Music Monday – Disappearing World

Anyone who meets me knows I love music. I love all types… ummm okay I love most types of music. For me its about the lyrics and what it is the artist is talking about or what message they are trying to convey. I love to dissect a song and its lyrics completely. Every Monday I want to post a song that either inspires me, makes me think about the world we live in, motivates me to always be who I am or may be something I was feeling at some point. It will be a great mix of different types of music and hope it will also do the same for you. I love to think that music captures what so many of us may be feeling or want to say, but don’t know how.

SONG – DISAPPEARING WORLD

ARTIST – DAVID GRAY

LYRICS –

Slowly the truth is loading
I’m weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of

Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don’t it just look so pretty
This disappearing world

We’re threading hope like fire
Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood

Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don’t it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world

I’ll be sticking right there with it
I’ll be by your side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit ’em ‘tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right

Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Don’t it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world

LISTEN TO IT HERE – Disappearing World, David Gray

WHY I PICKED IT – David Gray is my next favorite artist in the world after y’all know who. All his music is amazing and filled with so much meaning and thought. As for this song it is one of my favorites of his, I love his voice, the piano and most of all the lyrics. I think the song can be interpreted many ways, but for me its about the beautiful world we live in and how it’s disappearing. With wars, natural, environmental and man made disasters we are slowly killing our world. I love to listen to this song when I have a lot on my mind, it reminds that my problems are small compared to what everyone else is going through. This song is also one of the songs that made me want to see the world and see it  now before it does disappear. Listen to it a few times and tell me it doesn’t make you think the same.
