And youre so tired you dont sleep at night As your heart is trying to mend You keep it quiet but you think you might Disappear before the end

Artist- Alexi Murdoch
Song of the day- Song for you

I currently have a mix of emotions because I am elated to have found a new love of my life in Alexi Murdoch only to come to the horrid discovery that his concert this month is already sold out. Like many I first heard of him on the soundtrack to "Away We Go" entirely made up of his music. When I was writing for my friends movie review blog at the time Murdoch's music seemed to be what I couldn't stop talking about. However I ignorantly forgot about him till about ten minutes ago when this song popped up on my pandora. It was as if he had been stalking me (in the more romantic comedy charming way and less the reality creepy way) for the past 3 months and wrote this song just for me. Now perhaps this isn't possible since it was written 3 years ago and you might argue that I am living in a dream world. But it is amazingly creepy (again in the good not realistic bad way) when an entire song speaks every emotion you have that you didn't have words for. Every emotion not seen or you were sure you were hiding well and then some one comes along and just nails it. I like to call it being emotionally punched in the face. And again unlike reality, this form of abuse is sometimes exactly what I need. So for anyone out there who needs an emotional punch in the face, this one's for you.



So today I wrote a song for you
Cause a day can get so long
And I know its hard to make it through
When you say theres something wrong

So Im trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tight
And I dont know even where to start

Maybe thats a start

Cause you know its a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you are hiding from your pain
In the way, in the way you say your name

And I see you
Hiding your face in your hands
Flying so you wont land
You think no one understands
No one understands

So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
And your throat is aching but you swear
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
Anyway youre not here enough to care

And youre so tired you dont sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet but you think you might
Disappear before the end

And its strange that you cannot find
Any strength to even try
To find a voice to speak your mind
When you do, all you wanna do is cry

Well maybe you should cry

And I see you hiding your face in your hands
Talking bout far-away lands
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands

And all of this life
Moves around you
For all that you claim
Youre standing still
You are moving too
You are moving too
You are moving too
I will move you
