I realize that I'm three years late to the party, but I heard this song yesterday and was immediately inspired to promote it!
Live Your Life is a song by Malaysian Singer Yuna. Produced by renowned producer, Pharrell Williams, Live Your Life is Yuna’s first single from her self-titled album Yuna.
Unfortunately, yesterday was the anniversary of my brother's death. This song was an immediate and much-needed pick-me-up. This time of the year is always extremely difficult to deal with, as it is full of holidays and other siblings’ birthdays, which all serve as devastating reminders that one of us isn’t here anymore.
This, in turn, leads to a worsening of my depression and PTSD symptoms, leading me into a “rut” for the last few months of the year. Regardless of their exact triggers, I know many people can relate to this (whether they admit it or not), so I want to send this song to them in particular.
I find this song beautiful in its simplicity and incredibly inspirational. I hope it helps you get through whatever difficulties you may be going through.
Lyrics:
Find your light
Don't hide from who you are
And rise before you fall
In hope for something more
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Don't hide from who you are
And rise before you fall
In hope for something more
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
All my life
I've been looking for something amazing
It's almost like I've been stargazing
The sky is right above me
I've been looking for something amazing
It's almost like I've been stargazing
The sky is right above me
We
Were meant for something bigger than this
Don't ever try to dismiss
Yourself, cause you don't have to
Were meant for something bigger than this
Don't ever try to dismiss
Yourself, cause you don't have to
Find your light
Don't hide from what you are
And rise before you fall
In hope for something more
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Don't hide from what you are
And rise before you fall
In hope for something more
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
All my life
My dreams just seem so far away
And now it's like
They're here to stay
I hold it close to me
My dreams just seem so far away
And now it's like
They're here to stay
I hold it close to me
Oh
We
Were meant for something bigger than this
Don't ever try to dismiss
Yourself, cause you don't have to
Were meant for something bigger than this
Don't ever try to dismiss
Yourself, cause you don't have to
Find your light
Don't hide from who you are
And rise before you fall
In hope for something more
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Don't hide from who you are
And rise before you fall
In hope for something more
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Find your light
Don't hide from who you are
And rise before you fall
In hope for something more
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Don't hide from who you are
And rise before you fall
In hope for something more
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
Live if you really want to
The best parties aren't advertised so we're all often late for the party. Thanks for the invite. The mood is nice here.
