Greatest.

So I had the huge privilege of seeing Lady Gaga last Friday at the O2.

She was nothing short of amazing! 

Probably one of the best performances I have ever witnessed!

Anyway, I'd just like to share a song with you that makes me smile. This song isn't featured on any of her albums or singles. As it hasn't been released before it is still 'demo quality' (so I apologize - it's not amazing).

The song is called Greatest. I have no idea nor have I been able to find the true meaning behind the song but the reason why I have chosen to include this song in my blog is because of these lyrics:

"I don't know why you hurt inside
Or what was said to make you cry
I hope that you can see you are
The Greatest thing to me

And when, you're feeling like you're not enough

I'll give you wings; I'll lift you up

I hope that you can see you are the greatest

Greatest thing to me."


These lyrics always make me feel better on a bad day :)


As cliche as the lyrics appear, they still speak to anyone who is unhappy. Because the cause of the person's distress has not been identified.


I like this initial uncertainty portrayed by Gaga as I feel the song can provide general comfort to pretty much anyone having a bad time!  

Check out the song below!

P.S Happy Christmas Everyone!
Hope you have a good'un!


& I'll be back just after the New Year to post another story!

Leave Out All The Rest.

Just wanted to share with you another favorite song of mine.

As I went to see Linkin Park last night who were pretty amazing!

Although I'm not a fan of their new stuff...

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you one of their songs that has spoken to me on bad days and provided me with unexpected hope.

That song is Leave Out All The Rest.

I think the song is about trying to be a better person. Asking for help to be better not only for self-reassurance but also for when the time comes to leave the world, there's 'reasons to be missed.' 

The lyrics: 'I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through' are relevant to me and I wonder how many people can admit these relate to them too!

Leave out all the rest in my opinion is a term for all the negativity in the world. 

When I listen to it, I always think of it like that which tends to inspire me to be optimistic and try and make the most of life. As well as trying to be the best person I can be :)

Here's the video
& scroll down for the lyrics :)

I dreamed I was missing

You were so scared

But no one would listen

Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shed but I made

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
