Radio silence is necessary once in awhile. Though I make no excuses for mine. It's difficult to explain but I feel... unsafe. Vulnerable in the worst way. Digging deep and climbing behind the same walls that were built for protection is the only way to get the quality of writing that I want. It's not good to be so closed off, so some of those walls didn't get put back and now I am at risk. Damn it.
30 Song Posts #10 : A song that helps you sleep : "Walking After You" by The Foo Fighters.
The second verse says, "if you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more..." The amount of push and pull that one line describes is crazy. And overwhelmingly relatable. Which is why I chose this song for this post. The music is a wonderful whiskey fueled lullabye, and then the lyrics spur me into thinking and mediating on love and what that means. The chorus repeats almost as a chant, "if you walk out on me, I'm walking after you...", That's so powerful. And sweet. And almost a vow. It's a promise and declaration. I put this song on, and I drift into the most peaceful of dreams.
I'm surprised to realize that I listen to this song in both times of sadness and joy, in both love and loss. It can be hopeful or desperate, depending on status of your heart. Dave Grohl, you sing my thoughts. If you haven't listened to it before, find a space to be alone, put on your headphones, and prepare to get lost.
