Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park

Sometimes a song will just grab me and touch something deep inside. Whatever the specific reaction it brings out, usually it is from the depth of emotion which it inspires. Sometimes that is joy or happiness but more often it is sorrow or desperation. Don't get me wrong, I am not filled with angst over any particularly horrible events in my life. All in all I have a good life and have very few major complaints. But something inside me understands suffering and pain. But I digress.

Today I wanted to share a song by Linkin Park titled The Shadow of the Day. I can't tell you how often I've heard this one on the radio but I will say that everytime I do, I am struck by the beauty and saddness of it. More often than not I find myself wiping tears away. Maybe I'm just a sap, or maybe this is a fantastic song. :) You be the judge.

The Shadow of the Day

by Linkin Park

I close both locks below the window

I close both blinds and turn away

Sometimes solutions aren't so simple

Sometimes good bye's the only away

[Chorus]

And the sun will set for you

The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day

Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

[End Chorus]

And cards and flowers on your window

Your friends all plead for you to stay

Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple

Sometimes good bye's the only way

[Chorus]

And the sun will set for you

The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day

Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day

Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day

Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

[End Chorus]
