Mojo Monday - Lyrical Inspiration

Sometimes when I'm unsuccessfully shouting upstairs for my teenage daughters to turn their music down, I happen to catch a few words of a song they're listening to, that I may not have heard otherwise. Every so often there'll be a line or even just a phrase (even the title!) that I can really relate to a part of my life, and I feel compelled to scrap it, but generally never get around to it.

Most recently, a young singer by the name of Kate Nash (who, incidentally, is a good family friend of my best friend) has caught the attention of my oldest daughter. She sings in a strong London accent, and has a very straight-to-the-point style of telling a story through her lyrics that I strive for in my journaling. In particular, these lyrics from a song of hers really summed up, for me, the love I have for my children - there are the wonderful smiles and proud moments that make it easy to adore them, but also the nitty gritty, not-so-special details that make up motherhood that I've learned to love too.

'well the stars up in the sky
and the leaves in the trees
all the broken bits that make you trip up and the grassy bits inbetween
all the matter in the world
is how much that i love you'

Next time you're listening to the radio, or even your kids' music blasting from the depths of their bedrooms, listen a little closer to the lyrics, and see if they inspire you.

Until next time,
