Listen

Listen is a song that I love. It is featured on the movie Dream Girls (with Beyoncé Knowles, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, Anika Nina Rose, and Jennifer Hudson) and it absolutely describes the situation I am in. I feel like I am not being heard. That my thoughts and opinions don't matter. I feel that I have to do whatever I am told to, to live well, and that my dreams and values are just going to be stripped away. I wish people would just listen. Listen to what I have to say. The song is performed by the beautiful Beyoncé. Here are the lyrics:

Listen

To the song here in my heart

A melody I start but can't complete

Listen

To the sound from deep within

It's only beginning to find release

Oh the time has come for my dreams to be heard

They will not be pushed aside and turned I

nto your own all 'cause you won't listen

Listen

I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home in my own home

And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind

You should have known - Oh

Now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I've gotta find my own

You should have listened

There is someone here inside

Someone I thought had died so long ago

Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams will be heard

They will not be pushed aside or worse**

Into your own all 'cause you won't listen

Listen I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home in my own home

And I've tried and tried to say what's on my mind

You should have know

Oh, now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I've gotta find my own

I don't know where I belong

But I'll be moving on

If you don't, if you won't

Listen

To the song here in my heart

A melody I start

But I will complete - Oh

Now I'm done believing you

You dont know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you think you gave to me

But now I gotta find my own

My own

Here is the video.

I would also like to share with you another video by a band that I recently discovered (today actually). Jamie posted this video on myspace but I didn't pay too much attention to it. But I watched it today. It's by a band called Between The Trees and this song is about cutting and hurt and pain and depression. They are huge supporters of TWLOHA and I think they have an awesome sound and they are just AMAZING! :D Hopefully I'll be able to get some more of their music and know more about them.

that's it for today folks! :D
