I was shining in the moment And I'm holding onto you

Song of the Day - Something about you
Artist - Elderbrook and Rudimental

I keep seeing a lot of post about about who people are
staying home for during the pandemic like their grandma or baby or immune compromised
friend to try to sway the jerks who keep partying in groups or going on spring
break because they will most likely stay healthy. It got me thinking about
today’s song that has more to do with recovery but has a lot of similarities to
now. Because you are doing something that’s kind of tough while missing the
life you once had because of someone.

It’s also how I feel about going to work. I love how awkward
this video is, about a bunch of dudes sitting in a circle afraid to open up and
be vulnerable with each other that they know will lead to healing. And I have a
similar fear in the back of my mind walking to work each day, or when I’m
gowning up in ridiculous garb to go in a dangerous situation where I know I’ll
be vulnerable. It’s scary, but then I look at who is with me in the room. A
doctor, a tech, a nurse, with similar worry in their eyes but a resolve at an
attempt at healing. And then my fear eases a bit, not that the situation has
changed, but that they are with me and we’re in it together. Vulnerable
together, looking for healing together. And sure it’s expressed in an absurd
line dance in the video, which by the way someone learn this dance with me, but
it gets the same point across. So for whoever you are staying in for or going
into that scary place for or with, this one’s for you.

I miss the touch of morning sun
Making silhouettes of us
Way back when we had our bad times
We're staying up all through the night
Smoking, drinking, getting high
I was wrong and I apologize
Where did you go? What can I do?
I'm working on my problems
But I need you here to solve them
Where did you go? What should I say?
I hope that I can make a change 'cause
'Cause something 'bout you
Keeping me sober
I was shining in the moment
And I'm holding onto you
'Cause something 'bout you
Keeping me sober
I was shining in the moment
And I'm holding onto you
'Cause something 'bout you
You keep straightening me up when I'm low
'Cause something 'bout you
You keep straightening me up when I'm low
I miss the company we had
Back when I was still on track
Now I'm making my own paradise
But now the drink is tasting strange
And the high isn't the same
I'm still wrong and I apologize
Where did you go? What can I do?
I'm working on my problems
But I need you here to solve them
Where did you go? What should I say?
I hope that I can make a change 'cause
'Cause something 'bout you
Keeping me sober
I was shining in the moment
And I'm holding onto you
'Cause something 'bout you
Keeping me sober
I was shining in the moment
And I'm holding onto you
'Cause something 'bout you
You keep straightening me up when I'm low
'Cause something 'bout you
You keep straightening me up when I'm low
'Cause something 'bout you
Keeping me sober
I was shining in the moment
And I'm holding onto you
Ooh, oh, holding onto you
Oh, holding onto you
Oh, holding onto you
'Cause something 'bout you
You keep straightening me up when I'm low
(And I've been falling)
'Cause something 'bout you
You keep straightening me up when I'm low
(And I've been falling)
'Cause something 'bout you
