The odds of being alone...
I just discovered this song today when I was on iTunes previewing the Of Monsters and Men album (which, by the way, is really great) I'm not exactly sure how I came about it, it might have been in my recommended section, but I have already listened to it multiple times today. I always go through this thing when listening to songs; the very first time I hear a song it is basically just background music, then if I like it I sit down and actually listen to it. I bought the song because I knew I already liked Trent Dabbs and Amy Stroup and the song title drew me in. The more I listened to the song the more I have grown to love it. The feel, the sound, the lyrics. It mellows me out. Not even taking any other part of the lyrics into consideration, there is just something about the chorus, "wouldn't you like to know, the odds of being alone" that sounds so honest and pure that I can connect with. I have spent much of my time these past few years being alone, which i'm ok with and quite enjoy, but I often times wonder my odds of being alone for the rest of my life. And not in just a relationship since, but with friends too. I mean given my situation, i've basically come to terms with the fact that i'm just gonna be single forever, so that's unfortunate, but how alone AM I going to be? What ARE my odds? I kinda WOULD like to know. But, I guess that's life and if we knew the answers it just wouldn't be any fun. I have faith though that everything happens for a reason and alone or not, i'm excited for this next chapter in my life.
Lyrics:
Watching your world spin
Feel farther from it now
With nowhere to begin how are you to figure it out
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Yeah
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know the odds of being alone
Alone
The odds of being alone
Alone
Learning goodbyes
It's never easy love
The harder we try can never be enough
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Yeah
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know the odds of being alone
Alone
The odds of being alone
Alone
I need answers now 'cause I am caught off guard
The quiet feels so loud
Tell me this is the hardest part
Tell me this is the hardest part
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know
Wouldn't you like to know the odds of being alone
Alone
The odds of being alone
Alone
The odds of being alone

Well, it has been about 2 weeks, but I've not had much to say...well, nothing new at least. But, I was listening to this song today and ...
There's a big difference in being alone and lonely. I enjoy my alone times, but I never have that sense of being lonely. Just continue to be open for what God has planned for you. Try not to use those words "never" or "always". The Lord is full of surprises. Continue to pursue Him and you will never be alone. Love you, Mom
ReplyDeleteI do believe there is a big difference in being alone and lonely. Although I often times find myself alone, I only sometimes feel lonely, and those moments are now few and far between.
