Unlikely Candidates for Spiritual Consolation (3)
Yes indeed I'm alone again
and here comes emptiness crashing in
it's either love or hate
I can't find in between
cause I've been with witches
and I have been with a queen
it wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day
wish there was something
I could say or do
I can resist anything
but temptation from you
but I'd rather walk alone
than chase you around
I'd rather fall myself
than let you drag me down
it wouldn't have worked out any way
and now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day
yesterday seems like a life ago
cause the one I love
today I hardly know
you I held so close in my heart oh dear
grow further from me
with every fallen tear
it wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day
ANOTHER LONELY DAY by Ben Harper
Well if the lyrics dun make you sigh, the melody will.
Its one of the few mood altering songs that i know of. Primarily for personal reasons. On my engagement anniversary of 03, i came across this song, thankyou Kazaa, and for some reason burnt a cd titled Break-up. The irony of it is that back then i hadn't been broken up. Infact was the farthest thing from it.
But this song somehow made me want to be prepared.
It comes in handy now, once a month, i put this on on repeat and just allow myself to have a lonely day. Any one whose ever heard Ben Harper croon knows his voice needs no praise, once you hear him sing you will be changed. Sadly enough, not for the better. He has the ability to seap through your veneer of false relief with life. When a song makes you want to cry, even when you're high, its got something over every other song ever sung.
I really have no idea how to go about praising this little ditty, because just remembering it sends my now fairly well resolved emotional state into turmoil. As anyone who has read my blog can see i've been battling my own neurosis for some semblance of control over the way i feel, letting myself be dragged away by the emotional tidal wave that this song tends to induce isn't a very good idea. So i'll leave my ode to Another Lonely Day for another lonely day and let those who choose to follow up on my reccomendation form thier own opinions.
I will say this though, its good band aid for breaking hearts, and good medicine for broken ones.
