Not as we.

I have a new song favorite titled “Not as We” by Alanis Morisette and I first heard it from the third episode of House, MD Season 4. Personally I think that Alanis’ music is great and this particular song is fantastic. The song captivated me the moment I've heard it. It has a melancholic feel which I thought goes with my character. Except that the lyrics has a sense of inspiration, confidence, and strength which I like the most -- at least the chorus. *wink

After hearing it completely I initially thought of her emerging from a break-up. Until I read the lyrics to which I contemplated solemnly. There’s more connote to it rather than breaking-up. Let’s admit that there are times in our life where we preoccupy ourselves as to what might other people think of. The next thing we know is instead of us leading our lives we’ve let them overcome us. It might hurt us in the end which makes it even harder to carry on.

There are moments in my life that I spent reassessing myself. As of this instance, this song very much describes my life. I really don’t know what to expect in the future. Yet I am aware that now I'm responsible enough to start thinking for myself. To take risks and to be not afraid of the consequences and to be better by making the right choices. It might lead me to stumble at times but I need to move on and carry on the lesson. 

Parang ang dali lang namang sabihin ano? Pero ganyan naman talaga ang buhay, it's a cycle. It's not always gloomy. Sabi nga ng isang kanta there's a rainbow always after the rain. Wala naman yatang connection? Haha. But I just want to say gusto ko lang talaga ang kanta. [Laughs]

Even though the song appears to be sad, I hope that you’ll enjoy nonetheless. Watch the video here. ♥
