As much as I’m going through an exciting and wonderful new beginning, it hasn’t escaped my scope that many of you are not exactly in a seemingly ideal season of life. While I want to bask in the joy of hope and new life, I don’t want to find myself disconnected from the sometimes grim reality of my friends and loved ones.
To put it another way, I want to be a better, more sympathetic friend; and yet I know that no one wants to burden me with their negative business because they love me and are happy for my pregnant self.
It’s a weird, in-between place to be in, wanting to be obliviously high on life, yet wanting to be accessible and caring.
So there’s this song that my bud, Dan Smith, has yet to record, It Will All Happen the Way It Should. Even if you know there’s a reason for everything, sometimes it helps to have that confirmed one. more. time.
So if any of you, by beloved readers, need some encouragement today, listen to Dan’s song. While this entire clip is from a radio interview, right off the bat it starts with the song about which I’m referring. Don’t feel obligated to keep listening beyond the first song if you’re pressed for time.
It Will All Happen the Way It Should
If you find yourself all alone or in prison
Whether behind bars or in your mind, there is a plan
There’s a plan, there’s a way out
It’s all happening the way it should
If you’re behind bars or in your mind
There is a plan
If you feel yourself tied down or in danger
If it’s on the tracks or in your heart, all that will pass
All that will pass, there’s a way out
It’s all happening the way it should
If you’re tied down inside your heart, all that will pass
If you’ve pushed yourself to the edge and feel like jumping
It’s ten flights up or even more than that, just hold on
Just hold on, there’s a way out
All that will pass, there is a plan
If you’re on the edge and feel like jumping, just hold on
If you’ve taken yourself under water and you aren’t breathing
You’re drowning and you’re alive, there’s something more
Just hold on, there’s more to that
It’s all happening the way it should
If you are drowning and you’re alive, there’s something more
*loud musical bridge*
*gentle musical ending*
That was just what I needed to hear today, Suzy. Thank you.
Thanks for that confirmation, Chelsea! Bless you!
Wow, that is an excellent song, it really touched me. I try to stay strong and happy but yeah it is a good reminder. Thanks.
We can all use these reminders!
“Even if you know there’s a reason for everything, sometimes it helps to have that confirmed one. more. time.”
Indeed.
I have not seen you in a while, but I have always found you accessible, caring, and willing to lend a listening ear. For that I am very thankful!
