Breakthrough

Been listening to my new favorite CD "Strip Me" by Natasha Bedingfield. I knew listening to her songs that she was going to be one of my favorites. Her lyrics are inspiring. Very fresh and just completely honest, they communicate emotion in a very simplistic way. Perfectly spoken, I think, which is incredibly rare. I have a few favorite artists, but none of them could be really put up against each other because they all connect with me differently. But right now, she's on my brain.

One of the songs off the album really spoke to me today during my run and I feel like it is kind of my song right now... (I very much recognize myself in music, often).

For every taste
For every try
For every tear
That never dried
I need your touch
For you to take
Away the pain

Through every fall
Through every flame
Through every trial
Along the way
I hope you’re there
Behind the clouds
Just like the sun

I’d climb to the edge of a mountain for you
I’ll go to the ends of the world to find you
We’ll dance in the shadows until we reach a
Breakthrough
Breakthrough
What we need is a breakthrough
What we need is a breakthrough

I lose my way
I lose my trust
I lose myself
When I lose us
I find my strength
To start again
When you’re with me

I’d climb to the edge of a mountain for you
I’ll go to the ends of the world to find you
We’ll dance in the shadows until we reach a
Breakthrough
Breakthrough
What we need is a breakthrough
What we need is a breakthrough
What we need is a breakthrough

Perfect words with perfect music. I call it divine interpretation. I wish I knew how to express myself that completely, somehow I only seem to be able to find myself in someone else's words anymore. But I'm glad to see a glimmer of myself, even if it is in another's words. :)

I very much enjoyed my run, no matter how small it was, I wish my lungs felt the same!
