Move Along by All-American Rejects. It's a ridiculously awesome song. I know it's an older song but no matter how many times I hear it it just burns straight to my heart.
o ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone sins
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along
So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]
(Move along)
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along
You can see that it talks about when your down in the dumps, your whole life is falling apart, or when you just don't know what to do with your life, to just go and do. Even if you don't know why just get out and live your life, eventually you'll make it through and you'll find purpose again. This really gets me because I have totally had time when I am just not motivated because my plans fell through and I don't know where to move next with my life. I'll feel like I only want to curl up in a blanket eating ice cream, and watch Hulu all day. This song just always pumps you up and makes you're life feel more like you're only in a sad part of a movie. It makes you feel like although you're life sucks now, if you just keep going, there's gonna be an awesome happy ending. I once even told my roommate "I wish I had a girlfriend, then I could break up with her and listen to sad music." Again, it makes you'r sad times a lot more enjoyable.
This song makes me think of Middle school and that is not really good. I was not a fan of that awkward stage of life but I am glad it is over. Move Along is a good song though. Life throws some pretty tough stuff at us but we can't let it get to us.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I doubt you would want to break up with a girl so you could listen to sad music, that just would make matters worse. haha
I LOVE this song!! Yes, it is true that it is kind of an old song, but still its a great one! Haha and I also don't think that it's worth it to get a girlfriend to break up with her so you can listen to this song. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't really be sad if you were getting a girlfriend for the purpose of breaking up with her...haha. But great song! Definitely a good "get over you" song.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of songs about moving on; what is it about this song in particular that you like so much? Anything specific about the lyrics? The melody? Do you remember the first time you heard it?
ReplyDeleteI also do not advise breaking up with a girl just to listen to sad music. :)
I love this song as well! The lyrics are inspirational as you experience a dreary day and need to hear some one say that you just need to keep moving forward. I like how they put a great message with an awesome tune. This song also reminds me of middle school (which I hated as well.)
