For just a singer with a melody
by Nick on Jul.16, 2009, under The Truth
It’s quite true when Freddie Mercury mentioned that “I’m just a singer with a song, how can I try to right the wrong?”. I realized and concurred that things are meant to proceed on its track; things which are meant to be, are meant to be.
We are depicting a life of singers, life in a limelight, where problems can basically arise out of nothing at all and take its toll on us. Singers, whine through songs, trying their best to convey their feelings to listeners, but songs are usually a come-and-go in our lives. The songs bring their daily predicaments and bliss to the world, but in fact, are there a myriad or a slew of people stood up and offer their hand to fix their elusive matters?
It fits perfectly into our lives, that our whimpers are merely a song, it comes and go. When the song is addictive, listeners will stay, for a while, and go again. Same goes for true friend though, besides a period of “true listening”, they will still move on, unless you’re lucky enough to get a die-hard buddy (which I hoped for since countless ages ago) who serves as your part-time freelancer to placate you. Nonetheless, I believe that one already has enough “pleasure” to solve his own problems, does one really has time to serve as an appeaser?
When a dilemma or an ordeal surfaces, we can’t really do much if things fizzle, can we? Take a student as an example, if he fails his studies, would whimpers and tears bring back the past and amend his mistakes? If he could, this world won’t be as messed up as it seems now, or maybe we could watch Michael Jackson and John Lennon live again.
Remember the “words of wisdom” from Beatles? I guess the best way to move on is to let it be. A real life example, several years ago I messed with my brother’s computer and it caused the presentation file (which he has to submit by the next day) to be corrupted. I was in utter anguish and distraught for my fault, and ended up nearly fainted for “over-depression”. Ironically, he did not expressed any signs of distress, and I finally got to know that he actually made a backup for it. Bummer!
The significance of this post is that we should move on and learn to condone when things don’t seem to go right, the world is already a messed up place to live in and it’s about to get worse. Since people believe in miracles, why can’t they apply it when they are amid clutter?
Move on!

Hey nick. I came across your blog and I have to say I’m very impressed with what you’ve wrote on this site.
Though I agree with what you’ve said on just letting everything be as whatever’s meant to happen will happen and whatever’s not won’t. But I think people should be allowed to have a period to sulk, lol. It doesn’t change the fact that you failed, but I guess it’s just a form of releasing and letting your emotions take over. Isn’t it better that way rather than keeping it all in? But eventually, people should learn to move on. We shouldn’t have such a tight grip on the mistakes we’ve made.
On a unrelated note, I would love to see John Lennon live again =)
p/s: you spelt “Beatles” wrong =)
