My Immortal

For a long time, my housemate would play Evanescence’s “My Immortal” till the melody became a “worm in my head.” I never realised how beautiful and deep the lyrics were till I heard it playing as part of the movie “Daredevil” which I caught on TV three days ago.

Here are two YouTube uploads of the song.

Evanescene’s original version

The acoustic live performance

Having lost several loved ones through death and a number through breakdowns in the relationships, the song evoked feelings and memories of…

• the pain of loss relationships
• the reality that no relationship is ever really forever (in this life)

The fear and paranoia of losing someone can be the very thing that precipitates the losing. What do I do with the hidden fears that surface? 

Today I chose to:

DANCE as though no one is watching me…
LOVE as though I have never been hurt before…
SING as though no one can hear me…
LIVE as though heaven is on earth…
