118th Street. Let Me Fall...

There is so much magic in songs. We go back to songs at different times of our lives, and maybe at different moods, and a good song always offers us something - something that reflects what we feel at that exact moment. Some people say life is Mix Soundtrack; I couldn't agree more.

I have been writing about songs plenty of times now, and I feel that I haven't said enough. There're so much songs out there written by Indie songwriters. People don't know a lot about them, due the very fact that they are only known among a very tight and loyal fan base. Some singers deserve a lot more than that.

The song I'm gonna talk about this week is "Let Me Fall" by Bethany Joy Lenz. Lenz, if you guys are in the know, plays Hayley on my favorite series One Tree Hill. This song was actually played live in one of the episodes. Clearly, it shot Lenz to fame, for she was offered a recording contract right after the airing of the episode. Her album debuts this Fall. Here are the lyrics:

LET ME FALL

t's October again
Leaves are coming down
One more year's come and gone
And nothing's changed at all
Wasn't I supposed to be someone
Who can face the things that I've been running from...

Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown
Let me fall, even if I hit the ground
And if I...
Cry a little
Die a little
At least I know I lived, just a little...

I've become much too good at being invincible
I'm an expert at play it safe, and keep it cool
But I swear this isn't who I'm meant to be
I refuse to let my life roll all over me...

Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown
Let me fall, even if I hit the ground
And if I...
Cry a little
Die a little
At least I know I lived, just a little...

I wanna be somebody
I, I wanna be somebody
I wanna be somebody
I, I wanna be somebody who can face the things that I've been running from

Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown
Let me fall, even if I hit the ground
And if I
Cry a little
Die a little
At least I know I lived...

It's October again
Leaves are coming down
One more year's come and gone
And nothing's changed at all
