Adieu

This blog post is probably the most unintuitive I will ever write, and seemingly the most random as well. However, its really important to me. My brother introduced me to this song a few months back, and I probably listen to it at least 3 or 4 times a week now. It is from this very vague British Band, Enter Shikari, called "Adieu." The song is slow, and starts of sad. The lyrics are kind of melancholy as well, but the song is so unique in that it has two clear parts too it. The song, as I said, starts slow and melancholy, but by the end it speeds up a bit, and is so very uplifting.

Besides the music, there is a line at the end of the song that really gets to the core of me. Home could be anywhere, when I am holding you. This is so resounding, is it not? The context of the song is of a significant other that the writer loves, but it works on so many levels. Every time I listen to it, I think of someone important to me. Someone that makes me feel at home in this world, no matter where I am. It works for anyone I am close to. Roommates, friends, brothers, parents. Friends close to me, friends far away. Friends in the next room, 8 floors above; friends I haven't heard from in a few years. It also gives me hope that one day I will have that person, that special person that is special to me and I am special to her.

This blog isn't really going anywhere with my words, but I think you should all give it a listen, and try and put yourself in the mindset I am in when I listen to it. I think you will find it as beautiful as I do.
