Come to my senses! Part 1 of 5!

So this week (I know it's Tuesday) I want to try something I've seen on one of my 'blog prompt' lists. For the next 5 posts I'm going to base them on the five senses. So something about seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and touching.

Tonight will be the sense of sound. I love the sound of wind in the trees, and love nothing more than going to bed whilst it's raining. It just makes my bed seem extra cosy. I can not stand the sound of people eating, crunching,  slurping, in some cases breathing (not because I don't like them but because their nose whistles or something!!) They all just make me so angry, I'm sure there's an actual word for this? I'm always moaning at Craig for sniffing or something silly, he finds it really funny to purposely annoy me! Oh and teeth grinding makes me want to be sick! I used to work with a child who would repeatedly grind his teeth and I'd have to hum to myself or actually pant through it to distract myself, I can't bare it!!


As I've said before music sticks to me. It grabs me and I drink in the lyrics. I love it when a song gets you right in the heart and speaks to you almost. I've recently rediscovered this song.  Nickleback - you're never going to be alone This song has done that.
 I used to listen to Nickleback all the time. I absolutely love his voice. How it's gravelly and manly, yet soft and beautiful at the same time. I was looking through our CDs in the car and stumbled across the Nickleback dark horse album. I forgot how much I loved this. I can't believe it's been abandoned in the glove box for this long. Outrageous! What a find!

 I popped it in and skipped along till I found the familiar chords and the lyrics "Time, is going by so much faster than I, and I'm starting to regret not spending it all with you". I instantly remembered it, like an old friend or an old smell that makes you warm and fuzzy inside.
I've listened to this song over and over. Craig too. Some of my favourite lyrics in the song are ;

You're never going to be alone, from this moment on

This makes me think of when I first met Craig, when each of my boys were conceived and born, and daydream about one day, when we can gather up enough pennies and I can finally become a Mrs. I would love for this to be our first dance song. Whitney Houston I will always love you just doesn't sit right with us!

When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on. We're going to take the world on

This one's the throat grabber!  This makes me think of our struggle to have our third child, especially as we named our first ever miscarriage hope. But also the fight we both have still in us. We are indeed going to take the world on. Maybe I'll have that as a tattoo? But also how beautiful would it be to be dancing together as husband and wife, with our three children there watching us, and knowing we did take it on,  and won!

He also sings about being there always, and to make the most of every day. This is something I'm trying to remember every day myself. To make the most of every single one and to go to bed thinking today I've done my best and if not, I'll do better tomorrow.

Another one of my favourites on this album is I'd come for you. Another 'love ' song, I don't really go for the normal hearts and flowers stuff... Minus ed Sheeran thinking out loud, that is beautiful. Craig brought me the lyrics for our bedroom wall for Christmas last year!

It's a little different though, it's more about a man who desperatly loves his woman and would do anything for her, if she told him to. Few of my favourite parts:

My souls inside out

Is how he describes feeling being without her, which is a pretty accurate description of how I think I'd feel without Craig. Plus it really shows how he feels about her without too much normal mush.


This, this is the biggie..

I finally know just what it means to let someone in, to see the side of me that no one does or ever will, if you're ever lost and find yourself all alone I'd search forever just to bring you home here and now, this I vow

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Anyways, I'm off to download the entirety of Nickleback's albums on Spotify!!
