Well, right now I’m really supposed to be writing my Civ midterm, but I found something a little more interesting and meaningful to do. So recently I have been considering my options in life. I have always known that I love to sing, and just about 20 minutes ago I was listening to songs by my favorite artist Maria Mena on youtube. I found out about her this summer, and just absolutely loved her voice. She has the kind of voice I’d love to have someday, so everyday I just keep singing. Anyway, I was listening to one of my favorite songs of hers, and when it was finished I clicked on a link to another song of hers that I had never heard before. Now, just recently I have been thinking about what I want to do and who I want to be, and I have been giving singing some serious thought. Anyway, I was just sitting back and listening to this song, and all of a sudden I stopped, shocked. I’ll post the lyrics below, and you’ll see why.
“So Sweet” by Maria Mena
cool and soothing
the wind is in your hair
not a single care
cigarettes and beer
the speed of moving
feels like you can fly
feeling kinda high
beneath the big blue sky
you let go and landed on your feet
and it felt so sweet
there’s nothing more that can hold you back now
Amelia
you always had what you finally found
Amelia
oh oh oh oh youre on your way
your fears are behind you
oh oh oh oh you’re on your way
your fears are behind you
morning glory
shines upon your face
not a single trace
of years all gone to waste
oh now here’s a story
full of hope and light
you didn’t win without a fight
now here’s to your delight
you let go and landed on your feet
and it felt so sweet
there’s nothing more that can hold you back now
Amelia
you always had what you finally found
Amelia
oh oh oh oh you’re on your way
your fears are behind you
oh oh oh oh you’re on your way
your fears are behind you
you let go and landed on your feet
and it felt so sweet

After I heard this and reread the lyrics several times, I just cried. This song explains my exact situation in life right now, and I cannot express how extremely joyful I am right now that I am coming to terms with myself and my abilities. I think this song was a sign, and I am going to pursue it as such. I can’t write anymore about this, or I’m going to drown my computer in happy tears! I’m going to go listen again…
P.S. If you want to hear the song, just go to youtube.com and search for: Maria Mena So Sweet
