  5. oceans — hillsong

what do these songs say about me?

all apologies talks about how marriage will bury you, i still believe that. it’s all i’ve ever seen and felt.

pretty pimpin’ takes me back to the days of when i was experiencing life on my own and i was single, i loved it.

when you can’t sleep at night is literally a song you can listen to when you can’t sleep at night, it always helped me sleep when my heart was breaking.

bring me the horizon’s “can you feel my heart?” was and still is the anthem of my life that roars raw reality and it lets you feel as if you are the one screaming.

oceans is there for me everyday since i’ve found it. it’s deep just like the ocean; but also the meaning behind it is deep because it’s about God helping you through the storms He has called you through to your purpose and passions. You may not always feel that you should be here but this song stands as a strong reminder that you really should be.

the purpose of this writing is to bring some self care into my life and if you have the same top favorite songs as i do, please let me know and let me know how they reflect in your own life!
