Earworms - 9th-11th August 2023

There's something beautiful inside my head...

Sometimes songs you know end up playing over and over in your head, often times just certain lines or just the chorus. These are called "earworms". This week, my main earworm has been the wonderful "Something Beautiful" by Tracy Bonham (you know, the woman who that did the song "Mother, Mother" back in the 90s).  I'd like to share it with you, if you don't mind. ;-)

Although I am not well versed on Tracy Bonham by any means, I'm wondering if it's about time I immersed myself. This song keeps playing for whatever reasons it does, and I can't say I am sad about it. I absolutely love this song! It's heartbreaking and gorgeous, and I wish more people knew it.(It makes me cry, honestly.) It really is, for a lack of better word, beautiful.

from the album Blink The Brightest (Zoë/Rounder, 2005)

Lyrics

written by Tracy Bonham, Marc Copely, Greg Wells

Light weight too straight no reaction

I don't care if I'm not in fashion

I will follow you I will follow you

It's hearts up heads down puddle of red wine

You get back up and you face the climb

I will follow you

Something in me almost breaks

But I wait

(I'm sinking in my skin)

And I wait

(My heart is wearing thin)

'Cause I'm looking for

Something beautiful

You cut me up and you make me bleed

A sad stained heart hanging on my sleeve

I'll still follow you

I will follow you

But you say

?look up look up look all around you

Can't you see the love that surrounds

the very soul of you?

Something in me almost breaks

But I wait

(I'm sinking in my skin)

And I wait

(My heart is wearing thin)

'Cause I'm looking for

Something beautiful

And I pray

(For it to come right in)

There'll come a day

(My heart is wearing thin)

That I fall upon

Something beautiful

Something meaningful

You stick your soul out risk it all

Your fearless beauty breaks your fall

Something in me

Knows there's something more

And it's so close I wanna run

But I wait

(I'm sinking in my skin)

Yeah I wait

(My heart is wearing thin)

'Cause I'm looking for

Something beautiful

And I pray

(For it to come right in)

There'll come a day

(My heart is wearing thin)

When I fall upon

Something beautiful

Something beautiful

Something meaningful

I hope you liked it. Maybe as much as I do. <3
