We
have come to the end of the songs from my second album “Read Between The Lines“. This week’s song is the last track and it is called “Side By Side”.
This is a song I wrote when I almost had finished the album, and this ended up
replacing a song that I was not 100% happy with at the end. And I am happy I
went with this one. It is a very intimate song, so I wanted to keep the
performance as intimate as possible as well.
The
song itself is a quite dark look at a relationship and how we sometimes just go
with it, rather than work on it. And a few years down the line we realize we
have nothing in common. It is a hard place to be, and often when things have
gone that far, it usually is too late. Once the love is gone, it is hard to
reignite the spark… But it usually is both sides of the relationship that let
things get that bad. This song is a reminder to work on it before it is too
late. You can be the best friends in the world, but if the love is gone, it is
not a relationship. And it is every different thing to be “in love” and to
“love” someone. You can fall “in love” time and time again, that is the
fireworks at the beginning of a relationship, and it can light up over and over
again, if you take a good care of your relationship. To “love” someone is more
complex. And I believe you need to be able to love and respect yourself
first before you allow yourself to be loved.
So
if you have some special one in your life, don’t forget to nourish that love.
Take some time for each other, go out for a dinner, walk on the beach and yes
there is more, but I’ll let you figure that part out yourself. And if you don’t
have someone special at the moment, now would be a good time to look at
yourself, start to appreciate yourself, learn to love yourself. It is kind of
ironic when we feel bad about ourselves, and feel like we need someone to make
us feel great again, that’s when the “love” is hardest to find. But when we
allow ourselves to be loved, the “love” will find its way. I know this sounds
like lot of spiritual hocus pocus, but I actually believe there is a more
scientific explanation to do with primal animal instinct built-in to us, where
we sense the strong (in this case spiritually) ones in the crowd. I know that
last bit does not sound very romantic, but there are reasons why humans
survived for few hundred thousand years. So let’s not forget to embrace the
animal in us, it’s what kept us live so far.
So
there you go. That is the last track. And as I write this, I’m trying to rush
back in to do some recording for the next week’s song and a new chapter in our
journey. But for now, hit those share buttons, share the song far and wide and
let the love thrive
