Have you ever hear a song for the millionth time and suddenly hear a completely new meaning for it? That happened to me the other day while listening to Keane’s “Can’t Stop Now”. How do the guys from Keane know how to write about how it feels to be a new mom and completely disconnected from the real world? 
It feels like there’s no time to be there for others right now and that adds a whole other dimension to the motherly guilt I am becoming well acquainted with. Of course, I will share the lyrics and a video from YouTube.
Can’t Stop Now
I noticed tonight
That the world has been turning
While I’ve been stood here dithering around
Though I know I said I’d wait around till you need me,
But I have to go
I hate to let you down
But I can’t stop now
I’ve got troubles of my own
Because I’m short on time
I’m lonely and I’m too tired to talk
I noticed tonight
That the world has been turning
While I’ve been stuck here withering away
Though I know I said I wouldn’t leave you behind
But I have to go
It breaks my heart to say
That I can’t stop now
I’ve got troubles of my own
Because I’m short on time
I’m lonely and I’m too tired to talk
To no one back home
I’ve got troubles of my own
And I can’t slow down for no one in town
And I can’t stop now
And I can’t slow down for no one in town
And I can’t stop now for no one
The motion keeps my heart running
In other news, still anxiously awaiting my new laptop that should arrive tomorrow (at the latest!). I can’t wait to get it so I can start vlogging with the isight camera!
