It's that time of year Leave all our hopelessness aside

Artist- Imogen Heap
Song of the day- Just for now

 Today's song I at first did not realize was a holiday song, though it played on "The Holiday" and landed a pretty sweet cover on Kelly Clarkson's Christmas album as well. But listening to the lyrics I realized it sums up a pretty big part of the season, where "just for now" we leave the trouble of the world, all our craziness and hopelessness aside to enjoy each other to enjoy peace and hearth though the bickering and crowds and hustle and bustle, it's difficult and something we have to continuously remind ourselves to come back to which Heap covers perfectly. And also it's insane to watch her first and craft an entire song with just her voice. So just for now, take time to enjoy an artist's amazing holiday creation.



Just for now, just for now, just for now
Just for now, just for now, just for now
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside
(If just for a little while)
Dear, stop right here
I know we'll follow the bumpy ride
(I'm secretly on your side)
How did you know? It's what I always wanted
Could never have too many of these
Will ya quit kicking me under the table?
I'm trying, will somebody make us shut up about it
Can we settle down please
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside
(If just for a little while)
Dear, stop right here
I know we'll follow the bumpy ride
(I'm secretly on your side)
Bite tongue, deep breaths
Count to ten, nod your head
I think something is burning now you've ruined the whole thing
Muffle the smoke alarm
Whoever put on this music had better quick, sharp, remove it
Pour me another, oh, don't wag your finger at me
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside
(If just for a little while)
Dear, stop right here
I know we'll follow the bumpy ride
(I'm secretly on your side)
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
Just for now

Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while) Tears stop right here

Artist- Imogen Heap
Song of the day- Just for now

I was recently discussing the fantasticness that is Imogen Heap and how after I saw this video it floored me how she could create a song with mostly just her voice and clapping! Plus this song is kind of how I'm dealing with life right now, trying to get through things that I just wanna get out of by trying to enjoy little breaks of moments, the just for nows, in between the bumpy ride. It feels like pulling teeth and frantic most of the time but if you can grab those moments that get your through and be able to pause, drop all the crap you're dealing with and take break, perhaps a clap break with me and Imogen, it might help.



(Just for now) (x6)

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

How did you know?
It's what I always wanted,
You can never have too many of these
Will ya quit kicking me under the table?
I'm trying, will somebody make her shut up about it?
Can we settle down please?

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

Lie down
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
(sniff sniff)

I think something is burning,
Now you've ruined the whole thing
Muffle the smoke alarm
Whoever put on this music
Had better quick, sharp, remove it
Pour me another
Oh, don't wag your finger at me

It's that time of year,
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside (if just for a little while)
Tears stop right here,
I know we've all had a bumpy ride (I’m secretly on your side)

Will ya get me outta her, Get me outta here, Get me outta here (repeats til end)
Just for now
Just for now.
