Not sure if my choice this week fits the theme but I do love the melody of this song.
It’s just that the song, and especially the video, mean so much to me. It has been around for a while but I fell all the way in love with it when I heard it on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. (Historically, this TV series has given me so many favorite songs.)
A couple of weeks ago, a baby, in serious trouble, was born into my extended community, and somehow this song gave me comfort. (She’s going to be fine but it was close…way too close.)
My son’s birthday was yesterday, and everything about this song made me think about him…his life…his path.
My favorite lines:
This is not love you’ve had before
This is something else
It describes the love I feel for my children and my grandchildren.
It’s just a beautiful song and video. I hope you enjoy.
First winter of my life
I was told it was the height of me
The first dance
Well, the first one that counted
Felt like my blood was built my from crackling lights
That we don’t understand
The first sound of a heartbeat
To riots roaring on
This is something else
This is something else
This is not the same as other days
This is something else
This is something else
This is life on earth
It’s just life on earth
It doesn’t need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It’s just life on earth
First light on the silent shore
Just the ships set anchor me and you
The way home
This is always the way home
So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear
To see miles and miles from here
In the first days in a strange new land
We could be sailors
This is something else
This is something else
This is not the same as other days
This is something else
This is something else
This is life on earth
It’s just life on earth
It doesn’t need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It’s just life on earth
It’s just life on earth
It doesn’t need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It’s just life on earth
