Amazing Things

Recently i've been thinking a lot about our own "best interest" and the choices we make based on what we assume that to be.
Can we ever be so objective as to say what would best serve our interests?
Are we objective enough to know whats best for our friends? Is it our responsibility?
Or are we meant to fail, meant to let our loved ones fail, and learn from that failure?
What if that friends failure is breaking your heart?I recently sent a song, Amazing Things, by Sarah Blasko to a friend in that position.
If you like KT Tunstall or Aimee Mann or Brandi Carlyle... you will go nuts for this girl.
You can preview/stream a bunch of her songs here

Her lyrics nail a human heart to the wall... but wont make you want to fling yourself from a bridge.
Some songs, Queen of Apology and Planet New Year, are distinctly upbeat.
Others, like Amazing Things, are little more relentless in their pursuit of the emotion.

Amazing Things:

Fallen like a soldier, tragically you are at war
You think you’re not
Caught within a fragment of yourself
Do you think you’re something you are not?

You look like a lover
You feel like a nervous wreck
It cuts in the night
It hurts like an oversight

You long to feel the most amazing things
But you’ve come undone ‘cause you have held it in
Your eyes have seen the most amazing things

Falling like a rock into an ocean
There is something you forgot
Only you decided that you had to go and fight
Until you lost

You look like a fighter
You couldn’t recognise yourself
Now you’re cursing the night
You’re watching the seconds die

You long to feel the most amazing things
But you’ve come undone ‘cause you have held it in
And your eyes have seen the most amazing things
And this love you fear is such a precious thing
