Day 7: A song about perseverance

I picked a lyric video version of this song so people could come along for it. Something about getting to middle age is this very weird mixing of loss, joy and fear. By 45 you've lost people in your parents' generation, if not one or both of them, people in your generation, and, in the cruelty of the world around us, someone younger than you that you cared about. And you put one foot in front of the other, and you go through it. There's not around, there's no over. It's through. You find your people, and you hunker down, you build community, and you carry on.

 
Day 7: A song about perseverance

Strong as an O.A.K. - Watsky

That whatever you think that it means
I be here and I'm living my dreams
And it's cause of the people I leaned
On when I came apart at the seams
So gimme the moon, and gimme the spoon
I'm licking it clean
Until there just ain't nothing left
But who would lend a hand, 'cause

and everything is A-OK because I'm strong as an O.A.K. 🎵

Day 7: A song about perseverance

Several decades ago, a dumbass snot-nosed kid decided to go out for athletics, despite an ailment-riddled childhood that made mere survival to that point nothing short of a medical miracle. Some bullying might have played some part, but girls were much more of an encouragement in his stupidity.

After a couple of years riding the pine, this scrawny little runt decided to make a change.

And the change, against all odds, took.

A few years later, after three years on Varsity, that pipsqueak who was still several inches shorter and about a hundred pounds lighter than the next smallest lineman in the district, stood up to receive the Fighting Heart award. Phrases in Coaches speech included "absolutely no talent, but just wanted it more" and "made us all wonder if he was smart enough to know when he was beat."

I'm not sure, but this was one of the songs played as he ran, biked, swam, lifted, and otherwise tried to do what everyone, including his otherwise supportive parents, tried to gently say he couldn't.

One of the best motivational speeches in a movie.
 
Day 7: A song about perseverance

Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up
Knockin' me
Back down on my knees

Lor', there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to
Carry on

Sometimes the people we expect to show up for us don't. That's been made clear the past couple of days. And even though I want to give up - giving up would be the real failure. We have to keep trying.

Eventually, A Change Is Gonna Come. Originally a Sam Cooke song, I felt that a woman singing it would be appropriate.
