I sort of a weirdo when it comes to listening to new music. Once I thumbs up an a song it tends to remain on constant repeat for at least a week. I legit will listen to it until I can Riley-Okey the lyrics backwards and forward. It just what I do.
Yesterday I finally had the chance to sit down and really take a listen to Ke$ha's new song "Praying" and Oh. My. Gerd.
"Well, you almost had me fooled
Told me that I was nothing without you
Oh, but after everything you’ve done
I can thank you for how strong I have become
‘Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I’ll just this is I wish you farewell.
I hope you’re somewhere praying, praying
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying.
I’m proud of who I am
No more monsters, I can breathe again
And you said that I was done
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
‘Cause I can make it on my own
And I don’t need you, I found a strength I’ve never known
I’ve been thrown out, I’ve been burned
When I’m finished, they won’t even know your name.
You brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I’ll just this is I wish you farewell.
I hope you’re somewhere praying, praying
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying.
Oh, sometimes, I pray for you at night
Someday, maybe you’ll see the light
Oh, sometime, in life, you’re gonna get what you give
But some things, only God can forgive.
I hope you’re somewhere praying, praying
I hope your soul is changing, changing
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, praying
me"
I mean damn! Damn, damn damn! Even though I always say that I'm a lyrical listener when it comes to music, the power in her voice in this song is just chill worthy. Not to mention the story behind it making it all that more emotional to listen to. Props to Ke$ha for just all around killin' it!
