So:Lo

I saw someone else write how a song made them feel so I decided I’d give it a try too. The song I have chosen is So:Lo by Kate Havnevik.1

This song is actually perfect for me. We all have those nights where we just can’t sleep and all we want to do is talk to that one special person. Even if we aren’t in a relationship with them, we know that they are something very special to us and that if we wanted to talk to someone they would always be the person we would go to. I used to have someone like that. He was the perfect person to talk to. It was amazing. I could call him and all of my troubles would just melt through the phone. There wasn’t anything I couldn’t say to him. He made me feel like there was nothing wrong in my life and that I could do anything after talking to him.2

But things change. Life moves on and those people somehow slowly dissolve from your life. Sure, we still keep in contact, but he’s not the same person to me anymore. There have been so many times when I’ve wished I could just call him and tell him how bad my day was or how I think my life is going nowhere. But when people grow apart, it’s hard to rekindle those connections. Those people just aren’t there for you the same as they used to be and they will never be able to be the same anymore. You may try to have that relationship again but there may be so much pain that you can’t even stand to look at the person anymore. 3

But I digress…This song talks about how there can be so much going on and there could be so many special people out there, but you just keep going back to the same one and have no interest in talking to anyone else. You stick to your person and that is the most important relationship in your life. I feel like I’m leaving someone really important out of this. And that is God. In my life I forget that he should be my number one that I can bring everything to Him and He will help figure out any situation I am in. He created me and He knows more about what I go through than even I do. So I just want to remind everyone that even when the person that has always been there to talk to you isn’t, God is still there and will always be there to talk to and to help you through all of your struggles.4

Kate Havnevik - So:lo lyrics5

I know it's late but I wanted to call6

No, everything is fine7

There's nothing wrong8

Just needed to talk9

I hoped you would answer this time10

'Cos I'm so low11

Everyone's speeding12

But I'm still going slow13

And I'm so low14

Everyone glows15

I see love affairs16

Everywhere17

But no-one will do18

But you19

If we could speak20

We could have a good row.21

Which off course I? d win22

What I mean is I? m missing you now.23

This freedom is wasted on me24

'Cos I'm so low25

Everyone's speeding26

But I'm still going slow27

And I'm so low28

Everyone glows29

I see love affairs30

Everywhere31

But no-one will do32

But you33

'Cos I'm so low34

Everyone's speeding35

But I'm still going slow36

And I'm so low37

Everyone glows38

I see love affairs39

Everywhere40

But no-one will do41

But you42
