Music Muse of the Day – Love Away by Capital Cities
Link with lyrics – http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/capitalcities/loveaway.html
It sounds so cliché, but the opening phrase of the song says it all:
Love, just love away
Just do it every day
Just do it every way
We get so caught in our daily stories, don’t we? Oh, and we create such amazing sad stories and pity parties and focus on the negatives in our lives and in those around us. When we forget what our primary heart Beingness is – to love – then we find ourselves in spaces of self-doubt, self-pity, and self-hate. Before long, we have been sucked under in a vortex of despair, loneliness, and sadness ignoring what is so incredibly right in our lives.
I admit that there are times when I get so caught in the What Ifs and wondering what my life would be like if there were other circumstances, that I cannot “see the forest for the trees.” But then, something snaps me back and there is that amazing forest in which the only trees that are grown are trees of love. It is then that I remember my heart Beingness purpose – to love. Nothing more, and most definitely, nothing less.
That means love for my teachers and the life lessons they bring, love for myself, love for my family, love for my friends, love for the great honor of sharing a life with the people that love me – even with those that do not love me. I just figure that if someone does not love me, they just haven’t seen my expansive beauty inside – my heart Beingness. And, quite frankly, it is their loss!
Lessons of love come in the most surprising places when we are open to receiving love. I was reminded before my daily music muse post that I do not need anyone’s approval to know and understand my own worth and value. Love Away reminds me that being open to receiving love brings belief in my Self, my world, and my heart Beingness.
Money, power, a man of means
Chasing down irrational dreams
But when you came along
I was freed of it
Throw your TV out the door
One, two, three, four, on the floor!
And if you sing a song
You’ll believe in it
Music has always been a defining factor in my life, and today is no different. Love Away reminded me of the importance of experiencing love – each and every day. Sing this song? You can’t help but believe! This would seem a natural segue way to Don’t Stop Believing by Journey – another reminder of belief in our Selves and our value. There is a joke going around my circles. “If I stop believing, will Journey be mad?” No, but you will!
If you find yourself in the middle of not believing and being caught up in your own stories of what is wrong in your life, stop already! Sing a song and believe! And then,
Love, just love away
Just do it every day
Just do it every way
