Hand In My Pocket

Posted by Aundra

Everyday I realize that I would be nothing without music. Music has played a major part in my life, it gives me butterflies making me fly high. It inspires me and sends an adrenaline rush to my body which eventually burns my soul.

With all that said I’ve decided to post a song for each month to signify my mood.

The song that I chose has a soothing effect on me when I feel boxed in and numb. It reflects the positive and negative aspects of my life. Here the writer expresses the concept of duality, we are never just one singular thing, but that we encompass all emotions and attitudes at all points in life. She juxtaposes this with the concept of a hand in pocket (inactive and disengaged) while the other hand remains active and engaged with the world. Regardless of the emotions and actions we make and tell, the world is full of everything good and bad, engaged and disengaged.

I hope you’ll find joy and inspiration from the songs that are posted here.
