So, I was looking at how so many people have music on there profiles and I think it's a great idea. Music helps me so much, especially when it was really bad, and going to the computer and playing a song was the most I could do. I added a playlist to my profile too, but there is one song I wanted to share more publicly. This song hits me like no other. The words and the music are just perfect for how I'm feeling, and how I'm sure a lot of you feel a lot too. I almost feel like it was made for people just like us. By sharing this I can give the gift of how I feel when I hear this to others.
Mumford & Songs - The Cave http://youtu.be/3KkUeRPjc-Y
Lyrics:
It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
Because I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's land
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
Because I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
"This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor... Welcome and entertain them all. Treat eash guest honorably. The dark thought, the same, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond" - Rumi
"Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free." - Jim Morrison
The first I heard of Mumford & Sons was actually at an Irish Pub I used to work at. They have some other good stuff too, like 'Little Lion Man'
