Happy Thursday.
This reminds me that I haven't done a video yet. But no one else seems to be posting. It's strange.
Anyways, today's song is by an artist I've been following for a loooong time. Longer than any of the others, probably. Just not consistently. I stopped for a few months, and went back to her a couple weeks ago. The song is called Jenny and it's by Terra Naomi.
A girl (Jenny, I'm guessing) wrote to Terra saying she had no reason to live and listed all the reasons her life sucked and told her she was going to kill herself. So Terra Naomi wrote this song for her (and other people struggling with depression) to let them know that life was worth living. Her voice can be annoying to some people, but it's a really good song.
Jenny I think you've lost your mind
Jenny the friends you thought you had
Have left you all behind
Jenny there's truth in unkind words sometimes
Take what you need and leave the rest for someone else to find and
Now you wanna show it to the world
You wanna show them just what happens
When you hurt a girl
And
Jenny I think you've lost your mind
Jenny I think you've lost your mind
Take that trophy from your hands
And just put it down, you can
We all have to lose sometimes
It'll be better in a year
You'll forget everything you thought was so important here
Jenny, I know even the darkest clouds will disappear
Everyone goes through this it's part
Of life
Now you wanna show it to the world
You wanna show them just what happens
When you hurt a girl
And
Jenny I think you've lost your mind
Jenny I think you've lost your mind
Take that trophy from your hands
And just put it down, you can
We all have to lose sometimes
We all have to lose sometimes
We all have to lose sometimes

I've totally heard this song before!! It must have been from you because it seems like a pretty obscure song that most of my friends wouldn't know. But I like this song, the lyrics in particular.
ReplyDeleteThe first week of school here someone jumped out of the 15th floor window and killed himself here. It was so so sad. Every single time someone mentioned him the tone of any conversation would take a nose dive and everyone and we would all be sad. Its not like we knew the guy, but it didn't matter. Are you familiar with John Donne's "Meditation 17" I'm not sure if its 17 but its the one where he writes that "no man is an island" and how one man's death diminishes me because I am a part of humanity. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee." That is really how I feel about what's happened here.
