Haven't been around much lately. Anyway, this song struck a chord within.
Daniel Powter - Best Of Me
I was made the wrong way
won't you do me the right way
where you gonna be tonight
'cause I won't stay too long
maybe you're the light for me when you talk to me it strikes me won't somebody help me 'cause I don't feel too strong Was it something that I said
was it something that I did
or the combination of both that did me wrong
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
Though it's not your favorite song
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left to say
you know that some of us spin again
when you do, you need a friend
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left for me
and I hate the thought of finally being erased
baby that's the best of me
Everything's behind you but the hope still stands beside you living in every moment have I wasted all your time Was there something that I said
was there something that I did
or the combination I broke that did me have
You know I'm hoping you'll sing along
though it's not your favorite song
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left to say
you know that some of us spin again
when you do, you need a friend
don't wanna be there when there's nothing left for me
and I hate the thought of finally being erased
baby that's the best of me
baby that's the best of me
God knows what made him wrote this song. His music has a certain appeal to the mass market. My other favorite is "Bad Day". There is quite a story behind this song. He wrote Bad Day after a two-year stint in rehab trying to get over a six-year cocaine addiction. The fame got the better of him and pushed him off the wagon. He resorted to alcohol and drug as a form of escape.
Such a simple song yet people are able to relate to this song. Traveling on the train from work, we thought of the bad day at work. Walking on the street and the thought of what we have gone through. It was a bad day. It was comforting to know that someone somewhere understands what we have gone through and are going through. Somehow, we are not alone. That is truly comforting.
