I often find that I discover songs that say what I need to hear.
I found another one.
Of course, it has its theme along the lines of sailing. Yes, that might be cliche seeing how I live on a ship. But actually I don't know if it is because most people don't live on a ship. But nevertheless, it's something that I can understand and relate to. When songs talk about storms and waves and anchors, I understand them, I've lived them, literally. I know what it's like in a storm, I know what it looks like to be sailing through incredibly large waves, I have how an anchor holds a ship (sometimes in places and at times when you don't want to be held).
I get it.
And that makes these songs even more meaningful.
Saints Out Of Sailors - Flannel Graph

Here in the silence I stand like a stone
The face in the mirror don't look like my own
The cards that have been dealt make me just want to fold
But I won't give you up
No I won't give you up
No I won't give you up
Cuz your anchor still holds
The wind, it's been trying to blast us to bits
And the waters' been trying to swallow this ship
My heart has been throwing the gold overboard
But I won't give you up
No I won't give you up
No I won't give you up
Cuz you are my reward
The one who makes saints out of sailors
Carries my frame on his shoulders
He makes me lie down on green pastures
And leads me beside quiet waters
And he's coming for me
Here in the darkness I see in the night
The mist and the waves try to fill me with fright
And my weary soul waits as the morning, it dawns
But I won't give you up
No I won't give you up
No I won't give you up
Cuz your light leads us on
Leads us on
The one who makes saints out of sailors
Carries my frame on his shoulders
He makes me lie down on green pastures
And leads me beside quiet waters
And he's coming for me
Oh he's coming for me
Yeah he's coming for me
He won't give me up
He won't give me up
No he won't give me up
Cuz he's loved me from old
