Fall for you. . .

Here we are, together
And everything between us is good
I'm right here in this cloud baby
Ready to fly but before I take
Another step

When you are in a new space with someone new, you can often be left trying to figure out what to do, where to begin, how to get things moving.  Do things even need to move at all?  The nerves kick in, there is a silence that ensues because the last thing you want is to continually chatter about nothing and ruin a potentially good conversation.  What cloud are you in?  Even if you are to find yourself there with someone, do you really want to be there?  What will make you take that final step?

Would you catch me if I fall for you?
'Cause I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling

Has someone told you that they think they are falling in love with you?  It's not something you probably hear every day and you probably don't even know how to take that in - especially if you've just met the person.  How can they possibly love you when they absolutely nothing about you?  All the have to go on is observations of you in some faraway time, lost in your own world, thinking about who knows what, going who knows where.  Are you prepared to fall?  What if we are just too stubborn and we are too unwilling to fall for anything - let alone recognize what it feels like when we fall in love?

I'm so used to standing
So used to being on my own
But this thing is new baby
It feels like I'm losing control
I'll take another step

The thing about 'new things' is that you don't know where to put it.  There isn't really a nice neat little tidy place for it, because you need to start making space for it, to disrupt your usual routine.  When you start giving up on taking chances and risks that the fainthearted would do, then there's something wrong with this picture.  Why are we afraid to lose control?  We think a lot about trying to keep on the right side of people, but for me, I guess it has more to do with the mismatch in dynamics when meeting a new person.  You can never really tell if they're telling the truth because you're only just starting to get to know them.


Will you promise to be there?
Stay by my side always?
Whenever I need you
Don't let me down, no, no

Promises are hard to keep.  Especially if you're in the habit of constantly breaking them.  Have you pledged a promise to someone?  Have they broken their promises to you?  I don't know how to take people sometimes, because they seem to say one thing but do another.  How do we ensure that we will always try to be there for each other?  I guess that only comes with time and open communication.  I would like to think that I don't let people down.  I'm used to being on the receiving end of being let down.  You quickly learn to be resilient and just take it on the chin.  Just because you can, doesn't particularly mean that you enjoy it.

If I give you my all, don't let me fall
Would you do that for me?
Hold me?
Will you love, will you love me?


When was the last time you ever gave your all in anything?  When you bought a lottery ticket? If someone admitted their feelings to you, would you be able to put your own feelings aside and just be supportive of their feelings.  Maybe you don't know what to do with them?  Probably because you don't know how to cope with it yourself, I mean, who tells people they love them the first time that they see them?  I'm not saying it doesn't happen or that it's not normal.  I'm just trying to process you sharing your feelings.

My heart is ready
For love and to be loved
And I chose you, baby
That's the one thing I'm sure of
So I will take this one last step

Sometimes we go to choose, but we choose too late and the moment passes us by.  The thing about love is that sometimes it comes knocking on your door when you least expect it because you've shut that particular door.  Instead, you try to steady yourself because even though your heart is ready, you're not ready to be loved. You need to start trusting yourself, that maybe in due course, you will see yourself the way everybody sees you - shiny. full of kindness and poised to accept what you have to offer.  So maybe I will take this last step and just fall for you. . .

To be loved by you. . .

To be loved by you is like a breeze Like the summer rain falling through the trees Like the waves that's crashing on the seas, it's easy To be loved by you is like a song Playing in your head you can dance along Like running away with the dawn, it's easy Like flowers bloom, Like my love for you It's been a long time between blog posts. So much has happened since I last reflected about life around me through music. If you have read my blog posts before, then you would know that you are meant to play the YouTube clip (see below) while you read.  I stumbled across this new song that was released today. It's Anzac Day in Aotearoa New Zealand so it's also an opportune time to reflect on the service of our countrymen for peace in previous wars. There is something oddly familiar and comforting about this melody, this song. The whole vibe drew me in and I've always been a huge Emily King fan. Are you currently with someone who helps you feel this way? What is it lik...

My eyes ain't used to these rays I'm feeling exposed but I hide no more I can't hide As the sun shines on all of my glory My flaws don't look so bad at all What was I so afraid of? No matter how hard you try to hide, or try to be inconspicuous, it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Trying to be lowkey when you are on high profile horizons is ridiculous. When your skills, gifts and talents thrust you into the spotlight, you know that you have a responsibility to do your best at all times, because it is no longer about you - it is about who you represent. You might be afraid that your failures and trauma, including your human flaws will all be on display for the world to see - but who has not lived an imperfect life? Why are we afraid of being exposed? Society teaches us to conform and be uniform. Sometimes all we need to do is insist on being comfortable with all our decisions, no matter where they lead us or where we were placed - because our flaws aren't as...
