Okay, that's enough for an uplifting song. Time to go back to the sad vibes. Not because I'm sad, but because this song is just so damn beautiful. Feel the longing in her voice, so much to relate to here.
How perfect is the title, by the way? As I get older, I do look back, wistfully. If only I had known...
Reminds me of a quote that applies. Actually, now that I looked up the quote, I see several quotes that apply. I'll just paste them all here, you decide. All by Danish philosopher Sören Kierkegaard.
I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations—one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it—you will regret both.
People understand me so little that they do not even understand when I complain of being misunderstood.
Life must be understood backwards; but…it must be lived forwards.
The last quote is the one that I first thought of as I listened to this song. Everything is so clear looking back.
I can only console myself with the first quote. Yeah, I have regrets. We all do. But then again, if I had made different choices I'd just have different regrets. C'est la vie, I guess.
The middle quote, well, what can I say. Even when I explain myself I'm misunderstood. That's why I just put it on "paper" here, for you my seven* readers.
Great video, too. Seems trivial to say after getting so philosophical, but it's true. :)
Indigo De Souza - Younger & Dumber [Official Music Video]
I need to quote some lyrics that really resonated.
Which way will I run when I want something new?I don't feel at home in this house anymoreWhich way will I run when l'm over you?I don't feel at home in this town
I can't be the only one who never quite feels comfortable at rest. Just never settled, always looking for the "next thing." Is there something wrong with me?? I posted a few songs along these lines in the past. Looks like some of the links have gone stale. :( Anyway, here are two songs that come to mind:
These next lyrics may resonate if you're an introvert, as I am. You want to be alone, but also you don't!
Sometimes I just don't wanna be aloneAnd it's not cause l'm lonelyIt's just 'cause I get so tired of filling the space all around meAnd the love I feel is so powerful it can take you anywhereAnd the love I feel is so very real that it'll drag you down
Song lyrics by AZLyrics.com:
"Younger And Dumber" lyrics
When I was younger
Younger and dumber
Built like a flower
You came to pick me from out of the city
You turned me sour
When I was younger
Younger and prouder
I was nobody
You came to hurt me in all the right places
Made me somebody
Which way will I run when I want something new?
I don't feel at home in this house anymore
Which way will I run when l'm over you?
I don't feel at home in this town
Sometimes I just don't wanna be alone
And it's not cause l'm lonely
It's just 'cause I get so tired of filling the space all around me
And the love I feel is so powerful it can take you anywhere
And the love I feel is so very real that it'll drag you down
Which way will I run when I want something new?
I don't feel at home in this house anymore
Which way will I run when l'm over you?
I don't feel at home in this town
When I was younger
Younger and dumber
I didn't know better
