Now, I am all over the place...but what has remained constant is my tears and breaking down crying day after day, time after time, for a little while now. Tears of pain, joy, hope, sorrow, confusion, and not sure...
These lyrics make me cry. Watching the video of the first audition of Carrie Underwood on American Idol inspires me. She is so precious and innocent. Her voice amazing.
I am so exhausted and my mind everywhere...but the other video of Susan Boyle I have watched over and over and over (today in particular) ....well the one of Carrie Underwood too...
The one with Susan Boyle makes me break down weeping time after time after time. I am going to watch it again now....I don't know how to do the link thing right now...just too tired ....but it can be found under just typing Susan Boyle.
Now, these lyrics also make me burst out in tears...and Carrie Underwood sings this brilliantly...I think...
I can barely stand to write this...I must take a break, I have been nonstop...although I am amazed at your writing MM, the lengths, the skill ...I started to read your last couple of posts...the one on friends...and just fell apart too....started weeping....it was so poignient...and helpful and amazingly written...have to get back to it...and must rest
Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So if you're mad get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/carrie-underwood-lyrics/i_ll-stand-by-you-lyrics.html ]
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You don't know what to do
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
Oh I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you


You know...I did not know that Carrie Underwood sang this song. I first heard it on of all things...Glee. But it is one of my favorites...it is about loyalty and friendship and all that good stuff.
Songs are like this...they can really invoke a lot of emotion and I find that music can be both cathartic and healing.
Now you have me wanting to listen to music...how about that? :>)
Thank you for telling us about these songs and how they affect you. Keep writing!
