not to be overkillish on the fog subject but....

The fog isn't supposed to lift until Thursday. Which means it will have been almost a week without seeing the sun. Ouch. I'm getting sick of the fog now. I almost forgot what a blue sky looks like today, then I started to panic. I started sweating and getting all freaked out wondering if the sky would ever clear again, or if I would ever see those wonderfully "pointy mountians" (as dams calls them) again. I wondered if I would ever be able to see across the street again. I wondered if I would ever.....OK .. this is getting boring and overly dramatic. I'll simply put it this way: it was weird.

"Lights go out and I can't be saved, tides that I tried to swim against, have brought me down upon my knees"_ clocks . coldplay

So I waited for you
What wouldn't I do
And I'm covered it's true
I'm covered in you

And if I ever want proof
I find it in you
Yeah I honestly do
In you I find proof

Light and dark
Bright spark
Light and dark
And then light

So I waited all day
What wouldn't I say
And are there things in your way
Things happen that way

Oh and if I ever want proof
Then I find it in you
Oh, yeah I honestly do
In you I find proof

Light and dark
Bright spark
Light and dark
And then light

Light, light, light, light

proof . coldplay

I don't get what this song is about. It sounds cool though. It is basically all on the acoustic guitar which explains why I like it.
I want to write. Dang. I haven't had any time to write lately. I actually want to try to start writing music as well, not like for lyrical songs, but for instrumental pieces. Hard stuff though. And I really am not very good so that doesn't help either.

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go in alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go in alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can you hear me when I
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

U2 . Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

Bono wrote this one after his dad died. I dig it. Really cool sounding song.

Maybe a change of topic for your next post please. I didn't have time to read it but I saw it was about fog.

Not all of it. Don't judge something until you're sure about what it's about.

No. I just felt like putting two on.

I suppose it is none of my business, but I would say that last song is depressing. Maybe you should listen to something more cheerful until the fog lifts? It might improve your mental status. Like Phil. 4:8 would teach. I once heard someone call Philippians the handbook on mental health.

Ahh yes? You might have at least put your name. Depressing is it? Why should fog and Bono's dad dying be depressing? But if you were really just a "passerby" then you probably won't read this anyway. but I don't think it's all depressing. The fog maybe.....maybe. But the songs never.
