Today I have chosen a song by John Mayer. As a person, I don't particularly think that much of him. But as a musician, he is fantastic! He can play the guitar like nobodies business, and writes some incredible lyrics. In fact, if it were not for his music, I would not pay attention to him. Now with that said; this song is titled "Say" and is off of the movie soundtrack 'The Bucketlist' and his re-released album 'Continuum'. It is simply about saying what you need to, or want to, say to someone before they are gone. Having faced some difficult loses in the past decade, this song spoke to me. In fact, I think it's a great song that makes you think, and puts things into perspective...
"Take out of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all your so called problems
Better put them in quotations
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Walkin' like a one man army
Fightin' with the shadows in your head
Livin' up the same old moment
Knowin' you'd be better off instead
If you could only
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Have no fear for givin' in
Have no fear for givin' over
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Than to never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shakin'
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closin'
Do it with a heart wide open
A wide heart
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say"
Another fabulous choice. I love how simple the message is. Beautiful song!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites also! I love it and try hard to live by it. Good pick!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about him. I wish he weren't such a womanizer. I think Britney Spears sang a song about him... ;)
ReplyDeleteStill like his music though!
I feel the same way about him. And this song is pretty! It's just a little repetative for me, but still a good song.
