Day #18 "Rarely Listened to Song You Love"


This is day #18 of the 25 day, 25 song challenge...

  • Day 18 (11/24/14): Song That Love but Rarely Listen to:

The song that I love but rarely listen to would be this song by PFR called "Here in the Middle". I rarely listen to it because I don't have it anymore on my computer or phone. The CD is probably long gone. I really love the song. The the part of the chorus that goes "I make it so hard when it could be so simple..." Really hits home and makes me think of every time I over-think and over complicate things. "Help me love me for some better reason, learn to take myself in all of my seasons" also resonates incredibly. Took a lot of counseling to get to that point and more to keep me there, but the point is to be able to be able to "put up" with myself or how could I expect others to. I really is a great song,that I would link to but it's not available. Here are the lyrics though:

"In The Middle" Lyrics

by PFR | from the album The Bookhouse Recordings

For so long I had the same dream,
I'm running like a man possessed: breathless and scared to death,
Then, last night, I swear I heard a voice whisper in the dark,
And it spoke right into my heart, saying...
Don't you know that you're one of the sweetest songs I've ever sung?

Just try to find a little peace in the middle,
You make it hard when it could be so simple,
Love yourself for some better reasons, and learn to take yourself with all of your seasons.

Oh, oh.

There's hope in the mystery, 
In loving all I'm not, surrendered to the thought,
I'll find comfort in my own skin, 
Accepted as I am: broken and blessed man,
Tell me again that I'm one of the sweetest songs you've ever sung.

Help me to find a little peace in the middle,
I make it so hard when it could be so simple,
Help me love me for some better reasons,
Learn to take myself with all of my seasons.

Help me to find a little peace in the middle,
I make it so hard when it could be so simple,
Help me love myself for all the right reasons, and learn to take myself with all of my seasons,
Everybody needs some peace in the middle, 'cause life gets hard when we could all use a little,
Learn to love ourselves for all the right reasons, and learn to take this life in all of it's seasons.

In the middle,
In the middle,
I'm here in the middle,
In the middle
