Better Way 🎶 Sister Hazel

Thought I would do one more from Sister Hazel… and then next week I’ll be moving on to someone else…
This last song is called “Better Way”… and it’s maybe my favorite from them — it just really speaks to me… lyrically and musically…
It’s definitely a hidden gem… not as known as some of their other songs…
It debuted in August of 2o09 on the album “Release”…
I’ve also included a few more videos of them below…
I hope you enjoy…

”’ the bright skies.. they only fool the men who are blind
So.. look through the smile and see what’s behind..”‘ 🎶

”’ Now.. here I sit.. in a cage all my own
It’s a new life.. it’s a brand new home
And it’s made out of steel.. it’s built out of fear
It’s closed up to you and it’s part of the deal…”’ 🎶

The Edge…

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

When I saw this prompt question…
it brought back many memories of my past…
my drug days…

I went without much in those years…
including sleep…

I was reminded of the time I stayed awake for 18 days…
so I started thinking on it…
and googling…
and reading…

Apparently.. the Guinness World Record for staying awake is 11 days and 25 minutes…
so yeah…
I shattered that record…
but I’m guessing that guy didn’t have any help from stimulants lol…

Through more reading…
I learned that being awake 18 days is hanging right on the edge of death…

Guess I’m really blessed and fortunate…
because there were numerous times I would be awake around 10 days or more even.. I actually beat the world record many times… nothing to be proud of…

I am so grateful and thankful to God…
that I made it through those times…
and I am not the same today…

Death waited at the door…
but it did not win…
I walked back out of those days…
changed…
and still breathing…
