Week 7

I forgot to post last time everyone posted song lyrics so I'm glad I get a second chance because I thought it was a great idea. I don't love music. I FREAKING LOVE MUSIC! Specifically love songs. I'm a sucker for slow hits after midnight, especially songs that aren't super well known. The song I chose is one of those, it's called Try by Asher Book, it's from the movie "Fame" but I've never seen it. Because I don't know the context in which the song appears in the movie it's allowed me to make my own connections to it and think about what the lyrics mean to me personally.

TRY
Asher Book

If I walk would you run
If I stop would you come
If I say you’re the one would you believe me
If I ask you to stay would you show me the way
Tell me what to say so you don’t leave me
The world is catching up to you
while your running away to chase your dream
Its time for us to make a move cause we are asking one another to change
and maybe im not ready

CHORUS
but I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
we’ve been hiding enough

if I sing you a song would you sing along
or wait till im gone , oh how we push and pull
if I give you my heart would you just play the part
or tell me it’s the start of something beautiful
am I catching up to you
while your running away , to chase your dreams
its time for us to face the truth cause we are coming to each other to change
and maybe im not ready

CHORUS
but I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
we’ve been hiding enough

I will try for your love
I can hide up above

If I walk would you run
If I stop would you come
If I say you’re the one would you believe me


This is one of my top 3 favorite songs of all time. I heard it for the first time about 3 months ago and have listened to it a few times a day since then without fail. The words have meant different things to me at different times and I've spent hours in the car by myself trying to figure out the meaning of the lyrics. My conclusion is that this song is about that moment when you know you love someone and you don't know what they're going to do with that information or with your heart.If you're lucky, feelings will be reciprocated and they'll tell you "it's the start of something beautiful." There's always the risk though that they will "Just play the part." Worst case scenario, they'll run away to chase other dreams. Regardless of what happens though, that moment is always uncomfortable if you don't know what's going on in someone else's head. I think we've all been there, if you haven't then someday you probably will be. This song explains why it can be so hard. People aren't always ready, being on the same page is rare in new relationships where youre "asking one another to change." Sometimes is pays off and sometimes it doesn't. This song takes into account that it could go either way. In those situations all you can do is...Try. :)
