Seeing things we did not see before....
So I'm a little philosophical on this rainy day....
A few months ago when I was scared to death because Poh had a lapse a song came on the radio that I hadn't heard in forever and it smacked me right between the eyes. I've always been a big fan of Phil Collins and Genesis and this one might be their best work - musically it's a bear to pull off but the lyrics can be taken a few different ways. ..some verses strike me as the sort of conversations we have with ourselves and others the things we say to our loved one when the rollercoaster is doing loops.... or is it all self-talk?
I'll let you form your own interpretation but I think there's something for everyone here in this one:
Takin it All Too Hard:
Taking It All Too Hard Lyrics- Genesis Feat Phil Collins - YouTube
No not this confused again
No not the same mistakes again.
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
Why can't you see what's going on?
I know you'd never admit
You would ever be to blame
Everything's a game to you
The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
I cannot help you, it's much too late
Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again.
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
There's always a reason why it happened
You never never did anything wrong, but it
It just seemed to fall apart
But you're taking it all too hard
Now that it's dark, all of your fears,
Like shadows creeping around.
You're much too scared to look down
And it's lonely out on your own
The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
But I still miss you
I keep it to myself
Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistake again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
Oh no not this confused again
No no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
