The soundtrack to my life at the moment continues to be any song by the fantastic British band Keane and this track is just beautiful...
Every time he sings the part:
"God I wish you could see me now, you'd pick me up and you'd sort me out."
I instantly think of my Mum and the tears arrive (regular readers of my blog will know that she was an extremely strong woman and an extremely loving Mother who helped me through many truly difficult times in my life, supported me unconditionally and gave me strength to get through everything. She passed away shortly after I came to live in Brasil)
because I know that she would "pick me up and sort me out" with just a few words of advice, her wisdom and her love.
So on a day when I feel so, so low, am wishing that my Mum was here and I am thinking "God I wish you could see me now" I wanted to post this beautiful song and music video: "Try Again" by Keane.
There's no words that could describe it, or do it justice, as it is so, so beautiful.... so enjoy!

Try Again
I fell asleep on a late night train
I missed my stop and I went round again
Why would I wanna see you now?
To fix it up, make it up somehow
Baby I'll try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time
What I was isn't what I am
I'd change back but I don't know if I can
Still I'll try, try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time
But I was made the way I am
I'm not a stone; I'm just a man
Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine
Reap back the time that we've been wasting
God I wish you could see me now
You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out
Baby I'll try again, try again
Baby I die every night, every time

Oh Donnie, what an amazing track. I love Keane - they touch on deep feelings so well with their brilliant lyrics and music. Are you going to try again? Do you both want to? Oh how truly sad I feel for the pain you must be experiencing and I know what you mean about having your mum there for the truly tough times. I wish I could take your pain from you to give you a break.
Time is a healer but it's a nightmare plughing your way through every second until the pain subsies. Hugs sweetie. X
Hi MOB,
Thank you so much for your lovely words and support dear friend! It was wonderful waking up and seeing your message here.
No we're not going to try again, things are too far gone for that :(
The "Try Again" for me in the song feels like the need to move on and try again with life and love, to not lose the hope that love still exists within a future person.
I am going on a holiday to Rio alone tomorrow... I feel the need to run away from all the stress, be alone near the beach and have time to think about everything I need to do now without all the distractions of everyday jobs like house cleaning, washing clothes, and taking care of my dogs.
I just wish it could all be over soon and that I can finally move on, but the financial side of it makes all that much easier said than done, it's like a torture.
Thank you so much once again MOB!
And I'll speak to you soon!
Big Hugs! XXX
i love keane's sound. i can totally see your situation in this song. *sigh* i see that you're going to rio. that should be a nice break and give you some time to really sort things out. did you get my last email? remember when i found your email in my thyroid folder? i had found like two or three other personal emails people sent me in there :-/ they must have thought i flaked considering they were sent MONTHS ago! LOL let me know how you are when you get a chance.

I'm so outdated with pop! Call me oldfashioned. But I do want to say one thing - I think the photo of you on your side bar is gorgeous.

Hi ciara,
Thanks! I have already replied quickly to your e-mail but I will write a better one when I return!
Yes I'm off to Rio in about 2 hours and won't have internet there, although I will pop into a cybercafe from time to time to check my e-mails...
Talk to you when I get back and thanks for all your wonderful support!
Big Hugs!! XX
Hi CJ,
Haha thanks! *he says; blushing*
talk to you soon!
Big Hugs! XX
Donnie....She's with you all the time...and I bet she LOVES this song, too!! xoxoxoxox
Sorry you're feeling low. I hope that the break in Rio will help. Be careful!- it's easy to get real lonley in a happy crowd...
Think the poem I posted today was on your wavelength... Have a good holiday, and take with you a few Napple hugs for when the need arises! x
I think that music can bring back so many memories and remind you of so many people.
You obviously miss your mum very much as I miss mine.
There's no answer to it really...... it does get better though.
Thank you everyone for your wonderful messages of support and hope! I'm back to being around again... not so much as I have so many things to do and so many decisions to make, but I do feel better... like a sudden energy and light has washed over me, happy and looking forward to moving on to the next phase of my life... or maybe it's just another life, one more of many that I have already lived through...
Thank you all!
Huge Hugs! XXX
The best British band since Suede! Everybody's Changing is so poignant for me. This is the first time I've saw this track live. Oh, for the chance to get to see them!
