This is not that song. That song is more of a Spring/Summer song. However, that song lead me to the album that lead me to this song.
It was a band I was familiar with previously because of a song that had gotten a lot of attention a few years ago. But, I'm digressing or something.
Song 56
"Fear" from the album Waking Up, by OneRepublic
This song is one that tonally puts me in the mind of Autumn. Particularly late November. Surprise! I didn't want to wait that long. The beat and piano is what really sends me there. As bad as this might sound, it reminds me of Bugs Bunny cartoons doing Hiawatha. Yes. This song makes me think of Native Americans and no, not Thanksgiving.
There is just this kind of driving beat. Like a waterfall going on in this song. I really like it.
Then, the lyrics themselves...are relatively simple, but convey a fairly deep meaning. I think so anyway:
When we were children we'd sayI really like this. I think it's kinda true. We might have gotten scared as kids, but we didn't really know what that meant. We didn't know what real fear could look like. It's a nostalgic sentiment that I really enjoy this time of year. To look back with those rosy colored glasses at childhood and the innocence and adventures I used to have.
That we don't the meaning of
Fear, fear, fear,
Fear, fear, fear
We don't know the meaning of...
So, here you go. Face your fears, let 'em out. The only hold you back. Live like a child again when you only have hope and eyes for the future!
grace, peace + hope
