Listen to this song and tell me it doesnt give you shivers down the back of your spine.
Just listen. I bet you can’t.

Listening to the different harmonies and the simplicity of the actual song is what makes it brilliant. The different ranges of voices and how powerful each individual is in the song is unexplainable.

It’s one of the reasons that this is my favourtie song.
There was a time when i truly didnt care what anyone thought of me. This was the time that i made my mum and dad fork out £150 a month for me to attend drama school. To sing dance and act for 12 hours a week. Knowing that i was special to have got in after going through the gruelling auditions.

I worked hard. I tried in everything i done and always excelled. But most of all i wanted everyone to know about it. I wanted people to attend the pantos and the summer shows. Days off school where harder work than when i was at school.

Waking up at 6am to start loosening up and getting ready for the 2 shows a day for what felt like a lifetime but would only be something like 4 weeks. It was the time that i looked forward to the most.

I didnt have to be the main character or even have to have a speaking part but being on that stage was when i came alive. When i was in my element and the only place that it didnt matter if i was wearing absouloutley nothing i would perform to my greatest and be the one that everyone talked about because i loved what i was doing.
But all that feels like a lifetime ago.

Now listen closer.
This song is about love. The thing that we all find one of the most difficult things to do. We all find it very easy to diss out the hate without realising it. Bitching, talking about how someone decided how to dress.
Im sure you will have heard the phrase ‘did she look in the mirror before she came out’ many times.
But when was the last time you just said hello to a stranger, or told your best friend that you loved them and thanks for just being there or someone who you havent seen in a while just called them to say hi.

Most probably what feels like Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes.

I guess this song means a lot to me.
It makes me remember that we all need a little bit of love in our life.

Even if it is just loving yourself a little bit more again.
We all get wrapped up in our silly little lifes and make stupid things important when we could all just get on a lot better if we just remembered to love one another.

I guess this is a fresh start.
Hopefully back to my gamta ways.
Life’s way too short.

I liked myself so much better then.
