The other day, I splurged and picked up the new CD by Andy Grammer. I wasn't even paying attention to the title - which is apropos to say the least. Magazines and Novels. Heh. Anyway, there's a couple of songs that really struck a cord with me. The first is called "Remind You".
It doesn’t mean you’re weak
Or that you’ve got low self esteem
We all got hearts that forget why they beat
We are brilliant
We are unique
We forget so effortlessly
And when your questioning your worth
In the way that we all do
And your version of amnesia
Starts to seep on through
And you know that you are great
But you can’t remember why
I will be there by your side
I will remind you
I will remind you
I will be... I’ll be your memory
I will remind you, I will remind you
All you need, is someone else to see
And they’ll remind you
We get a little bit lost
Like ships at sea
We don’t remember
Right where we’re supposed to be
And when you’re questioning your worth
From the way that we all do
And your version of amnesia
Starts to seep on through
And you know that you are great
But you can’t remember why
I will be there by your side
I will remind you
I will remind you
I will be... I’ll be your memory
I will remind you, I will remind you
All you need, is someone else to see
And they’ll remind you
A little bit of love from someone you trust
Can bring you back to life
A little bit of love
A little bit of love from someone you trust
Can bring you back to life
A little bit of love
A little bit of love from someone you trust
Can bring you back to life
A little bit of love
I will remind you
I will remind you
I will be, I’ll be your memory
I will remind you, I will remind you
All you need, is someone else to see
And they’ll remind you
The other song is 'Masterpiece'. It's the next song on the album, so I think if you click the link up there to listen to one and then hang around, it plays next. I won't list the lyrics here other than to quote a brief piece:
"This is your masterpiece. Go ahead and feel it all. Don't stop 'til it is beautiful."
I'll have to check it out, the words are lovely. I've a recommendation for you too. Check out The Shires, a British country band (huh) with a rock edge. Got a brilliant song called Nashville Grey Skies. I never thought I liked country music, but I love them.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'd not heard Andy Grammer before and cool "play on words" with his name and the title of the album. :) Sadly, there hasn't been a song or album that's caught my attention of late. I need to keep my ears open!
