A Writer's Journey

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Music Monday: AJ Rafael - Without You + Contest Reminder!

Today's Music Monday selection is something that is near and dear to my heart. One, because the artist is YouTube sensation and fellow Filipino AJ Rafael, and two, because the video is something that hits close to home. The song describes a want, no a need, so badly to be with that one person that going on without them would be an impossible feat. The video depicts a couple who is going through the five stages of grief as they learn to cope with the circumstances surrounding her illness and the toll it takes on their relationship. It's a touching video and I ended up bawling as I watched it. I still get teary just listening to the song, the images something I just can't get out of my mind.

It has fast become one of my favorite songs and I hope you enjoy it as well! *grins*

**REMINDER** There's still time to enter my blog contest that ends FRIDAY, AUGUST 12TH. SEE PREVIOUS POST HERE. Come stop by for a chance to win a gift card from either iTunes or Amazon! **WHOO HOO**

AJ Rafael - Without You



Lyrics

Bucket full of tears
Baby know I’m here
I’m here waiting

Close your precious eyes
And just realize
I’m still fighting

For you to be with me
Sit under this tree
And we can watch the sunrise
(We can watch the sunrise)

Wake up, feel the air that I’m breathing
I can’t explain this feeling that I’m feeling
I won’t go another day without you

I know it feels
Like no ones around
But baby you're wrong
Just get rid of the fear
Promise that I’m here
I’ll never be gone

So baby come with me
We can fly away and we can watch the
Stars shine

And baby you can be my love

Wake up, feel the air that I’m breathing
I can’t explain this feeling that I’m feeling
I won’t go another day without you (without you)
Hold on, I promise it gets brighter
When it rains, I’ll hold you even tighter
I won’t go another day without you (without you)

This is me tonight
There's no more games and no more lies
And I know it's right
'Cause of the way you look into my eyes
And when I hold you tight
The worries disappear, I’m glad you're in my life...

Wake up, feel the air that I’m breathing
I can’t explain this feeling that I’m feeling
I won’t go another day without you
Hold on, I promise it gets brighter
When it rains, I’ll hold you even tighter
I won’t go another day without you (without you)

And I won't go another day without you...

And now for today's regularly-scheduled PRETTY...

  2. The song's on repeat on my iPod. *has an obsessive personality* And I may be inclined to agree with your friend. Although, technically, he's only half an Asian. LOL :P
