Carry on

Carry on Carry on A couple months ago I downloaded the album some nights by fun and found myself captivated by the entire album. A website review indicated that the album had some very dark passages and yet was incredibly uplifting and I was totally drawn to that contrast. I actually loved the whole album but I was particularly drawn to the message in the song “carry on”. It goes: If you're lost and alone Or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your past be the sound Of your feet upon the ground Carry on My head is on fire But my legs are fine Cause after all they are mine Lay your clothes down on the floor Close the door Hold the phone 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 It is a simple message to just keep moving and don’t be a prisoner of your past. The line “May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground” really resonates with me. I and people close to me have too often been unable to free themselves from things in their past. That passage is a great reminder that your past is always behind you as long as you’re moving forward. The passage “My head is on fire, but my legs are fine, cause after all they are mine” is such a simple metaphor but it is a reminder that so many of the things that hold us back exist only in this very small space between our ears. People or circumstances from our past may dominate our thoughts and feelings but they don’t own our ability to move forward. I have only included a portion of the lyrics but the songs starts with two people lost in despair and builds as they draw strength in each other to move forward. I am a genuinely positive person but it is not because I have not faced challenges or have overcome difficulties. But I have found my greatest joy in supporting and inspiring others. It isn’t always helping them through difficult situations; at times it is only letting them know you see more in them than they see in themselves. Sometimes all it takes to be a shining star is to have someone that find in you, the things that make you sparkle.  |

it is interesting I never thought of my friend as the lucky one, I thought it was a privilege to be able to be there for him. This statement further proves your strength of character and solidifies the fact that your friend is blessed to have you in his life.

When I first heard this song a while back, I immediately had to download it. It conveys a great message. It's hard to move beyond things that have happened in one's past. It is a conscious decision to either let your past control you or to learn from it and move on. I am that much stronger for choosing to move on several times in my life. It sounds like your advice truly helped your friend. He's lucky to have you in his life. it is interesting I never thought of my friend as the lucky one, I thought it was a privilege to be able to be there for him.

Thanks for the sweet comment C. The post was inspired by a very good friend that was a victim of a crime and it devevastated him. I asked him if he was going to allow this to ruin his life forever and he said no. I said "good, then it isn't a matter of if you'll get over this, only when". My advice to him was to pick a day some time in the future and when that day arrived he was going to move on. The advice was kinda silly but it reinforced his awareness that moving forward was under his control. When that day arrived two weeks later, he changed, he was no where near totally past it, but it no longer controlled him or defined him and the healing could finally take place. Thanks so much for the sweet comments on the new pic.

I need more people like you in my life. Seems there is a great shortage of those people with all that you possess. You "get it" and I love that about you. I found this song and played it several times. It touched me too. Music will always be a part of me. I wish I could find someone who understands that and "gets it" as well. By the way, like your new pic. Thanks so much for the very sweet comments.
