And if you feel the failing of the light And you’re too weak to carry on the fight

Artist- James Morrison
Song of the day- I won't let you go

I've always seemed to avoid James Morrison somehow, I think cuz I'd always see his name when looking up Van Morrison and or think he was Chris Martin then realize he wasn't. But being confused for two fantastic musicians is no reason to avoid this one, in fact should have made me seek him out sooner because of the random similarities of awesome. But I started listening to him a bit more after my friend told me she was using his song as her first wedding dance. And I'm realizing more and more that hey the boy can ride a good love song. But it wasn't just about the song itself that made me pick today's song. There was something about the video, minus soft lighting and need to sing all over someone's face to feel emotion. It was about someone hurting, mentally, physically, emotionally, we don't know and it kind of doesn't even matter how. But the way this pain is dealt with the way they won't let go is not what you expect but is kind of perfect. It reminds me of my favorite movie, "Lars and the Real Girl" how this guys pain manifested in something odd isn't shunned or tried to be convinced out of him, but they go with him on the journey, they sit with him, they believe with him, they in a sense lay in the middle of the road with him. I think sometimes the most powerful way to "help" someone during a hard situation isn't trying to fix it, but the lay there with them through it. There's something kind of perfect about it. So if you're in need of someone to not let you go, this one's for you.



When it’s black,
Take a little time to hold yourself,
Take a little time to feel around,
Before it’s gone
You won’t let go, but you still keep on falling down.
Remember how you saved me now,
From all of my wrongs.
And if there’s love just feel it,
And if there’s life we’ll see it
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
I won’t let you go

Say those words, say those words like there’s nothing left.
Close your eyes and you might begin that there is some way out
Open up, open up your heart to me now
Let it all come pouring out,
There’s nothing I can’t take

And if there’s love just feel it,
And if there’s life we’ll see it
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
I won’t let you go
(Won’t let you go, won’t let you go)
And if your sky falling,
Just take my hand and hold it
You don’t have to be alone, alone, yeah
I won’t let you go

(Won’t let you go, won’t let you go)

And if you feel the failing of the light
And you’re too weak to carry on the fight
And all your friends that you care for have disappeared
I’ll be here now darling, forever, holding on
Woah

And if there’s love just feel it,
And if there’s life we’ll see it
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
I won’t let you go

(Won’t let you go, won’t let you go)
Woah no

And if your sky falling,
Just take my hand and hold it
You don’t have to be alone, alone, yeah
I won’t let you go

(Won’t let you go, won’t let you go)
Woah no, yeah

I won’t let you go, no I wont let,
I won’t let you go, no I wont let,
I won’t let you go, no I wont let you g
