 Life For Rent - Dido
click to play

Although I have realized that I have gone through tremendous positive changes in my life, during this time of contemplation, transferring old blog entries around and revisiting old thoughts, it occurs to me that many of my old revelations from the past couple of years could have been made today.  Moving ahead, yet standing still.

This thought process marks a very important revelation about my romantic choices. I continue the same ones over and over again . . . actually the same two guys . . . I moved from one to another, same type of situation yet different. The underlying theme is the same . . . the unattainable.

Maybe it is the unconscious effort, the trait of a widow, to not move on since they were both long distance relationships?

I’m haunted by the empty feeling of the
“echo in a canyon”
but isn’t that what I have chosen for myself?

The answer is yes . . . for now

Another one of life’s revelations in a song . . . my interpretation is about attitude and the way we look at life . . . as it relates to my life. Aren’t we all afraid to fail?  Although this is the first time in my life that I’ve been afraid to try . . . that is difficult to admit . . . sometimes it is easier to be alone.

Has there been a time when relationships scared you?

 Have you ever lived “Life For Rent”?

Life for Rent | Dido
LYRICS

I haven’t ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I’m not in love
But it’s not as if I mind
that your heart ain’t exactly breaking

It’s just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I’ve always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what’s happened to that dream
Cos there’s really nothing left here to stop me

It’s just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won’t let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won’t even try
Well how can I say I’m alive

 If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

The quote on my Imeem music community profile is “music is the rhythm of life” . . . it is what helps to give balance to my life. Visit Gina’s Playlists to check out thousands of songs that I have uploaded from my personal collection of music and playlists.

Many people move furniture around, having to face this way or that way to make sure they are using the correct Feng Shui method . . . that is what music has always done for me.

Dido is one of my favorite musicians . . . her songs depict the emotions of life in a way that touches my soul and thoughts, making me think about something that I can relate to in the words of a song . . . like the song I featured in this post Life For Rent.

As a huge fan of Dido, I highly recommend the following CD . . . she is an awesome entertainer!

2004 was a very busy year for Dido. The global superstar spent the first 6 months on the road with her acclaimed Life For Rent tour. The trek took Dido to 4 countries, playing close to 100 dates along the way. Now, for the first time, fans everywhere can own a piece of this amazing show and newcomers can see why more than 20 Million people own a Dido CD. Over 3 nights at the legendary UK venue, Brixton Academy, Dido s concert was filmed for this release.
