Sometimes, we take life at blinding speed. Everything happens so fast, changes that come out of where, ups and downs in a week. Joy that sometimes overwhelms you only to have a roller-coaster crash down to something which suddenly gets you all twisted up in side. Comfort zones, moved a bit and we find ourselves trying to adapt.

Just need to slow down. To take control of the reigns and get yourself back on the horse again. Take a deep breath and focus. I want to let go and actually let myself fall for a while, but I know that if do I’ll waste time. So no.. I can’t fall but I need to just be free to think and recollect my thoughts on things.

I absolutely love this song and it’s by the lovely actress Emmy Rossum. Rather hypnotic but it’s what i need at this point.

rushing and racing and running in circles
moving so fast I’m forgetting my purpose
blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
getting nowhere

my head and my heart are colliding chaotic
pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I’ve got it together
I’m falling apart

save me
somebody take my hand and lead me
slow me down
don’t let love pass me by
just show me how
cause I’m ready to fall

slow me down
don’t let me live a lie
before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

sometimes I fear that I might disappear
in the blur of fast forward I falter again
forgetting to breathe
I need to sleep
I’m getting nowhere

all that I’ve missed I see in the reflection
pass me while I wasn’t paying attention
tired of rushing, racing and running
I’m falling apart

tell me
oh won’t you take my hand and lead me
slow me down
don’t let love pass me by
just show me how
cause I’m ready to fall

slow me down
don’t let me live a lie
before my life flies by
i need you to slow me down

just show me
i need you to slow me down
slow me down
slow me down

the noise of the world is getting me caught up
chasing the clock and i wish i could stop it
just need to breathe
somebody please
slow me down

It fascinates me that this young lady could come up with this song. It’s so ethereal.

Emmy Rossum can sing people! The first time I heard her sing it was as Christine Daae in the movie Phantom of the Opera. I didn’t think much of it because i was comparing it too much to the ever wonderful singer Sarah Brightman.

Remember this girl from The Day After Tomorrow , Poseidon , The Phantom of the Opera and oh my gosh!!! She’s acting as Bulma in Dragonball.. ohh please let them make a good rendition of that Japanese anime.
