I, I’m a new
day rising
I’m a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight
But I, I’m a little divided
Do I stay or run away and leave it all behind?
Hello and welcome to the Building A Memory. Here we care about music and their memories. Today I want to bring a song that was part of my teenage years and, this band’s influence in my life, is mostly because of my older brother, Matheus.
The Foo Fighters is a rock band that started, firstly, as a solo project by Nirvana’s former drummer and co-founder, Dave Grohl, not so long after Kurt Cobain’s body was found inside his home in Seattle. The first idea was to create a different picture from his former band and show the world what he could do. Well… for the self-titled album which was released in 1995, there’s a single person for every instrument, and now in 2021, the group formed by Rami Jaffee, Chris Shiflett, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear and, of course, Dave Grohl, have just released a new album: Medicine at Midnight.
But not everything was okay for the band. In 2002 the band almost ended for good (or bad, in this case), while they were having some internal affairs. This song was written even without knowing if they would come back. Time is clear for us: it’s the fourth track in the album “One By One”, a report on Dave Grohl’s feelings about missing the band, and a great message to everyone.
I, I’m a new
day rising
I’m a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight
But I, I’m a little divided
Do I stay or run away and leave it all behind?
Every day we wake up it’s a new day. A day we don’t know if it’ll work or not. We can make the best to be a perfect day. The plans, the schedules, the dreams… everything is aligned, but you aren’t sure if that’s what you really want for life.
What can surprise you? Are you happy with what you’ve got in your hands right now?
Sometimes I’ve got this feeling of leaving everything behind and start something brand new, even loving what I’ve been doing for the last decade and where I’ve been living. I really don’t know what is going on my mind, but there’s a calling which may help.
It's times
like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
Every day is a different fight. Every day is a chance to learn new things. If you don’t grasp what is coming to you, there are low chances of experiencing the best life has to offer. It’s a process of learning, giving, and loving.
Last week, the principal in the school I teach, professor Lylcoln Carneiro, passed away. In the chats we sometimes had, he mentioned about living again, enjoying time, and learning new things. He surely grasped what was in his hands, a graduated in Engineering taking care of a school, who was always learning new things and motivating his employees and teaching staff to do the same. There was always a smile on his face, and he was always saying “good morning, teacher” to everyone he saw walking the halls.
Time is in your hands. You never know when it’ll slip through your fingers. Stop it now and say “I love you” for those near you. Learn to forgive. Learn to live together. If you’ve got the chance to reinvent yourself, do it. Sometimes there will be “times like these”, sometimes there won’t.
