The first article that I write about the songs is entitled Songs that I'll never get tired listening to... on that article I'll include all the songs that are part of my growing, songs that I learned to love listening to with my Dad. So we can also say that those were the songs that mold me into who I am right now. https://read.cash/@Eylz2021/songs-that-ill-never-get-tired-listening-to-cbaee6b1 This article covers the songs that I learned to listen to whenever I need some rainbow, some home. And this is the other side of me if the first article is mostly songs from yesterday this one is different, I call them the music of today. One day - Matisyahu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRmBChQjZPs For me, this song is about hope for a brighter tomorrow, a brighter day that one day kids can go back playing outside without worrying for their safety. That everyone should work for that peace that we are all dreaming of. That you and I are here to work for that peace. Matisyahu told *Spinner UK*: "It is an anthem of hope with a big beat, the kind of song that makes you bob your head and open your heart at the same time." So yes, this song is all about hope. And this is my fave part of the song. “Sometimes I lay under the moon and thank God I’m breathing then I pray don’t take me soon cause I am here for a reason” Fireflies - by owl city https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psuRGfAaju4 The real story behind that song is about a guy who has insomia, about his experiences of sleeplessness. It is about how the paintings in his parents' basements help him imagining things in writing this song. But for me, the song is so magical, so enchanting, even the melody. Yes the lyrics say all about sleeplessness but that sleeplessness leads him to an imaginary world of fantasy, where everything is perfect. To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell (they said farewell) But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar) I love that part because I also hate goodbyes but I envy him because he saved some fireflies, it's like he saves all the good memories so he has something to look back. Unlike me, that I tend to forget everything when I'm hurting because of goodbyes. Cups - Anna Kendrick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmSbXsFE3l8 The real story behind this song started way back 1937 and it is two different song that was combined together. The song when I'm gone and the cup rhythmic accompaniment was first played in the year 2009 and then Anna Kendrick sang it in pitch-perfect movie. I love the rhythmic melody and the lyrics of the song for me it is about telling someone that you'll be going on a trip alone and it would be much better if that person will accompany you. that the trip will be much more fun with him than let her go alone in a trip then miss her while she's gone. It's a lovely song for me. I got my ticket for the long way 'round The one with the prettiest of views It's got mountains, it's got rivers It's got sights give you shivers But it sure would be prettier **with you** Better Days - Franco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOQdSdur9kY This is so simple, just like **One day of Matiyashu** its full of hope for a brighter tomorrow and this time it is already said in the lyrics that it needs to start within, it needs to start with ourselves, I like the way he puts its that the price for a simple better world starts in healing within us. The world is gonna see some better days This feeling starts within yourselves today Such a simple way a price to pay for better days Castaway by - Franco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2XJJy2kcIE This is another Franco's song that's doesn't need to dig more if you want to know the story behind it. The lyrics says it's all, he wrote this song while he was in America and feeling alone. And for me another song of hope because of this part. On my own castaway Trapped and caught in between Darkened skies, tidal waves But I am moving on **Bad Day - Daniel Powter** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH476CxJxfg The song is really about someone who is having a bad day but it has a sunny tune that makes it reassuring and comforting but there are some who said that "It's not literally about having a bad day, it's more about not taking yourself too seriously and complaining about trivial things"- source: bad day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Day_(Daniel_Powter_song) I just loved everything about this song and it's like me when I'm having a bad day. I try to fake everything and pretend that I'm really ok. I listen and sing sad songs hoping to think of something that is much worst than what I'm going through. Barely Breathing - Dunkan Sheik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-oh-tP6RvA This song is about one-sided relationships, where one party has significantly more affection for the other. It also tells about emotional troubles in a relationship. The indifference and coldness lead to a sensation of emotional and physical suffocations.. I guess the reason why I like this song is that I've experienced being in a one-sided relationship. I know how it feels to hold on to something that you don't know what will be the ending aside from parting ways. I know how it feels to keep on hoping that the story will still change, that one day that one-sided relationship will change to two people who are both in love with each other, but I think that story plot only happens on the big screen.
