 Welcome to our Thursday Music Feature! This week Jennifer opens up about how a song has helped her get through some really tough times. I know a lot of people are going through things at the moment and maybe this can help them too. Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments and if you have songs that help you - please share them! Jennifer -I’ve been through hell and back. Yes, this article is a little different from what I usually write but I recently found a song that is starting to help me get through what I never thought I could move on from. That song is "Carry On" by Fun. When I first heard it, I was amazed that this song explains everything that I’m feeling with the loss of a very special person. Now I’m no music connoisseur, but this song made me stop and cry when I thought I couldn’t cry anymore. The lyrics really spoke to me - "I've never been through hell like that", and I haven’t until I lost someone who meant the world to me but just like this song says you have to "carry on, carry on"! And that’s just what they’d want me to do. It’s still not easy, but when Dave and Susan said some songs can help you get through things that you may be going through, they were definitely right, so I wanted to share this for anyone else that might need it. I hope it helps. “If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your path be the sound of your feet upon the ground Carry on” Melanie -Firstly I want to thank Jenn for being so open about stuff that has been going on. I know how difficult it has been and I really hope that this can help others too. I have posted the entire song lyrics below. Even if you find the song is not for you, the lyrics are really powerful. Carry On - Full Lyrics
Well, I woke up to the sound of silence, the guns Were cutting like knives in a fist fight And I found you with a bottle of wine Your head in the curtains and heart like the Fourth of July You swore and said we are not We are not shining stars This I know, I never said we are Though I've never been through Hell like that I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your path be the sound of your feet upon the ground Carry on Carry on, carry on So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night At a bar off 75 And we talked and talked about how our parents will die All our neighbors and wives But I'd like to think I can cheat it all To make up for the times I've been cheated on And it's nice to know when I was left for dead I was found and now I don't roam these streets I am not the ghost you want of me If you're lost and alone or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your path be the sound of your feet upon the ground, and Carry on Whoa, my head is on fire, but my legs are fine After all, they are mine Lay your clothes down on the floor Close the door, hold the phones Show me how no one's ever gonna stop us now (...) 'Cause we are, we are shining stars We are invincible, we are who we are On our darkest day when we're miles away So we'll come, we will find our way home If you're lost and alone or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your path be the sound of your feet upon the ground, and Carry on Oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-oh-whoa Oh, oh, oh-whoa-oh, whoa-oh Oh-whoa, oh-oh-oh-whoa Oh, oh, oh-whoa-oh, whoa-oh No one's ever gonna stop us now No one's ever, no one's ever gonna, no one's ever gonna stop us now No one's ever, ever, no one's ever gonna stop us, no one's ever No one's ever gonna stop us now Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Nathaniel Joseph Ruess / Jack Antonoff / Jeff Bhasker / Andrew Dost Carry On lyrics © Wb Music Corp., Sony/atv Songs Llc, Way Above Music, Fbr Music, Bearvon Music, Shira Lee Lawrence Rick Music, Rough Art |
