As pain overwhelms me, this song keeps returning to my head:
Oh, my God, look around this place
Your fingers reach around the bone
You set the break and set the tone
Flights of grace and future falls
In present pain, all fools say, "Oh, my God"
Oh, my God, why are we so afraid?
We make it worse when we don't bleed
There is no cure for our disease
Turn a phrase and rise again
Or fake your death and only tell
Your closest friends, oh, my God
Oh, my God, can I complain?
You take away my firm belief
And graft my soul upon your grief
Weddings, boats and alibis
All drift away and a mother cries
Liars and fools, sons and failures
Thieves will always say
Lost and found, ailing wanderers
Healers always say
Whores and angels, men with problems
Leavers always say
Broken hearted, separated
Orphans always say
War creators, racial haters
Preachers always say
Distant fathers, fallen warriors
Givers always say
Pilgrim saints, lonely widows
Users always say
Fearful mothers, watchful doubters
Saviors always say
Sometimes I can not forgive
These days mercy cuts so deep
If the world was how it should be
Maybe I could get some sleep
While I lay, I'd dream we're better
Scales were gone and faces lighter
When we wake, we hate our brother
We still move to hurt each other
Sometimes I can close my eyes
And all the fear that keeps me silent
Falls below my heavy breathing
What makes me so badly bent?
We all have a chance to murder
We all have the need for wonder
We still want to be reminded
That the pain is worth the plunder
Sometimes when I lose my grip
I wonder what to make of Heaven
All the times I thought to reach up
All the times I had to give up
Babies underneath their beds
Hospitals that cannot treat them
All the wounds that money causes
All the comforts of cathedrals
All the cries of thirsty children
This is our inheritance
All the rage of watching mothers
This is our greatest offense
Oh, my God
Oh, my God
Oh, my God
Oh, to find you in dreams - mixing prior, analog, and never-beens... facts slip and turn and change with little lucidity. except the strong, permeating reality of emotion.
David Guetta ft. Sia -The Whisperer
I was standing on the edge
I'd long for a new beginning
But I couldn't look down, but I couldn't look down
I'm a coward
A million voices screamed in my head
And I felt sure that I would give in
So why couldn't I now? Why couldn't I now?
Your voice was louder
By design God gave me feelings
And by design they shall not kill
But when the noises overwhelm me
I feel sure that they will
Oh, liberation, comes in whatever form to save me
I am burdened, and then the whisper comes
You whisper in the breeze
Whispers that I'm needing
Quiet words, soothe the hurt, whisperer
And though I struggle through the days now
It helps to know that you are listening
So I just wait it out
I'll wait this out, by the hour
By design God gave me feelings
And by design they shall not kill
But when the noises overwhelm me
I feel sure that they will
Oh, liberation, comes in whatever form to save me
I am burdened, and then the whisper comes
You whisper in the breeze
Whispers that I'm needing
Quiet words, soothe the hurt, whisperer

Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

Hello!
I've been hobbit-holed in my studio all week looping stuff. Like this. Thought you'd all enjoy.
I don't loop quite that well, nor do I have the drum loops yet, but I'm ambitious and hopeful
And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you?- Matthew 6:30

What do you think about Coldplay?
And I'm not even a fan of Coldplay! I don't know what happened. Maybe I'll start to be.
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach, so
She ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

I can always imagine an IEE singing the songs of Marie Hines
"We've wanted to be trusty and true
But feathers fell from our wings
And we've wanted to be worthy of you
But weather rained on our dreams
"And we can't take back
What is done, what is past
So fellas, lay down your fears
'Cause we can't take back
What is done, what is past
So let us start from here...
"'Cause we never wanted to be lusty or lewd
Nor tethered to prudish strings
And we never wanted to be jealously tuned
Nor withered into ugly things
"But we can't take back
What is done, what is past
So fellas, lay down your spears
'Cause we can't take back
What is done, what is past
So let us start from here…
"And if all that you are
Is not all you desire,
Then, come…
"Come, let yourself be wrong
Come, it's already begun
"Come, come alone
Come with fear, come with love
Come however you are
Just come, come alone
Come with friends, come with foes
Come however you are
Just come, come alone
Come with me, then let go
Come however you are
Just come, come alone
Come so carefully closed
Come however you are
Just come…
"Come, come along
Come with sorrows and songs
Come however you are
Just come, come along
Come, let yourself be wrong
Come however you are
Just come…"

A huge piece of relational connection for me is accepting one another in our honest brokenness and failings. Love the other AND, just as importantly, allow ourselves to be loved.
I tell myself this doesn't mean to say what's bad is good or to have lax boundaries or to not put effort into repairs, because our mistaken choices (or non-choices) do cause harm. I hurt myself and you when I act out of fear, laziness, etc. or even plain weariness.
Good and bad, here you are, here I am. We want what's good and we don't always live in ways that bring it. That's how I am, anyway. And I see it in lots of others. This goal I have for us is to not always hide, to keep showing up - come and be loved. Find the healing and growth in vulnerability.
Because regardless of the good and bad in you in me, the strength and the weakness, you and I are lovable. And loved by a great Love.
...but, gosh, it takes courage... baby steps, baby steps...

Something you don't know.
Now you know.

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you made me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
If you liked it, maybe you should check this one, it is kind of similar.

This song is too gay and cringe-worthy and makes worldly str8 bar ppl puke. That's of course why I like it so much:
In my head all day.
I hope this works as I intend. I just found this piece to be, well, intriguing.

Make things right? Who are we to decide when things are right and when they need to be fixed?
Hey you, out there in the coldGetting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
Hey you out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high
As you can see
No matter how he tried
He could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you, out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall
