Fireflight
"Forever"

This song came on my pandora a moment ago and threw me for a loop.

I used to be very religious. Then I went through some things in my life....I prayed and prayed and prayed...During this time, I listened to Fireflight a lot. A Christian rock band. Oddly enough, this is the song I was listening to when I lost my religion. I lost my ability to believe. I most my blind faith.

I would sing this song over and over...like a prayer. Show me you're here, that you will watch over me. Take hold of my heart....I would sing it and sing it, until I was crying it...screaming it...

Listening to this song now has an odd effect on me, all these years later. Part of me loves the song. It's well written, sang beautifully...just leaves a powerful emotion in you while it's playing. However, it also pisses me off a bit. It kind of takes me back to that lost, helpless girl who needed someone, needed help, needed advice, a guide....but she was all alone. So alone. And found herself even more alone along the way afterward. Part of me wonders how the band would feel knowing their song played a role in a girl losing her religion. Fail. I don't actually blame them or anything. It was more than just a song. It's just.....you don't forget the son playing during a pivotal moment in your life like that.
