Many of my Monday posts have been about the music I listen to while at Coffea for my Monday-Coffee-Date-With-My-Mom. Well, this week "Running to Stand Still" by U2 has been playing on repeat for several hours. And for good reason. It is absolutely beautiful.
So as I prepare for this week which includes writing a 25-page paper for my Art History class, I realize I probably wont get a whole lot of blogging in. Or I shouldn't, anyway.
Thus, I will leave you with this song until I can take a breath again. U2 creates phenomenal music that is actually music and this is one of my new faves.
The title of the song even seems appropriate for the next and last three weeks of the semester.
Running to Stand Still
And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're going
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha, ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la de day
Sweet the sin
Bitter taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice
You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing...ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day
Ha la la de day
She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will...
Suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand...
Still.
