The incomparable Nina Simone
This is a song Iāve been writing about my addiction in the past two weeks Iāve been living at my sober house
That is literally remarkable! Thank you for bringing it to the attention of a wider audience.
2 minutes and 42 seconds that I will never get back. Lol
Thanks dude!
Seeing these guys tonight in Wrigleyville
Dion and the belmonts - your own backyard
Caught up in my feels tonight listening to this one by Blue October
Gill Scott Heron. Struggled most of his life with drugs and alcohol, but he also changed other peopleās lives for the better.
The thing that will always stay with me was that his last album came out, he was playing in London and I was too drunk to bother going. āIāll catch him another timeā. Then he was dead. And I realised I was a fucking deadbeat.
15 months without a drink now.
I listened to this song for a month straight when I got sober.
Surprised I didnāt see this one hereā¦ (edit: the song not necessarily his version of it)
Music starts at about 45 seconds.
I love that movie and the soundtrack!
Heard this while running the other day and got all the feels. āItās hard to dance with the devil on your backā. Yeah it is! Shake him off.
Sober by Pink is one song I just love. I have it on my workout mix in a faster beat than normal and it always inspires me.
I donāt wanna be the girl who laughs the loudest
Or the girl who never wants to be alone
I donāt wanna be there calling 4 oāclock in the morning
Cause Iām the only one you know in the world that wonāt be home
Ah, the sun is blinding
I stayed up again
Oh, I am finding
That thatās not the way I want my story to end
Iām safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this partyās over?
No pain
Inside
Youāre my protection
But how do I feel this good sober?
I donāt wanna be the girl that has to fill the silence
The quiet scares me 'cause it screams the truth
Please donāt tell me that we had that conversation
Cause I wonāt remember, save your breath, 'cause whatās the use?
Ah, the night is calling?
And it whispers to me softly come and play
But I, I am falling
And If I let myself go Iām the only one to blame
Iām safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this partyās over?
No pain
Inside
Youāre like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?
Coming down, coming down, coming down
Spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round
Iām looking for myself, sober
Coming down, coming down, coming down
Spinning 'round, spinning 'round, spinning 'round
Looking for myself, sober
When itās good, then itās good, itās so good ātill it goes bad
āTill youāre trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry, never again
Broken down in agony just tryinā to find a friend
Oh,
Oh,
Iām safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this partyās over?
No pain
Inside
Youāre like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?
Iām safe
Up high
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this partyās over?
No pain
Inside
Youāre like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?
I love this song
Thatās a jam right cha!
