There have been a few songs lately that have been speaking to my soul. This song has been hitting me so hard lately, and I have no idea why. It comes on, and my soul is open and receptive to whatever lies ahead. I listen to it before work, after work, with Levi, in the shower, while I'm falling asleep, etc. I don't know what it is, but there is something there. It is one of those songs that when it comes on, I am unable to contain any emotion that may come along with it. I cannot explain it in words without sounding extremely crazy, yet that is the only way to explain it. I just started playing this song again, and I started to hear the rain fall on the roof right as it started playing. That is what I call beauty.
Please enjoy it. If you do not, please do not share. I will not be able to deal. I recommend that you listen to the song without looking at the video. It is not amazing. Listen to the song, look over the words, and let the flow through you.
Courageously feeding my soul,
Lauren
What a beautiful piece of heartache
This has all turned out to be
Lord knows we've learned the hard way
All about healthy apathy
I use these words pretty loosely
There's so much more to life than words
There is a me you would not recognize, dear
Call it the shadow of myself
And if the music starts before I get there
Dance without me, you dance so gracefully
I really think I'll be okay
They've taken a toll, these latter days
Nothing like sleeping on a bed of nails
Nothing much here but our broken dream
Oh, but baby, if all else fails
Nothing is ever quite what it seems
And I'm dying inside to leave you
With more than just cliches
There is a me you would not recognize, dear
Call it the shadow of myself
And if the music starts before I get there
Dance without me, you dance so gracefully
I really think I'll be okay
They've taken their toll, these latter days
They've taken their toll, these latter days
Tell them it's real
Tell them it's really real
I just don't have much left to say
They've taken their toll, these latter days
They've taken their toll, these latter days
This has all turned out to be
Lord knows we've learned the hard way
All about healthy apathy
I use these words pretty loosely
There's so much more to life than words
There is a me you would not recognize, dear
Call it the shadow of myself
And if the music starts before I get there
Dance without me, you dance so gracefully
I really think I'll be okay
They've taken a toll, these latter days
Nothing like sleeping on a bed of nails
Nothing much here but our broken dream
Oh, but baby, if all else fails
Nothing is ever quite what it seems
And I'm dying inside to leave you
With more than just cliches
There is a me you would not recognize, dear
Call it the shadow of myself
And if the music starts before I get there
Dance without me, you dance so gracefully
I really think I'll be okay
They've taken their toll, these latter days
They've taken their toll, these latter days
Tell them it's real
Tell them it's really real
I just don't have much left to say
They've taken their toll, these latter days
They've taken their toll, these latter days

I like it!
Hey, Lauren! If you look at the bottom of the screen when you're in your new post screen, there is a button that says options. If you click on it, you can type in a time that you want your blog to post. I've found it really handy. If I get on a writing kick and write three or four blogs I can set them to post on different days so I can take the week off! It's worked great so far!
