Songs have an impact on our lives. They remind us of special times that we shared. They express how we feel about something, without actually having to say it in black and white. They can depress us or they can uplift us. Songs have the power to unleash and provoke our perceptions and emotions…
A few days ago I’ve been listening to a song, I’d always feel a bit melancholy. The song is “High” by Lighthouse Family. It’s a pretty upbeat, “endless love” type of song. Strange an upbeat song would make me melancholy. Then I realized, the song was kind of familiar. But where? I couldn’t figure it out. Then I remembered why.
It was the a song, that was played at the last day of my holiday. So it was a very farewell with my friends in a good way. Emotionally intense, and there’s a feeling of sadness in the air for everyone, and the holiday is over.
The radio played the song “High” and for some reason the song click with me. It some how summed up the euphoric and sentimental feeling. And was a great song to end with my friends. When we left, I tried to remember what the song was. It drove me nuts. I kept trying to remember the verses and chorus so I could download it when I got home.
I guess the melancholy comes from being sentimental about the past. The good times on the holiday, etc. It’s just interesting that after all this time, a song subconsciously brings up melancholy feelings…
HIGH
(sung by Lighthouse Family)
When you’re close to tears remember
Some day it’ll all be over
One day we’re gonna get so high
And though it’s darker than December
What’s ahead is a different colour
One day ‘we’re gonna get so high
And at
The end of the day remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we’ll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day remember the way
We stayed so close till the end
We’ll remember it was me and you
’Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
Don’t you think it’s time you started
Doing what we always wanted
One day we’re gonna get so high
’Cause even the impossible is easy when we got each other
One day ‘we’re gonna get so high
And at
The end of the day
remember the days
when we were close to the edge
And we’ll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day
remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
We’ll remember it was me and you
’Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
’Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
High, high, high, high, high, high, high, high
And at
remember the days
when we were close to the edge
And we’ll wonder how we made it through the night
The end of the day
remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
We’ll remember it was me and you
’Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love (x3)
