So for those of you who have not read my blog let me just let you in on a little secret. I love ballads. Like more then anything in the world. They are sad yet happy and just always make me feel better by the end. They are absolutely perfect. Speaking of perfect ballads let's talk about one of my favorites, Anchor Me by The Tenors. I may be slightly biased since this is my girlfriend and I's song. And it was also the ballad of my show choir last year but who cares? never the less it is a passionate and moving song. It inspired me to let go and truly learn the meaning of leave it all on the stage.
"I have no more strength left
Can you stand and fight?
I'm dying in this doubt
Can you be my faith tonight?"
With lyrics like this I could not help but break down on stage while performing this beautiful song. We performed this song for showchoir when I was going through probably one of the hardest things a teenage can attempt to overcome. I was in the process of coming out not only to my self but to my catholic family. Fun right? No, coming out is never fun. I mean what is fun about standing in front of people you love and telling them that you are different, no one want to be different, at least I don't, I just want to blend in with the crowd. Anyway my point I that this song is very inspirational and it helped me through a very tough time. And I think it could do that for many of you so take a few minutes to listen to it now if you never have ever this elegantly beautiful song.
Everyone has hardships in life. Everyone has path they are meant to take, lessons they must learn, obstacles to overcome, no person's just like the next. And it's over coming this thing that make us who we are. And one great way of over coming obstacles and coping with the issues at hand is music. It allows you to express yourself in a way like no other. I can tell you for sure that if it weren't for music like Anchor Me I wouldn't be writing this blog right now. So next time you feel like you cant go now turn on some tunes and just relax. who knows maybe Anchor me will pop next on your Pandora.
