I was in a tough place. My heart longed to have a baby. It hurt.
Since then, my perspective has changed. I can't wait to have a baby in my arms. All thanks to God, my heart doesn't hurt for it anymore. There is hope. Grace. Peace.
Here is the Arcade Fire version of the song, live from Bonnaroo 2011:
I love...
...this song.
It reminds me that even though negative feelings can sometime creep in, you keep your faith and keep on moving, keep on hoping, keep on living.
"Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm moving past the feeling."
Like I mentioned before, I really love the part where it is sung,
"So can you understand, why I want a daughter while I'm still young? I want to hold her hand and show her some beauty before this damage is done. But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask, then send me a son."
These lyrics light such a fire in my heart.
I want a daughter while I'm still young!!!
...and of course, I would be more than happy with a son. I've played this song over and over since it came out last year. I teared up when I heard it live at ACL (Austin City Limits music festival).
Feelings of growing up and of my childhood are stirred all at the same time.
So, there you go. My encore post of The Suburbs, this time with words.
Now, let's listen to that song again, -Natalie
