Life goes on

Lately I find myself saying, "life goes on," on a fairly regular basis.

Over the past six months or so, I've done my best not to hang on to things the way I used to in the past. Things in life come and go. That's a fact we all need to accept. I used to struggle with letting things go but do my best to roll with the punches more these days.

I stumbled upon this song today by Noah and the Whale and felt like it really fit with this whole sentiment.



L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. by Noah and the Whale
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips
She's got deep brown eyes
That've seen it all
Working at a night club
That was called The Avenue
The bar men used to call her, "Little Lisa Looney Tunes"
She went down on almost anyone
From the hard time living
'Til the Chelsea days
From when her hair was sweet blonde
'Til the day it turned grey
She said:
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
Some people wear their history
Like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist
Just living out of case
But his best word was his letters home
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal
From the hard time living
To the sleepless nights
And the black and blue body
From the weekend fights
He'd say:
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
On my last night on earth
I won't look to the sky
Just breathe in the air
And blink in the light
On my last night on earth
I'll pay a high price
To have no regrets
And be done with my life
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
