Jessicas grotta

En av alla fördelar med att läsa andra bloggar (fast just nu är jag dessvärre upp i 186 st olästa inlägg - tur att man har Bloglovin som kan hålla koll på det åt en!) är att man får olika tips på saker och ting. Ett sådant tips kan vara musik och det var just det jag fick från en av bloggarna jag följer. Innan det där inlägget dök upp på skärmen hade jag aldrig hört den tidigare, men Callie Moores röst och även texten i låten "October" berörde mig väldigt mycket. Jag vet inte hur många gånger jag lät den spelas innan jag insåg att det var dags att dra mig till sängs. Nu får även du chansen att höra en otroligt fin låt om du inte har fått göra det tidigare. Och textens innebörd är både hemsk och viktig. Jag ryser i kroppen när jag hör låten. Är det samma sak för dig?

It's been 25 years and 11 days since I was last in the womb of a woman celebrating her pain

But in her body she was carrying something else
An unwelcome guest, an intruder in a beautiful house

They say that cancer is a hard and stubborn man
But still he teaches us something that nobody else can

I had a letter that she wrote me but I couldn't read the cursive yet
So Daddy sat me in his lap and he read
And what she said to me I didn't really grasp it yet
And after all these years I finally understand it

Love will never leave this place
No, love will never leave this place

You know, looking back I was a happy child,
I did so much better than to just survive

But I guess I'm singing this song somehow
Because I know somewhere in this world right now...

You're sitting in the emptiest corner of the darkest room
You're fighting some great war you fear you're gonna lose
If I could find you in the moment of your greatest pain
I'd take you by the hand and I would say

Come on and stand up, I wanna see you live
As though there's something beautiful you have to give
'Cause there is... yeah there is

Come on and stand up, let me see you see this through
As though you've got somebody holding on to you
'Cause you do... yeah you do

And love will never leave this place
No, love will never leave this place

Come on and stand up, I wanna see you live
As though there's something beautiful you have to give
'Cause there is... there is

Come on and stand up, let me see you see this through
As though you've got somebody you can hold on to
'Cause you do... you do

And love will never leave this place
No, love will never leave this place

It's been 17 years and a single day since the child that I was became the child that I still am today
