...with the insights on the songs, and I see that too: “Night and Day”- ennui; “Castles”- a bittersweet kids playing in the late autumn afternoon before the twilight comes; and “We Were Alive” comes out as “We ARE alive.” They have a beautiful wisdom. There is an intersection between anxiety and gratefulness. Another wise person (not a DeWyze, pardon the pun) recently told me that being present sometimes will mean being present to pain. If we can be present to the part of us that is pain, versus ignoring it, it teaches us how to be present. And in doing so, we can be more present to Joy and the joy of the moment.
