I'm not going to lie...I'm a Miley Cyrus fan. You have exactly 10 seconds to mock me. Go.
Time's up. So, back to my original point. I have a weakness for her husky voice and when she actually writes the songs, they come out sounding far less...Disneyish.
But the point of this blog is not to defend my secret admiration for America's current pop princess. (Seriously, people. If I could be her, I would.) But what I want to talk about is her newest song. I don' believe she wrote it, but it's part of the soundtrack for her new movie coming out (Nicholas Sparks. Here's the preview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joCwQ2pjfjw). The lyrics make me want to cry, simply because they remind me so much of a certain man I recently married.
"When my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break through the dark
That's when I, I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
When I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I look at you."
Cheesy? Maybe a little, but I can't help it. I wish I could write songs, because I love music so much. I hate that I have to search for music written by other people to describe what I'm feeling. In the end, there is no better way for me to express myself than through a song. Anyone want to volunteer to write music to the thousands of lyrics I have stored away in my journal?
Anyway, I know this blog is a bit sappy and ridiculous, but from my perspective, there is no way I could possibly put into words what Nathan has done for me, or how I feel about him. This song shows an aspect of him that I have needed so badly the past week.
January 22nd, one year ago, was the last day I ever exchanged words of any kind with my dad. Trust me, they were not happy words. I miss him and love him and hate him all at once, and I know that if I were in a dorm room full of girls, I would not be in a good place right now. Nathan isn't just strong for me, he reminds me of my own strength when I just want to curl up and cry. Just his presence in my life reminds me of all the things I have to be thankful for, all the incredible blessings in my life. That is priceless.
Love to all,

Youre going to have to start "prego censoring" your blog. You cant make a pregnant woman read things like that!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure a certain mutually known Bzierke has some sweet chord progressions stored away... just sayin :)
ReplyDeleteThe phrase "a weakness for her husky voice" sounds straight out of a Christian romance novel. except not Christian, more like lesbian Beverly Lewis. i understand what you mean, though, just couldn't resist poking a bit of fun at you.
Wow, dear, this past week must have been rough. I wish I could have seen you and sat down and talked...I'm so glad you found someone like Nathan who you can trust so much and who cares so much for you. Love you!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!Sorry Sheryl! Lana, you just about made me pee my pants with the Beverly Lewis line. My favorite cheesy Christian book line is still "At least he still had his pants on!"
