Today’s song is an old song but a great one! Sung by the band 4 Non Blondes. The lead singer, Linda Perry, moved on to work with artists like Pink and Christina Aguilera. Pink does a cover of this song and she does it very well!
This song sounds a lot like my life. 25 years old.. still trying to find where I belong in the world and become frustrated with the process. Trying to figure out what you *should* be doing vs what you are actually doing, finding a way to get the things you want in life vs your ability to get those things right now etc. These are things that make you scream at the top of your lungs or cry at night!!
I think Linda Perry must have wrote this song at a very “koom-by-yah” moment in her life because I see the world falling apart and losing it’s “brotherhood”. As things become worse in the world, I will pull back a little more each day. If/When I have children of my own, I will focus on them and the best I can do for them, rather than fight the battles of the world. I know someone has to do it, but I’m not that person! At least I found that out during my last 25 years! ha ha. I do, however, pray for a revolution like the song says. I hope things change but maybe I’m living in a fantasy world. Then again, I always believed I should have been born and raised in the 50′s and 60′s, providing they had the internet back then lol (oh and I don’t get high lol… as the song mentions.. so.. that’s another part I don’t associate with)
Enjoy! I’ll post the original, as well as Pink’s cover!
4 Non Blondes Original
Pink’s amazing cover
25 years and my life is still trying to
get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realised quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this
Brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out what’s in my head
and I.. I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take deep breath and I get real high
Then i scream from the top of my lungs
What’s goin’ on
And I say hey…
And I say hey what’s goin’ on
And I say hey…
I said hey what’s goin’ on
And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
To get it all out what’s in my head
and I.. I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take deep breath and I get real high
Then i scream from the top of my lungs
What’s goin’ on
And I say hey…
And I say hey what’s goin’ on
And I say hey…
I said hey what’s goin’ on
25 years and my life is still trying to
get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
