It’s no secret around these parts that I’ve been going through an emotional and mental rough patch.

This song, “Hold On When You Get Love And Let Go When You Give It” by Stars, has seen me through the worst of it:

Thank you, Stars, for this beautiful song.

It’s a pretty melody
It might help you through the night time
But it doesn’t make it easy
To leave the party at the right time

If I’m frightened, if I’m high
My weakness please forgive it
At least I hold on when I get love,
And I let go when I give it

What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love,
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Let go when you give it.

The world wont listen to this song
And the radio wont play it
But if you like it sing along
Sing ’cause you don’t know how to say it

Take the weakest thing in you 
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love, 
So you can let go when you give it.. give it.. give it.
