok with my mistakes when they happen. I have such an excitement about my life now that wasn’t there before – mistakes and all!
If there is one main lesson I learned through my deconversion that I carry with me every day, it’s that I absolutely refuse to live my life in fear anymore! I realize looking back how much of my life was based on fear. Fear of making mistakes. Fear of letting people down. Fear of letting God down. Fear of sinning. Fear of not having things turn out. Fear of the unknown. Fear of hell. Fear of not measuring up. Fear of not being holy enough. Fear! Fear! Fear! Fear! Fear!
No more!
If it’s the last night in these streets
You’d be a fool to take a seat
You got one life, one life
Don’t stop; live it up
