A brief discussion with Mr T reminded me of a song that means more to me now than it did at the time.
I'll leave it to Mr T to post that song,
Mine is
As far as I can guess it is about putting on a brave face to be with your loved one. It brings me to tears every time. In my 20s it was just a song that I liked.
[Verse]We live on a mountain right at the topThere's a beautiful view from the top of the mountainEvery morning I walk towards the edgeAnd throw little things offLike car parts, bottles, and cutleryOr whatever I find lying around
[Pre-Chorus]It's become a habitA way to start the day
[Chorus]I go through all this before you wake upSo I can feel happier to be safe up here with youI go through all this before you wake upSo I can feel happier to be safe up here with you
[Verse]It's early morning, no one is awakeI'm back at my cliff, still throwing things offI listen to the sounds they make on their way downI follow with my eyes till they crashI imagine what my body would sound likeSlamming against those rocks
When I was thinking of songs that mean more to me now I completely forgot one of the main ones, Rocketman by Elton John. Since i have discovered I am autistic that song has meant quite a lot to me as a lot of the lyrics kind of describe what being autistic in a world that doesnt understand you feels like. Im sure thats not what he was writing about but it fits quite well
I like I'm Still Standing by Elton John. For a plethora of reasons.
