Yesterdays
“Nobody
can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a
new ending.”
“Yesterday all my
troubles seem so far away, now it looks as though there here to stay. I believe
in yesterday, oh so suddenly I am not half the man I used to be there is a
shadow hanging over me. Yesterday came suddenly I think I said something wrong now
I long for a yesterday.”
Now I truly love these lyrics I was
thinking of songs with yesterday in it and 6 or 7 stood out in their own way.
The first couple of lines is a remake that both En Vogue, and Boys II Men did
which is beautiful, it talks to me in that yesterday was a less hectic time in
my life and that I believe in yesterday what I had who I was and makes me think
do I want to go back to yesterday? I think both versions sung by a male group
and female group is really good how the message I get in both is the same. In
Leona Lewis song Yesterday she sings…
“They can take
2morrow and the plans we made, they can take the music that we never played.
All the broken dreams take everything just take it away but they can never have
yesterday. They can take the future that we’ll never know they can take the
places that we said we would go.”
It
is beautiful how so many songs can have the same titles and mean so many
different things. In Leona’s version of yesterday it says to me hey what we had
was amazing so whatever is happening now in life they can’t take yesterday for
us the time we spent, the memories we made the love we had. I love that thought
of whatever has happen in the past is that the past but no one can take
yesterday away from you. I think that’s amazing way to look at love lost or
friendships ending or just moving on in general. Shanice version of Yesterday
she hits the chorus hard with these lyrics…
“I can’t stay and
keep living this lie, I finally found the strength to say goodbye I’m on my way
nothing can change my mind. I’m leaving behind what we had yesterday.”
It
is truly crazy to me, just in awe in the diversity of lyrics and meaning in
each song. Shanice is nail in the coffin real I get it in my own way. It’s done
and she is moving forward, she is sick of fighting for it and faking it when
there is nothing there or the love has fizzled out. I completely understand all
versions of the word yesterday I went to my thesaurus and typed yesterday here
are the words that came up the past, the recent past, days gone by, former
times, yesteryear. And the antonym was Today, which made me laugh a bit.
“Yesterday is
history, tomorrow‘s a mystery, today is a gift that’s why it’s called the
Present.”
That
quote jumped out to me as I was typing antonym lol, it is such a true statement
and I think as much as it sucks to follow that and live in that state of mind
it is what’s best for almost everyone. I listen to all these songs about
yesterday on Valentine’s Day just thinking I have shows tonight and I need to
go to the gym. I will not harp on things I cannot change “Life is the Sum of
Choices You Make” I have made some of mine and now must either suck it up or
live through them or not and change it again. The best part about us as people
we do have the ability to transcend the natural laws of life and the status quo
of being human and be more then we were and that takes time and effort and i
think I am seriously ready to put in the work and evolve again. If everyone
sees me as the man or boy I was the last time we met I can never grow in their eyes
and that’s no way to build anything specifically relationships, friendships,
businesses. Its taking some time now but yesterday is history and I have to
find the strength in that and move through it to move forward in my life cycle.
I miss yesteryear so much so many parts of days gone by returns in my memories
and I want to relive them and I can’t there is no do over’s in life so I must
accept those things and keep in tune with my path and what I want out of this
life.
I
wrote this in the thought process of thinking about days gone by things that
are no longer what they were and learning to accept that and personally the
steps I need to take when yesterday is not healthy for you or not for you
anymore. We all deserve better than our yesterday’s and until we see that we
will continue down this cycle of repeats in our life’s that will have us
forever trapped in the “What ifs?” So in ending this one for now we control our
destiny we manifest the things we want and don’t want. Look in the mirror and
realize sometimes you have to say goodbye, its okay to reminisce on the things
you had just don’t let that notion consume all of you or live in that memory.
Happy
Valentine’s Day to the all lover’s out there, if mine is out there or reading
this I hope you know my Stereo Heart beats for you. And yours beats for me!!!
-I
See You…-
