Music Monday: The Fear

You've seen the "You are here" maps in public places. You've looked at that red dot and tried to make sense of where it was locating you, wondering if you understood where you really were. It's important information to have in case of an emergency situation.

And it's good to have in life, too.

I'm thinking this next song speaks to that a bit. How insignificant we feel sometimes. How hopeless our future seems. Consequently, our life reflects such feelings. That quickly wears a person down. Have a listen to Ben Howard's "The Fear" and see what you take from it.

Here are the lyrics:

Mama, cold-hearted child, tell me how you feel
Just a blade in the grass, spoke unto the wheel
Mama, cold-hearted child, tell me where it's all gone
The luster of your bones, those arms that held you strong

 
I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear
I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear

 
Mama, cold-hearted child, tell me how you feel
Just a grain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill
Mama, cold-hearted child, tell me where it all falls
Oh this apathy you feel will make a fool of us all 

I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
I been worryin' that I'm losing the ones I hold dear
I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear 

Oh I will become what I deserve 

I been worryin',
I been worryin',
I will become what I deserve 

I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear
I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear
