A song by Nada Surf, which has a good moral behind it. I bought their album ‘The Weight Is A Gift’ which features this song on my 23rd birthday, and it was an anthem of mine while I was in Australia, really struggling at times to remember to love and not hate people I’d left behind back in Scotland.
To make a mountain of your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough to listen to the voice that told me
Always love
Hate will get you every time
Always love
Don’t wait ’til the finish line
Slow demands come round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down even when you then cross it out
But always love
Hate will get you every time
Always love even when you want to fight
Self-directed lives
I want to know what it’d be like to aim so high above
Any card that you get dealt you
Always love
Hate will get you every time
Always love
Hate will get you
I’ve been held back by something
You said to me quietly on the stairs
I’ve been held back by something
You said to me quietly on the stairs
You said
Hey you good ones
Hey you good ones
To make a mountain of your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough to listen to the voice that told me
Always love
