(There's Gotta Be) More To Life
Stacie Orrico
I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down
And I'm emptier inside
Tell me what,
Is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go?
There's gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm,
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure
There's gotta be more
(Than wanting more)
I've got the time,
And I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment,
I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing,
I'm searching for something that's missing
There's gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm,
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure
There's gotta be more
I'm wanting more
I'm always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feeling like there's something I missed?
There's gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm,
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure
There's gotta be more to life than chasing down
Every temporary, high to satisfy me
'Coz the more that I'm
Tripping out thinking there must be more of life
Well it's life, but I'm sure
There's gotta be much to life

Haha this is my favourite song. Tops everything, I love it even more than Roses & Butterflies.
This song came out sometime in 2003 (according to Wikipedia). Which is nearly 6 years ago. But I first heard it in 2005, I think. At Yunwei's house. I remember she was Secondary 1, then. I miss those times =( Even though I was a kid who didn't know anything. I remember once we went to walk our dogs together and when she came down and saw me, she excitedly told me, "I got a stead already!!!" I proceeded with the conversation, like, "Really? Whoa... Blah blah.." And a few sentences later I said, "What is a stead?" LOL.
I guess music's a pretty important thing in all our lives; music would be a part of your life no matter what. Do you remember who introduced you to music? Well I don't mean like in the kindergarten or kiddy shows where they sang and danced and taught you alphabets and colours and number (*cough* Barney the Purple Velvet Monstrosity Dinosaur*cough*), but I mean the kind of music you listen to at the very beginning - music where you had a choice to choose what you wanted to listen to.
For me, it was Yunwei. And it was kind of exactly why she's such an pertinent figure in my life even though we're not that close and don't talk that much anymore. And, to top that fact, she's also my first godsister. Haha.
One of the reasons why (There's Gotta Be) More To Life is my favourite song is because, it's the first song I ever listened to. And Yunwei happened to be the person who introduced me to it. I think, it was probably the first song I had on my computer or something. Admittedly, being the child I was back then, I didn't have much taste in music, choosing to revel in teen pop music. (Nothing against teen pop though. I still listen to teen pop songs and I honestly like some of them.) So when I first heard this song on Yunwei's computer (when I went to her house) and when she sent it to me, I just thought, oh okay this is nice. The rest of the time it was just a stowaway, hidden amidst all the folders in my computer.
Sometime in 2006, in the second half of the year, songs from Stacie Orrico's newly released album surfaced on the blogs of the cool people in school. (I'm totally not afraid to admit it, haha.) So because of this, something clicked in my mind and I realised that I had one of Stacie Orrico's song. And I listened to it again. My opinion of it was still the same.
For some reason, when I got to Secondary 1, it became my favourite song. (I remember that I said that it was my favourite song and Fiona said (All Good Things) Come To An End is her favourite song at that time, and I always thought the songs were similar because of their lyrical content and because the titles were both lengthy and had brackets. Lol.) But it was when I started feeling depressed that I really went to Google the lyrics. It struck a chord and from then on it was my all-time favourite. I always listened to it when I was feeling down - Xianyun can attest to that, haha. =)
I deviated a lot - I actually meant to blog about Yunwei. LOL. Nevermind.
(Abrupt) End of post.
