Life Through Music:"Let It Be" by Blackmill

*rubs hands together in excitement before I start this entry*

Technically this is not the first entry for 2014, but it is my first thoughts of 2014 now that we are six days in. Oh 2014 you look so delicious, so open, and so fresh with possibilities. Of course the transition from one year to the other isn’t just a cut and dry process. However, by setting the stage for a smoother transitions between years over the past few years this process has gotten better for me. What better way to do this than with some new music right?

Robert Card of Blackmill

So, the song I picked for this week is “Let It Be” by Blackmill. Blackmill consist of Robert Card who is labeled as a melodic dubstep producer from Scotland. This guy has opened the door for dubstep to have a place in the music I like. This is a song that I have been listening to quite a bit over this last week. It is music that I found right at the beginning of this year. I have been playing this song over and over, along with much of his other songs over this first week of 2014. I was hesitant at first because the music is part of the dubstep music scene. The dubstep that I had heard before this song has not been my favorite, but something about what Robert Card does with dubstep that made me pause. I have not been quiet about the fact that I like songs that sonically are larger than life and the songs that I have heard from Blackmill totally fit the bill. Something about it just gets me going and its a wonderful ride that I never want to get off of. 

I even heard it played at work on the overhead music several times over this last week as well. Lets just say that I got caught bobbing my head to this song many times while working.

There is more too it than that of course because the song title says it all for me. The message to let the things from 2013 just be is a huge message for me from the jump from 2013 to 2014. Somethings you just have to let be. This is not only about the past, but also in reference to the future. Somethings are out of your hands and you can only do what you can control.

Lyrics:

‘Let It Be”

All she’s got is the way he looks

Many miles on the other side

He had overheard her choice

And he delved off her cliffside

Sacrifice he just wants to help

(Helping is in my nature.)

Holds the world like a baby

Takes his mask off and lulls his head

(Mask is off and there is a calm that had come over my head.)

Then she sees him in the screen

They both see the traps

No fool, Oh oh

They won’t go back

No fool, Oh oh

They’ve got a mind track

No fool, Oh oh

It’s all a mystery

(It truly is a mystery.)

Let it come and let it be

Oh oh

They both see the traps

No fool, Oh oh

They won’t go back

No fool, Oh oh

They’ve got a mind track

No fool, Oh oh

It’s all a mystery

Let it come and let it be

Let it come and let it be

x4

They both see the traps

No fool, Oh oh

They won’t go back

No fool, Oh oh

They’ve got a mind track

No fool, Oh oh

It’s all a mystery

Let it come and let it be

Let it come and let it be

x3

Although all the lyrics in this song don’t connect to me, the ones that do totally make sense to me. The repeating of “Let it come and let it be”  for me right now means so much. As I prepare for the future I’m definitely just enjoying the present and all it has to offer when I just let things be. 

As always I bring this to you with so much love and pure D-Lite. = )
