Thank you so much @ladiesofhive for this lovely topic. Singing is always my passion and it's hard for me to choose one song that motivates me, but now I have found one. It's coming from one of my favourite artist.
Song Tittle : TRY
Artist : P!nk
“Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try”
This song really hits me recently when my friend sang it onstage.
I used to cover this song before during performing, but I never adapt myself to the lyrics seriously. Until what had happened to my relationship recently make me change the perspective about this song.
It hits me deep down inside and almost bring me to tears but somehow I've got a new energy to raise myself back again.
It's a mix of feeling which Is hard for me to explain.
I've been taking risks in love and holding on despite what the consequences may become.
Until I was so burned out and depressed.
Listening to the chorus make me realize that nothing can be perfect forever, but never give up on trying to find someone that will fill up the perfectionist in me.
I am encouraging myself to live with the reality and move just moving on.
Even the first verse of this song is related to me and my past situation.
“Ever wonder ‘bout what he’s doing?
How it all turned to lies?
Sometimes I think that it’s better to never ask why”
This song also expresses the need for me to listen to my heart on whether to stay in a hurtful relationship and work it out or to finally let go and move on. I have noticed the red flag since day one, but I insist on trying and giving chances.
I have gone through a failed relationship before, and I do hope I learn my lesson and try to resolve something for my future relationship.
But my concern is, can I trust again? Because this song portraying my fear from the betrayal, and it's really hard for me to open my wall again, to trust another person and allowing them to hurt me again.
This song makes me asks myself why and how do I connect with someone who can be emotionally abusive to me and let him drag my entire happiness and life, suck out my positives energy and drown me into a major depression.
Literally, this song never hit me hard inside but once I heard and read back the lyrics all over again, It really seems to cut me inside but at the same time it pushing me to be strong. This song is really a straightforward song. I thought no songs can hurt me, but this song can hit me hard.
My understanding is rather basic.
All the wonderful things are happening, someone is always bound to get hurt. This song represents all the woman who have been lied and mistreated badly by their loved one, you gonna get up and try, try, try!
I would love to invite @erikasue to join me in this contest.
