Thoughts and other ramblings

I’ve been in love with this song for about 5 or 6 years now. It means a lot to me, it’s something like a personal anthem for me. I used this song in the title of my travel blog back in 2014 where I shared my thoughts and experiences about my 5 weeks stay in Santa Barbara, CA. I even have the first 2 lines engraved in a belt which has a guitar belt buckle I wear with my winter coat (I look pretty badass with it too, hah). Back in 2016 I had the pleasure to videochat with Fivefold, which was pretty awesome! These guys are really nice and friendly. Too bad they were never well known and that they decided to break Fivefold up at the end of last year 🙁 I never had the chance to see them perform and I’m quite sad about it too.

But the most recent reason I choose this song for today is that I’m considering to finally have my very first tattoo next week (it’s about time too, I’ve been wanting one for years, just never could make up my mind…). First I wanted simply The Story tattooed somewhere on my arm, but now I think I’m going to go with Handwritten Story (Handwritten is another song I love altough from another band, The Gaslight Anthem) And so, in honour of all that, I want to share this song with you, because everyone should know about these guys!

Lyrics

This road is a winding road, you…
Never know what is to come
Yeah, yeah, yeahFading into
Memory with its
Good times and remember whens
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Staring in to this mirror
The face that I see
So much has changed since then
But if youTake the time to dig a little deeper
Take a look in my eyesYou’d see life
You’d see dreams
A fire deep in me
It’s what I am
Everything I’ll ever be
Whoa, whoa
I will not be afraid
Of what is to come
And I will rise
And I will rise
Above it allBetter days in a
Better time when
The world didn’t seem so cold
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And though I don’t understand
I’ll stand strong, I’m never giving in
Can’t break me down
‘Cause if you’d

Take the time to dig a little deeper
Take a look in my eyes

You’d see life
You’d see dreams
A fire deep in me
It’s what I am
Everything I’ll ever be
Whoa, whoa
I will not be afraid
Of what is to come
And I will rise
And I will rise
Above it all

Pull me up, hold me close
To the stormy weather
Don’t give up, don’t lose hope
I need this more than ever
I need you more than ever

You’d see life
You’d see dreams
A fire deep in me
It’s what I am
Everything I’ll ever be
Whoa
I will not be afraid
Of what is to come
And I will rise
And I will rise
Above it all

Oh I will not be afraid
I need you more than ever

This road is a winding road, you…
Never know what is to come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
