Feeling a bit melancholy today probably just a bit of a crash after the crazy, fun, stressful week I had. That said I thought today's song should be thoughtful and slow. I just heard this song "Shadow" last week at the Colbie Caillat concert I went to. She said he wrote it for a friend who had a horrible boyfriend. The line that struck me though was this one "I can't get no sun in your shadow" I thought about how often we allow ourselves to get caught up in the shadows of our friends, our parents or our partners without ever making things happen for ourselves. I have often sat around trying to live vicariously through someone else and it is no fun. Other people can't make our dreams come true and if you want to step out of someone elses' shadow only you can do that as well.
