Weekly Shinedown - Song Nineteen - Some Day!

Hey There!

This next Shinedown song is quite possibly the most relatable one to me ever!

The first time that I heard this song was at the beginning of November 2014. At the time, I was going through a difficult time of not knowing what to do about a certain person, and then when I accidentally stumbled across this song, everything became clear to me!

I had typed in "Shinedown Acoustic - Live" to my Spotify to see Shinedown's acoustic tracks, and when I discovered that there were two that I had never heard - Save Me and Some Day - I just knew hat I had to give these a try.

After listening to Some Day, I realised that after experiencing such confusion on how to understand my situation, this song had made it all clear to me, and I can only thank Shinedown for this!

My situation was clear, I had been close to someone called Danny (the same person from Call Me, but before this) for a few years. Unfortunately, on Monday 1st September 2014, which is coincidently the first time that I had heard Call Me, I was talking to him online, and when he had found out a few more facts about me, it seemed to take him by surprise, and we both knew that things were never going to be the same, so I only ever spoke to him once after this day. I went from everything to nothing!

So for two whole months, I had to live in such confusion of what to do, and the truth was, I genuinely had no idea what to do. I had liked him for years, so just letting go was extremely difficult, but it was my only option, now that things had changed. I guess that I just needed this extra push to do so.

Eventually,  on Tuesday 11th November 2014, I added this song into my Shinedown playlist, and then finally on Thursday 13th November 2014, I was able to let go of everything, and it was all thanks to Shinedown that I could do this.

The chords to this song are absolutely beautiful, they're just out of my range, but this would the ultimate Shinedown song that I would love to play on guitar, and sing at the same time, because I could just let out so many emotions.

Next week, I'll be talking more about the acoustic version to Some Day, and also how lyric-by-lyric, this song can relate to me so much. So stay tuned for that!

I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Some Day below incase you're interested!

Someday, when I'm older
And they never know my name
Somehow, if I'm honest
I can never feel ashamed
Maybe I was wrong to
Hold you up so high
Now I know I've lost you
To the feelings I kept inside

I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time

Someday, when it's over
And you never show your face
I hope you'll remember
How I tried to make you a place
And so now, I move on
To keep my piece of mind
In someway, I've failed you
But I just ran out of time

I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time

I'm not sure that you hear me
I'm not sure that you look at me the same
I will always be attached to you
But I'm never gonna feel the same

I don't know if it felt like
I wanted you here, the way that I wanted you last time
We're not on the same page, you don't even know me
Cause you never took the time
No, you never took the time

Someday, when I'm older...
