Singing a different song

Have you ever tried remembering the name of a song you couldn't remember, while another very loud, and very different song is playing?

It's really hard, especially at the beginning. It may take you a while, but then maybe you just have to remember one word or phrase that stuck with you, a part you know well. Then as you keep singing to yourself, it gets easier and easier, and eventually you feel your own song in your head even louder than the one that's playing, and before you know it you are moving to the beat of your own drum.

The catch is, you have to keep singing.

This is what attitude is, and this is what it is to be a free spirit. A free spirit may or may not choose to dance along with what is playing, but what is sure is you have to keep singing.

(The song I was trying to remember: Afterglow by CHVRCHES)

It's hard to stay sensitive in a harsh world. Just keep singing. And if you have stopped, start again, even if it's hard.
