THREE-DAY LYRICAL CHALLENGE: DAY 2!

Well this is new! I don’t think I’ve been part of a tag like this before. But when Taylor of Nerd Narration tagged me (THANK YOU, TAYLOR!) I thought, yup, this makes sense to do a tag like this.

There are so many songs that I love because of the message. There might songs with a better bridge, or a catchier melody, but if I don’t believe in a song’s message, it won’t last with me.

So! How about this challenge:

HOW IT WORKS?

*THANK THE PERSON WHO NOMINATED YOU.*
*SHARE ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE SONGS/LYRICS (ONE AT A TIME) FOR THREE DAYS.
*NOMINATE THREE OTHER BLOGGERS EACH DAY.

On Day 2 of this challenge, I’ve selected an artist that I didn’t like at first… for no reason what-so-ever. I think maybe it was just because he’s never on the rock stations, which is what I mainly listen to, but as I get older pop sounds better and better to me all the time.

So as I started hearing more and more songs for Shawn Mendes, I started thinking, I LIKE this guy’s music. Day 2’s song is In My Blood.

IN MY BLOOD by Shawn Mendes

Help me, it’s like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I’m crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can’t
It isn’t in my blood

It isn’t in my blood

IN MY BLOOD is about Mendes’ struggle with anxiety, but whether you struggle with mental illness on the daily or not, I think we’ve all felt like this. Overwhelmed, stressed out, mentally exhausted, and just wanting to walk away from everything. But this song is about not giving up in the face of all that adversity. Since discovering this song I’ve had days where I tell myself, It isn’t in my blood.

On day 2, I tag: Ally, Brittany, and Sophie

Fun fact about this post: Shawn Mendes is Canadian. ME TOO!
