Change.

Do you have one thing that whenever you see it, you smile?
One dress that when you put it on you cant help smile at your reflection?
For me that one thing is one song by one AMAZING artist (whom i absolutly adore and can sing every verse to every song of hers) named Taylor Swift. The song? Change.

let me start off saying that i have taught myself this song on guitar and now im learning it on the piano and its given me a lot of respect for TSwift because it is NOT an easy song. Ive probably learned more than 70% of TSwifts songs on guitar but for some reason when i first heard it this one got to me. Lets disect it, shall we?

Verse 1:

 And it’s a sad picture, the final blow hits you

Somebody else gets what you wanted again and
You know it’s all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you’re getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I’ll do anything to see it through

now instantly i was just hit with wow thats my life. Some moments im fine and then i realize something little and its just like..wow..

and the 'repeating history and youre getting sick of it'? Last night Rett Syndrome took a young lady only 20 years old. A while ago the monster gave wings to TWO girls on the same exact day. only 16 and 30. Tonight there is a girl only 15(?not positive) that is fighting for ONE more day to stay with her family. its a pattern. its 'repeating history' and I for one am getting sick of it. BUT i still believe in the cure. and im going to do everything i can to see it.

Verse 2:

Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
This revolution, the time will come
For us to finally win
And we’ll sing hallelujah, we’ll sing hallelujah

because the cure is near. and I KNOW IT! someday the 'walls of all their bodies will fall down the reveal the girls trapped in there for so long. i promise you. and when it does there will be MORE than a celebration. 

Verse 3:

So we’ve been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It’s hard to fight when the fight ain’t fair
We’re getting stronger now
Find things they never found
They might be bigger
But we’re faster and never scared
You can walk away, say we don’t need this
But there’s something in your eyes
Says we can beat this

this verse is prettyy self explainatory. my favorite lines are "Its hard to fight when the fight aint fair" and "but theres something in youre eyes says we can beat this" BECAUSEEE: the first one makes me think of the why? why did these girls get this horrible disease? what did they do? and makes me realize the unfairness of the whole situation. the second one is because everytime i look in emmas eyes i see hope. i see the strength that she has and how even in the toughest times she still believes her cure is out there. her eyes tell me to never give up.


then its the chorus that i already explained up there^ thennn


The bridge:
Tonight we stand, get off our knees
Fight for what we’ve worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it’s the fight of our lives
But we’ll stand up champions tonight


the bridge just makes me think of the day of the cure (soon.). i cant even begin to think of how amazing that day is going to be. 


Ending chorus:

It was the night things changed

Can you see it now?

These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down

It’s a revolution, throw your hands up

Cause we never gave in

And we sang hallelujah, we sang hallelujah

Hallelujah

for some reason this song just gives me so much hope. it reminds me what bracelets for rett is all about. the cure. and who its for. the girls (and a couple boys). It also makes me think of the benefit (rockin for rett 3.0!!!) because its the song of the slide show

you wanna buy a bracelet? only 4 bucks. in any two colors you want!
