Whatever season I’m in, if I’m going through (bad or good), that is what you will hear me singing about – I will never put on a facade or pretend to the world that my life is perfect…Since I was a child, I’ve always tried my best to be as authentically myself as possible; it’s like I don’t know any other way to be.
As each day goes by… and if I feel a little stagnant and need a boost – it becomes ‘Perri hour‘. Now is that time. There are balladists then there is Christina Perri. This is the tenth song to appear here from Perri. I always feel grateful to present a song from her. I was just writing to a friend that Perri’s Time of Our Lives is about the best song I’ve ever heard and has just 34k views. I think that one is one of the best executed, written and constructed songs (produced) in all of music. I’m sure that won’t be known for decades. Sometimes, that’s how things go. There is no information about today’s song. As Perri said, “It’s not that I’ve recovered, it’s that I’m recovering…”
When I first heard Give Me Love I didn’t like it much. But after more listens I like it little by little more. She is like a magician. The same thing happened with Perri’s A Thousand Years. I didn’t like it in the beginning and my daughter Katherine said she loved that song. So, I returned to it and now I’m in complete awe.
Give me love like her
‘Cause lately I’ve been waking up alone
Pain splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I’d let them go
And I’ll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I’ll call ya
After my blood turns into alcohol
No I just wanna hold ya
Give a little time to me, we’ll burn this out
We’ll play hide and seek, to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
“Some of the things I’ve experienced in my life could have made me very dark, and very closed off from the rest of the world...But I’ve made the decision to look towards the light and be a better version of myself, in spite of feeling massive amounts of pain.”
