Songs that pull at your heartstrings: The A-Team
Hey guys!
So I've decided to start a new feature: "Songs that pull at your heartstrings"
And happily, the first song of this series is: "The A-Team"
Now this song is something that doesn't just pull my heartstrings, it rips them off in a craze of frenzy feels.
Ed Sheeran was inspired to write this song when he visited a shelter for recovering drug addicts and met people that were on drugs classified as "Class - A."
Now, my feels on this song are going to be ripped open in a blazing fire, so stand back if you can't handle messed-up-girl feels, because they're going to come cascading down upon you.
When the song starts, it plays a soft guitar strum that made me love the song the first time I heard it. The way he softly sings it and the repentant, bubbling anger that he sings with really hurts me. I love listening to this song because the words are so pure, so symbolic. Think about this: a drug addict, whose entire life was about corruption, wasting and impurities. But when she dies, she dies covered in white, her death giving her the final purity of an angel.
That's what grief looks like.
In some ways, it's somewhat beautiful. Grief has its own withering, mad grace that no one understand, but everyone worships and loves.
Heartstrings pulled and stretched,
FeatherPaw.
“She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated
It is a really good song :)
ReplyDeleteI KNOWWWW OH MY GAWD THE FEELS
DeleteHow to Save a Life is also really good and was inspired after the lead singer went to a drug rehab camp as a counselor and talked to one of the teenagers in there
ReplyDeleteI know, I love that song. If I ever want to end up in a waterfall of feels, I listen to that song.
DeleteI didn't know he went as a counselor, that's amazing. They have another song called "You Found Me" that's about a similar subject(if you call depression similar).
