It’s strange, but sometimes on weekend evenings, I get anxiety that appears out of nowhere when I turn everything off to go to bed. One of those nights, I just turned on Spotify and hoped it would put me to sleep before it did. A song came on that I wanted to share with you. The issue is that in the morning I forgot what the title is or the artist. As I was about to give up on it and pick another song, I remembered it had the words’ weight’ and ‘light’ in the title, so I played a bit of a word puzzle and listened to a few songs, and I found my match.
It is “The Weight of the Light” by Teddy Bear Texas. The second issue I have is that I can’t find the lyrics to the song, which I found impossible, but believe me, everything and anything about teddy bears popped up, but not what I needed. Now, I don’t know if it is because it was released a few days ago. The lyrics themselves have a story being told in them. At first, I thought the ‘snaps’ I saw in my head.
As I mentioned, this post has been more challenging than my typical Monday ones. However, the more I listen to it, the more I can see a connection. It starts with the lines: “I used to pray for better days”, “Till the pain had more to say”. When I was young, and I told people I wanted to write, some people laughed in my face, knowing how much I struggled to read. The next line I picked was “I chased the sun, I burnt my skin”, which reminded me of how much I told myself I can’t do but tried anyway. My last picked lines are: “You’re not the dawn you’ve been through”,” You’re every dawn that falls its way through”. Since, in a way, I’m living the dream in having the freedom to write whatever comes to my mind.
Little Child:
With his hands on his lap
He looks into the world
But no one sees him
Because they think he’s too young
To understand what’s going on
