For Blue Skies
A very touching song...
Basically a song to a loved one who lost the battle to drugs who died a lonely death that he wished he could have prevented. He asked how was things on the other side assuming that she is now an angel watching over him and how much he missed her.
But the sweetest thing about this song is that it didn't discourage him to stop living. Infact, he continued living as a promise to her that he will look out for himself which he had failed to do so for her even though he was right there beside her when she died. Even though he did not know if his loved one had committed suicide through drug overdose or had died accidentally, one thing for sure was that this person was willing to forgive her for what she had done. He moved on knowing he can see his future clearly ahead even though he still kept fond memories of her close to his heart. She might want to have that same kind of future but whose life was sadly cut short.
This song kinda reminded me of the movie I watched yesterday, The Freedom Writers where most students in this class had lost a friend or more through drugs, gangfights and drive by shootings. Their inspiring teacher taught them that death is not a quick solution to end it all and how they want themselves to be remembered by because after all they will be forgotten once they have been buried underground and left to rot if they dont leave behind any legacy that will inspire the future generation. What awaits them instead if they are to be strong and see themselves as useful people is a better future as long as they are willing to work hard and to prove to their families that their life is worth living. It means that they are not afraid to face whatever obstacles lay infront of them. Why? Because they are able to silence those voices that says they cant.
For Blue Skies (OST One Tree Hill)
It’s been a long year
Since we last spoke
How’s your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?
I can’t get used to it
I can’t get used to it
I’ll never get used to it
I’ll never get used to it
I’m under that night
I’m under those same stars
We’re in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would that’ve betrayed you?
I wanna burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldn’t do I will
I forgive you
I’ll forgive you
I’ll forgive you
I forgive you
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skiesFor blue, blue skies
I’ll forgive you
