I really, REALLY want to share with you my acoustic version of one of my favorite songs ❤️
Music is such a powerful anchor. We all have songs that remind us of moments, people, places, smells, tastes, something. Songs that just by hearing them lift our energy through the roof. And of course, songs that can literally make us feel like crap the moment they play.
The Scientist by Coldplay is one of those songs that has accompanied me through many stages of my life. And I always get hyped up with it. I think it’s super beautiful, and every time I listen to it, it moves me deeply. It’s a very positive anchor 🎵
But of course, right now I’m not just listening, I’m playing 🎸 and singing 🎤 it, and as you can imagine it makes me incredibly happy. Infinitely happy ❤️
And you know what? Until a month ago, I wasn’t able to sing it without struggling with those damn high notes. Well, in this case still a bit, because if I pushed hard I could sing it but the next day I’d be half-voiceless. But hundreds of other songs I can now sing, before I literally couldn’t and my voice just didn’t reach.
And that’s why I’m so happy, because with effort and determination, anything is possible in life. Even singing the songs you love the most and truly enjoying them, yes. For me, The Scientist is more than just an example of this; it’s much more than the positive anchor I had with this song all these years. It’s a reinforced anchor. An anchor of overcoming, and every time I hear it and play it, it will remind me that (no matter what anyone says) in this world, I will go as far as I want to go ☺️
PS: How can singing a simple song make someone so, so happy? I could spend whole afternoons playing it over and over.. 🙈❤️
