Music Monday – Dare You To Move

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 – DARE YOU TO MOVE

ARTIST – SWITCHFOOT

LYRICS – 

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone’s here
Everyone’s here
Everybody’s watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

LISTEN TO IT HERE – Dare You To Move, Switchfoot

 

WHY I PICKED IT – I believe the message of this song is very simple… it’s about life and how we handle it when things don’t go out as planned out. Regardless of what it was that didn’t go our way it’s a simple question they are asking us to do “Dare You To Move”. Yes that simple… move on don’t look back and continue with life as it never happened. Often in life hold grudges or allow circumstances hold us back. We shouldn’t but we do… and it’s as if everyone is watching out every move. Around this time of the year I think when every one plans on what changes they need to make for the next year and how to make it better. So I am going to give you something to think about it… I “DARE YOU TO MOVE” yes… I dare to move and lift your self up to do what it is you want to do in life and why wait until the new year… why not MOVE now!
