life ain't alwasy beautiful

Going off my last blog i thought i might share a song that got me through a lot and share why. But in order to do so, you must first know the song and be familiar with its lyrics:

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven


The song is called Guardian Angel by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. In my opinion it is one of the most depressing songs you will ever hear. I would call it a love song, because maybe it was one, but to me it is something more. It can be a love song towards anyone; a friend, family member, etc. And like i said in my last post this song helped me get through my grandmother's passing. It is easy for me to relate this song to her and how it felt in those final moments. That's the beauty of a song i suppose. It isn't the fact you can dance to it or even sing a long to it. Anyone can do that, but to be able to relate to a song and actually listen to the lyrics, you begin to feel like it has become a part of you. This song will always be a part of my soundtrack. When i look back to that area of my life this song will always pop into my head. Finding a song like that isn't just for me, people do it everyday. For my friend right now Watching Airplanes by Gary Allen is the soundtrack of her remorse. For me it is Eyes Open by Snow Patrol because i feel so often we must open our eyes to see whats really in front of us. A good song it like a amazing painting. You can have the most beautiful canvas (much like a melody) but with out the paint ( the meaningful lyrics) its nothing but a canvas.
