Rarely a day goes by when I’m feeling a bit in a rut and not think, ‘Have I heard a Christina Perri song today‘? Her songs and lyrics touch so deep like it’s the first time listening to her. Her songs have featured here more than what I can recall. A Perri song based on my experience is my ‘get out of jail free card‘. I find her music so healing; commensurate with Rachmaninoff’s ‘Piano Concerto No.1 in F sharp minor‘ yesterday. ‘Transparency‘. Everything Perri wrote below I can attest to feeling or at least feel attuned.
[Verse 1]
Always the fighter but I think I’m fighting alone
I can’t keep crying, my fate isn’t lying, it’s just colder
And I fear the loneliest parts of my heart are afraid
Being the worst and the best in my head, I just can’t think straight
[Chorus]
I am a fighter
Throwing these daggers straight out of my mouth
I swear I can fight her
Even if she looks like me, I won’t back down
Born from a fighter
I know I fight when I need to feel loved
Strong like a fighter
What if my love is just not strong enough?
[Verse 2]
The closer you get to my heart, I keep watchin’ it break
And all of the love I have trusted havе just been mistakes
I’m fire and I’m ice, I’m wrong and I’m right, got my fist in thе air
And it just shows you I care
Is that okay if you can’t save me?
Listening to Perri’s music raises my hope just like what the Colombia women did in Australia yesterday. Their last 3 goals are the best goals in succession in the history of world football. There is no comparison. Each goal is a work of craftsmanship. The finesse and precision are unprecedented in both football masculine and feminine. And I’ve watched a lot of football.
That is all.
