So Sunday is officially music night here on Midnighters Unite. Eventually I'd like it to be a night when I can share with you new music I find and fall in love with throughout the week, and maybe get some comments back about what you love. But since as of right now "you" is practically nobody, I'll just kinda shoot my thoughts out there into space.
When a Heart Breaks -by Ben Rector is a song I've actually known about for a while and I would definitely suggest giving it a listen. I would say I've made my share of mistakes, and not to get all Taylor Swift on y'all, but my fair share of heart ache. I don't know. Things will always work out I guess. But to be honest, this song kind of makes me cry. As much as it speaks to somebody who's gone through some pain, it makes me remember I'm not the only person in the world to ever get hurt. As much as I'd like to bawl my eyes out and wallow in my own sadness, I know I have to stand up, wipe my eyes on my sleeve, and be strong for someone else. Share my self pitty with someone else. Cry with someone else. Die inside for someone else. Because I know that's a better use of my time, and of my pain.
But I don't exactly always have people falling apart around me. And for that I am thankful. So I paint. But that's for another night.
All I'm saying is who doesn't need a good cry from time to time? And the perfect song to go along with it. But the way I see it, and in my experience, when one midnighter cries every midnighter cries with them.
