OMG! What is it with
this year??? Everyone's albums are just
pure gold! Jessie J's album just came out yesterday in the UK, and I was
fortunate enough to be
given a copy (partly because I have good connects in London, but also because I am a
slightly crazed fan) and let me tell you, all the work gone into getting the album was not in vain, because I
love the album. Seriously, I have been listening to it
nonstop, and as usual, it speaks to most of my everyday problems.
Who You Are has to be my
favorite of the whole album. She talks about
staying true to who you are because if you keep trying to be who everyone else wants you to be,
you won't remember who you are anymore. So,
just be true to who you are. She also says
its okay to be vulnerable because
"tears don't mean you're losing/everybody's bruising." "Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing...It's okay not to be okay..."
Big White Room. Now, this song is
super close to my heart. Haven't you ever had a moment when
everything seems to go wrong, whether you're going through a
break up, or a
fight with a friend or family member, or it just seems like
nothing is going your way? And you spend
hours upon hours in your room, and you
stare at the walls and your
emotions hit you full force and you're forced to deal with yourself? Well, this song definitely addresses that. I had one of those moments not to long ago, if you couldn't tell. :)
"Sitting in a big white room alone/Tilt my head back, feel the tears fall down/Close my eyes to see in the dark/I feel young, broken, so so scared."
