Artist- Foster the People
Song of the day- Houdini
I have been quite a fan of Foster the People and regretted not thuroughly enjoying their concert more do to the fact it was past midnight and I was struggling to hold myself on a House of Blues railing while attempting to stay awake for Lykke Li going on after at 1am. However they were quite the talk of lollapalooza and even my half conscious self could tell they put on quite the upbeat dancy show. Yet it wasn't until my friend sent me an acoustic concert they did including today's song that I was like, hold the phone, what is this voice? And who is it attached to so I may fall in love with them? Songs I had already heard and enjoyed they were able to mellow down and make me appreciate on a whole other level. This song is all about ability how fear gets in the way of it how fear can make you rely on it and how rising up to use it is what we all struggle to do as we fight the fear in using it. I've had several talks this week that reminds me of this song. How some of us feel like we don't have what it takes, how some of us are trying to figure out how to use what we know when others stand in our way. Both cases we just wanna disapear but the struggle is constantly rising above it. If you are struggling to rise, this one's for you.
Rise above gonna start the war
Whatcha want whatcha need whatcha come here for
Well an eye for an eye and an F for fight
Takin me down is a prisoners riot
Got shackles on my words are tied
fear can make you compromise
with the lights turned up it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear
When I feel kinda bad and dont want stress
I just Pass it off on ability
Well you got whatcha want whatcha never knew
it's a Perfect gift from me to you
Yeah yeah yeah
Got shackles on my words are tied
fear can make you compromise
with the lights turned up it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear
(Raise up to your ability)
Never knew what I could find
Why couldn't you realize
I don't want to compromise
(Raise up to your ability)
Can't stand when I disappear
Running around cuz I'm filled with fear
and I can't go cuz my lifes a wreck
(Raise up to your ability)
I know that you want me
Throw me into the sea
For my ability
(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah you're undecided
Yeah I just want to leave here
but I don't wanna run away
Focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Now focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal
