First things first
I apologise that I have not written for so long. With Christmas, New Year and January deadline, it has been hard to find time to sit and write another post, a task that I have been meaning to do for a while. The holidays were quite full on, what with essays to write and relatives to see, not to mention the somewhat countless pub trips to catch up with friends, whom, I wish I had more time to see.
Right, not that is out of the way, I suppose now is the time to write about a particular subject that has significance to myself or the world that surrounds me. This being said, I do not have one. The desire to write another post has been bugging me for so much, that it has robbed me of a subject to write on.
There is hope however. Those of you reading this will see the banner at the top of the blog, and may recognise it as lyrics from a song, one that has always been close to myself and was written by a band whose ideals, life views and stance on todays society have always hit home and whose lyrics I cannot find fault with. The lyrics read:
'Home could be anywhere when I am holding you'
These lyrics are taken from a song called Adieu, written by Enter Shikari.
If you get a chance, I urge, or at least strongly recommend readers to find and listen to it. Such a good track!
This band, who hold no membership with any religions organisation or view, write these lyrics in a purely secular context, written in a way that can be seen to be as Christian in nature as any modern worship song writer's work. Before leaving home to take my place as a degree student, I would listen to it, drawing religious significance. Home could be anywhere when I am holding you, could be addressed as much to God, as to any girl or fleeting fancy. I knew that as long as I hold on to God, then I could call any location of my choosing home. Powerful words indeed.
When moving out of home for the first time, this song was very significant and was a nerve wracking time. Now, I am a second year student and this song is just as relevant today as it was back then. Next year I will have completed my degree and can only hope that I have attained a job at this point. In this time where even the simplest and/or common jobs are scarce, I may have to again move from home.
I hope you can see then, why this song is so important to me. Wherever I choose to live, I can call it home if I hold on to God. This is why I have chosen this to be the header title to this blog.
I hope to write again soon, hopefully next time with more content. Thank you all who are following and support this blog and thank you those who take time to read it. As I have mentioned before, if you could shed light to how I could improve this blog, or if you have a desire for me to write on a particular subject, then please comment and let me know. Thanks again
