Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us https://youtu.be/VjEq-r2agqc
"Oh, day by day / When some things just won't go my way / It's blurry like a fog in the sky, but there are so many roads ahead / Even if the world spins the other way around / You and I are not losing our way / You and I will be walking straight / Let's go as one."
Absolutely loving the return of Portishead lead singer Beth Gibbons with her new album Lives Outgrown. What a beautiful, haunting, and melodic collection.
When it rains, it pours
But you didn't even notice it ain't rainin' anymore
It's hard to breathe when all you know is
The struggle of stayin' above the risin' water line
Well, the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
If you could see what I see, you'd be blinded by the colors
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
"At the end of the day that left us breathless / We lean on each other / We close our eyes and fall asleep comfortably / Dreaming again / In the slightly unfamiliar tomorrow / That will start over again countless times / I think we will be okay, I think it will be shining / The rainbow that connects your and my heart."
Apparently, Jukebox Friday Night has a theme of "Mothers."
Normally, I'd be literal with a theme like that and go with a song that talks about Moms. But, my Mom is a Spring-nut (her words) and loves Bruce Springsteen, so I have to just...pick a song that reminds me of my Mom, at least to start.
