Move Along!

"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" by All American Rejects

In high school, I was the first amongst my closest friends to get a driver's license and I didn't have a fancy shmancy MP3 player with an adaptable thingy until much later. So, to get my music fix, I had my friends make me mixed CDs named after them to have in my car. Well, it's been 5 years since then and I'm not the neatest chick on the planet...so those CDs are all over the place. And since then, I've been hooked on NPR and Praise 103.9 (man, hve times changed...). Well, yesterday my brother dug up one of my mixed CDs from my friend Mina and there's this song I forgot even existed, "Move Along" by All American Rejects.

I LOVED this song back in high school because it was fun to sing along with, I didn't think about what it meant. Well, I think it's just because of the period of my life I'm in, trying to make every moment count and meaningful, but yesterday I found myself really connecting with the message of this song and appreciating it.

"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"

What comforting words and so true! It reminded me of my relationship with Christ, how he's also prodding me to move along even when life seems dramatically horrible and lame.

Your hands are mine to hold.
I love that line! So sweet.

Okay, Go listen to it now:



(FM (more like CHAN, because I know you're the only one who reads this from FM)...you guys should consider doing this song next semester! ^_^ Hehe I would arrange it...but I don't got that kind of skill yo)
