Today’s song is I was broken by Marcus Foster. I heard about this because everyone was making a HUGE deal that Kristen Stewart was in the music video for someone who was apparently a really good friend. The video does not really do it for me, but man that voice sure does. I get chill bumps every time I hear it. And I really want to get his album to see if the rest of it is as soulful as this particular song. It is a great mellow song also which I think is another reason I like it. I’ve been into the more laid back music lately. I guess it is a new fad?
Here are the lyrics:
My head is off the ground
For a long time I was so weary
Tired of the sound, I’ve heard before,
The gnawing of the night time at the door,
Haunted by the things I’ve made
Stuck between the burning light and the dust shade.
I said now I used to think the past was dead and gone,
But I was wrong, so wrong, whatever makes you blind
Must make you strong, make you strong,
In my time I’ve melted into many forms
From the day that I was born, I know that there’s no place to hide
Stuck between the burning shade and the fading light,
I was broken, For a long time, but It’s over now.
Yes and you, and you,
Well you walk these lonely streets that people send, People send.
There are some wounds that just can’t mend, I do pretend, pretend,
I am free from all the things that take my friends
But I will stand hear till the end, I know that I can take the moon,
In between the burning shade and the fading light
I was broken, for a long time, but It’s over now
I was broken, for a long time, but It’s over now
