A Music Note

Just a thought on this day before the big red day-Lily Allen's new song "I Could Say". Find a way to get it. Google the lyrics. On second thought, I'll post them here...I think the music really makes the lyrics even more meaningful, though. Make sure you get your hands on this song, because I think it's really speaks to the freedom there is in not having someone, especially someone who isn't good to be with in the first place. I've been playing the chords on the piano over and over-it gets stuck in your head, in a good way.

The first two lines of the chorus grabbed me the most- "Since you've gone, I've lost that chip on my shoulder. Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older." I've got some feminist thoughts that don't seem to translate into living them out, which is a shame. But this song isn't so much of a feminist, girl-power song. It's more of a general freedom song, and it will be what I'm humming today through everyone else getting flowers at work, and all day tomorrow into the night. I feel like I've gotten older. It feels good.

Lily Allen- I Could Say

I could say that I'll always be here for you,
But that would be a lie and quite a pointless thing to do,
I could says that I'll always have feelings for you
but I've got a life ahead of me, I'm only 22,

Since you've gone I've lost a chip on my shoulder,
Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older,
And now you've gone it feels as if the whole wide world is my stage
And now you've gone it's like I've been let out of my cage,

You always made it clear that you hated my friends,
You made me feel so guilty when I was running around with them,
And everything was always about being cool,
And now I've come to realise there's nothing cool about you at all,

Since you've gone I've lost a chip on my shoulder,
Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older,
And now you've gone it feels as if the whole wide world is my stage
And now you've gone it's like I've been let out of my cage,

Since you've gone I've lost a chip on my shoulder,
Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older,
And now you've gone it feels as if the whole wide world is my stage
And now you've gone it's like I've been let out of my cage
