OK, so maybe it was a little counter-productive to only sleep for four hours last night. I felt compelled to finish my blog entry, even though the ending of it was probably too rushed, and a little forced. So it wasn’t until 2 a.m. that I finally surrendered and went to bed. Unfortunately, I had to wake up at 6 a.m. today. (It’s going to be even worse tomorrow.)

I had forgotten about the band Embrace. I remember having a bunch of their tracks, but I guess they fell off my iPod playlist. This is one of my favorite tracks of theirs:

Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me
When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how long I’ve agreed

I tried to fight the feeling, the feeling took me down.
I struggled and I lost the day you knocked me out.
Now everything’s got meaning, and meanings bring me down.
I’m watching as a screening of my life plays out.

Every day I fight these feelings.
For your sake I will hide the real thing.
You can run all your life, all mine I will chase….

You should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them.
You should never fight your feelings.
You have to follow nature’s law.

I’ll live with never knowing, if knowing’s gonna change.
I’ll stop the feeling growing, I will stay away.
Like a broken record stuck before a song,
a million beginnings, none of them the one.

Every day I fight these feelings.
For your sake I will hide the real thing.
You can run all your life, all mine I will chase….

You should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them.
You should never fight your feelings.
You have to follow nature’s law.

I wrote her letters and tried to send them.
In a bottle I placed my hope.
An S.O.S. full of good intentions.
Sinking, will you give it to me? Don’t make me wait.
You build me up, knocked me down,
but I will stand my ground
and guide this light that I’ve found.

You should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them.
If you let them show, you’ll keep them.
I know you hurt, but soon you’ll rise again, again, again….

You should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them.
You should never fight your feelings.
You have to follow nature’s law.

Out of sight behind these eyes you’ll stay
Where everything is possible
It’s beautiful

You’re the first and the last time that I’ll ever try
so dry your eyes, I’ll say goodbye, I say goodbye….

This just goes to show that I have to re-sync my iPod to my computer more often than I do. Who knows what other cool songs I’m missing out on?
