My favorite song #7: Gowe - Letters

I feel so sorry for neglecting this blog, but I'm really tired after a day of work. I really enjoy work and it's fun, even if sometimes it can be hard and I'm facing new problems and I try to find and learn new solutions (yes, even if you are done with school, your whole freaking life is about learning), but it gets the best out of my energy.

Anyway, I'll talk about a new song: Gowe - Letter.
 Why I love this song? Because I find myself among the lyrics. I've been in love once, and I had my heart broken into a million pieces (don't get me wrong, I don't blame anyone for that), so that's why I understand some of the lyrics perfectly.

"Now I'm killing pride whenever we intertwine/ Even though its barely ever and I blocked you from my mind/ But its hard and I struggle on occasion" -> This is probably the hardest part to do in life: meeting with that person you once shared with dreams, emotions, places etc. and I really want to thank God for me not to be able to do so, since there is an entire ocean between us...not to mention miles of land. Sometimes, being far away from each other helps with the healing, but I'm afraid that if I will have the chance to meet him again will bring back those feelings I pushed so hard in the darkest corner of my heart.

How I found out about Gowe? There was another song from him, that I came across, called I wonder, and it had such a great meaning behind it that I knew he is putting all his soul in his songs. The story exactly:
"Ever since I discovered that I was adopted (at the age of 18), I've always wanted to write a song that captured my experience and gratitude toward my biological mother.
After performing this song for the first time at Kollaboration Seattle I was able to partner with key individuals to turn the song into a music video.
My hope is that this will one day reach my biological mother so that I could meet her. In a way, I feel like this is symbolically my 'message in a bottle' that I am casting into the ocean. Any help in sharing the video via Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Myspace with your friends & family would be tremendously appreciated.
Thank you to everyone who was involved in the making of this video and for everyone who has helped me share this. God is good and I am truly blessed!
- Gowe
