This song is awesome! That is all I have to say...okay, I will say more. I LOVE this song for some reason...just love it. It reminds me so much of what I would do as a child to "escape" from the horrors that I was faced with daily. I would often daydream...imagine myself in a different place away from the pain and the fear. I would close my eyes, and there I was in a different world far more perfect than the one I was living in. It was my escape...it was my paradise. This week's song is Paradise by Coldplay.
Just a note, I have no idea what is up with the elephant...though it is kind of trippy.
Song: Paradise
Artist: Coldplay
Album: Mylo Xyloto
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
and the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
and dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
lalalalalalalalalalala
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
This song speaks for itself. So amazing! This week's song is a cover of Coldplay's Paradise [Peponi] African style performed by the PianoGuys.
This is a great song about beauty. This is for all the girls/women who struggle with finding themselves beautiful. I will admit that I struggle with this myself...I often wonder if I am beautiful. But, I realize that I am often comparing myself to the world's standard of beauty, which is artificial. True beauty is more than skin deep. True beauty is accepting who you are. This song has helped to remind me of that...that there cannot be a more beautiful you. This week's song is "More Beautiful You" by Jonny Diaz.
Hey there! I know it's been a while. Life seems to be getting busier. Now that it's a new year I plan on making some changes to this blog. One of those changes is a feature I like to call "My Playlist." This is a cool musical feature that I have added under the My Pages section. The playlist includes most of the music I have shared with you all as the Song of the Week. Be sure to check it out! http://healing-gracie.blogspot.com/p/my-playlist.html
