Something In The Heavens by Lewis Capladi

I was going to break my rules for my music post, and that rule of only posting new releases, since I was going to write about Perfett by Pamela Bezzina, now perfett in Maltese means perfect, and it was in a song festival with the Maltese language. The radio host this morning was talking about how this song should get more airtime, and I agree, since the lyrics are gorgeous.

However, I started listening to this week’s playlist and the new song of Lewis Capaldi Something in the Heavens and the line ‘Hands as soft as the sand but harder to hold’ because this week my wheelchair broke. I couldn’t work from the office, and for some reason, I truly felt I was going to get fired. On top of that, I’m not in excellent health, so doing tests to the point that I was questioning my mum why I’m alive.

I’m sharing all this not to trigger or upset anyone, but I’m using myself as an example that no days can come out of nowhere. As Lewis says it best, ‘But life can cut like a knife, that’s just how it goes’. So, if you want to take one thing from this post, it is that you are worthy even if you don’t feel you are. By the way, a good scream to let everything out does wonders to let stuff out.

Something In The Heavens Lyrics:

Eyes of emerald and white, more precious than gold
Hands as soft as the sand but harder to hold
Tonight could be the last time, your heartbeat and mine are ever this close
But life can cut like a knife, that’s just how it goes

But, till the day I die, I will dream of you
In a million lives, you’re the one I’d choose

I’ll love you till my last breath
You’re gone, but
Something in the Heavens tells me that we’ll be together again
I’ll see you around the bend
You’re gone, but
Something in the Heavens tells me that we’ll be together again

Sounds of gathering clouds are all that I hear
Just days of permanent grey since you disappeared

But, till the day I die, I will dream of you
In a million lives, you’re the one I’d choose

I’ll love you till my last breath
You’re gone, but
Something in the Heavens tells me that we’ll be together again
I’ll see you around the bend
You’re gone, but
Something in the Heavens tells me that we’ll be together again

Together again
Oh-ooh
Something in the Heavens tells me that we’ll be together again
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Something in the Heavens tell me that we’ll be together again

The Mind As Glass:

See the mind as a glass.

Strong, shining, stunning colours

That move into the rainbow

But if it breaks when it falls

The pieces you miss

Will be hard to put together
