You Gotta Swim

Hello Blog Friends! It has been a surprisingly successful month for me. I have been dealing with some things and surviving without too much trouble. I have started moving on with life and loving the power of music. It has been awhile since I have done a music list and here is one. Music has been my saving grace allowing me to see the difference between remember memories and letting go of people when they don’t match them anymore.

So here are the 15 Most Important Songs that have connected with me this past month:


1) Always – Switchfoot
“These are the scars, deep in your heart. This is the day you were born. And this is the hold, where most of your soul comes ripping out from the places you’ve been torn.”

2) Circle the Drain – Katy Perry
“Thought that I was the exception, I could have rewrite your addiction. You could've been the greatest, but you'd rather get wasted. You fall asleep during the play, 'Cause the pills you take, are more your forte. I'm not sticking around to watch you go down. Wanna be your lover, not your fucking' mother. Can't be your savior, I don't have the power. I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain.”

3) Defying Gravity – Glee Kids
‎"Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost. Well if that's love? It comes at much too high a cost. I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity. Kiss me goodbye, I'm Defying Gravity. I think I'll try Defying Gravity. And You Won't Bring Me Down."


4) Solider – Anna Nalick
“She was a pretty Texas girl, the answer to his prayers. He called me to tell me he'd fallen in love with her. She sang like an angel, loved like a friend. And she made my soldier believe he could live again.”

5) Should Have Said No – Taylor Swift
“You should've said no, you should've gone home. You should've thought twice before you let it all go. You should've known that word, bout what you did with her. Would get back to me... And I should've been there, in the back of your mind. I shouldn't be asking myself why? You should've said no, baby and you might still have me.”

6) More Like Her – Miranda Lambert
“Then you realized you wanted what you had. I guess I should've been more like that. I should have held on to my pride; I should have never let you lie. I guess you got what you deserved. I guess I should've been more like her. Forgiving you, she's stronger than I am. You don't look much like a man from where I'm at.”

7) Impossible – Shontelle
“Falling out of love is hard. Falling for betrayal is worst. Broken trust and broken hearts. I know, I know... if you're done with embarrassing me. On your own you can go ahead tell them. Tell them all I know now, shout it from the roof tops. Write it on the skyline. All we had is gone now. Tell them I was happy and my heart is broken. All my scars are open. Tell them what I hoped would be impossible.”

8) Every time You Lie – Demi Lovato
“I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. A long list of gentlemen; happy to take your place. Less trashier, much classier, then who you prove to be. How long's it gonna take before you see that she's no me. I knew better than to let you break my heart. This soul you'll never see again, won't be showing scars. You seem to love her I can see it in your eyes. The truth is all that I can hear. Every time you lie.”

9) Who Knew – Pink
“If someone said three years from now. You'd be long gone. I'd stand up and punch them out cause they're all wrong. I knew better cause you said forever and ever. Who knew?”

10) Swim – Jack’s Mannequin
“You've gotta swim. Swim for your life. Swim for the music that saves you when you're not so sure you'll survive. You gotta swim. Swim when it hurts. The whole world is watching, you haven't come this far to fall off the earth. The currents will pull you away from your love. But just keep your head above.”

11) Steel City – My Favorite Highway
“It all came undone, the moment you meant it. I honestly can't believe coincidence and possibility could sway, but I'll try and explain baby. I wanna be fixed, I wanna be broken. I wanna be closed, I wanna be open. When stars and hearts align I'm sure you'll come to find the love we had was blind. She says December will help me remember.”

12) This Ain’t A Love Song – Scouting for Girls
“And I'm a little bit lost without you. And I'm a bloody big mess inside. And I'm a little bit lost without you. This ain’t a love song this is goodbye.”

13) I Look So Good (Without You) – Jessie James
“Hey I'd never would of thought that when you left me I'd feel sexy n so good in my skin again. And I'd never would of known that I'd be dreamin' so much better without you in my head. Standing in front of the mirror my clothes never fit better, my life's never been brighter. I look so good without you. Got me a new hairdo. Lookin' fresh n brand new. Since you said "that we're through." Done.. with your lies, baby now my tears dried . You can see my brown eyes. Ever since you said goodbye. I look so good, I look so good without you.”

14) Not Like The Movies – Katy Perry
“Snow white said when I was young, "One day my prince will come." So I wait for that date. They say its hard to meet your match, I gotta find my better half. So we make perfect shapes. If stars don't align, if it doesn't stop time, if you can’t see the sign, wait for it. One hundred percent, with every penny you spend. He'll be the one that finishes your sentences. If it's not like the movies, that’s how it should be. When he's the one, you'll come undone, and my world will stop spinning. That’s just the beginning.”

15) Mine – Taylor Swift
“Braced myself for the goodbye, cause that's all I've ever known.
Then, you took me by surprise when you said, "I'll never leave you alone." You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water and every time I look at you, it's like the first time. I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter. She is the best thing that's ever been mine."

That as you can see has been my journey. Starting kind of sad and bitter, but coming out strong and hopeful. One day I will find someone that will know how lucky they are. Something that will let themselves be mine. Good Night Bloggers and Friends!
