My Discovery of Thrice
I’m going to admit, up until recently I never really listened to Thrice. It wasn’t until “Hurricane” played as part of one of my Daily Mixes on Spotify. I immediately fell in love with that song, listening to it multiple times each day and I’m still not tired of it. I then moved on to “Black Honey” and the same thing, loved it! Next step, check out the entire album. I know I’m late to the Thrice party, but I’m here now! I LOVE the “To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere” album from start to finish. Been a while since I found an album I love from beginning to end and can’t stop listening to. Looking forward to seeing them live this coming week with my daughter!
The Long Defeat
One of the beauties of music is how each person can take in the lyrics of a song and find their own meaning. This song found me at a place in life where things are going really well. I’m am very fortunate and can honestly say life is good, in all but one aspect of my life — my love life. It seems that every time I seem to take a step forward in that area, I wind up taking two steps back. And yet I keep holding out hope that one day I’ll find that one woman who stands by my side through this mess of a world we live in. That’s where this song hooked me. To me it’s a song of hope and inspiration, that one day things will change if we keep fighting for what we want and believe in. I continue to hold out hope and push for what I am looking for. You should to, and if you are like me, find your song that inspires you to keep pushing. Music is one of the greatest gifts in life if you ask me. Find the song that inspires you!
Thrice – “The Long Defeat” Lyrics
The tyranny of deterioration
It worries me that it’s all just a waste of time
Taking one step forward, two steps back
Still I believe there’s a thread through the thorns
Yeah I believe that somewhere it’s warm
And I believe that it’s ever bright beyond this black
So keep holding on to hope without assurance
Holding on to a memory of light
But will the morning come?
For all I know we’ll never see the sun
But together we’ll fight the long defeat
The suffering that I see all around
It’s enough to keep me crashing down till I
I lie wrecked and reeling from these falls
Still I believe there’s a word in the wire
And I believe there’s a way through the fire
And I believe there’s a joy that blooms beyond these walls
So keep holding on to hope without assurance
Holding on to a memory of light
But will the morning come?
For all I know we’ll never see the sun
But together we’ll fight the long defeat
