I thought I was taking the easy way out today, when I decided that I would tap into scribblings I’ve made in my notepad apps for future blogs. I did it on A Separate Life here, but got stuck in a quagmire when trying to write this blog, perhaps because the issues are a bit deeper, less trivial, and speak to me more. But I’m still taking the easy way out, because this song speaks our truth. I am not someone who usually listens to song lyrics, and I’m probably not telling you anything new, but this is worth checking out.
Of course, it reflects so many people’s feelings. And it is appropriate for my No Kidding friends too. It can be hard. We hide it well. And it will turn out okay.
Carry it well, by Sam Fischer
“Just because I carry it well
Doesn't mean it isn't heavy and I don't need some help
I know I keep it locked down, but all I want now
Is somebody who can tell me how it's gonna turn out
'Cause I thought I'd be doing better by now
I thought I'd be doing better by now
But don't I carry it well?”
Go look for the rest of the lyrics – I don’t want to get in trouble with copyright – or listen to it here:
Ooof, such a great message. Carrying it well indeed doesn't mean you aren't carrying a heavy heavy load or you don't need help. This community is a great place to go to have many hands help carry that load. This song would have been on my playlist when things were fresh and raw, had I known about it!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard this song. Thank you for it. The message is such a helpful one.
