Hey There!
I would just like to say that If You Only Knew by Shinedown is one of my all-time favourite songs by them, and it means an awful lot to me.
By the time that I heard this song, it was coming towards the end of December 2014. I had finished school for the holidays, and I didn't have much to do. I had finally finished my IT coursework, so I didn't have to stay behind at school any longer, and I was so glad about that. But somehow, I still missed listening to Shinedown on SoundCloud. So one day, I decided to listen to the whole of their third album The Sound Of Madness.
If You Only Knew is the sixth song on this album, so when I heard it, it was my first time ever. I liked it so much that I decided to watch the music video on YouTube. I loved it so much, and so for the next six months, I listened to If You Only Knew almost every evening before I went to bed. It really calmed me down before I went to sleep, and it just had a special meaning to me!
I know that my Uncle Peter really likes this song too, because a few weeks ago, we drove to Starbucks in his car, and he played If You Only Knew in his car. There was only me and him who knew the words, so we sang our hearts out, and it was such an amazing experience. I also love the live versions of this song, and it is probably one of my most listened songs ever!
A few months ago, I decided to look up the chords online, and I even learnt to play parts of If You Only Knew on my guitar. It is one of the best songs that I have ever played, and I even love singing to it too. It will always mean a lot to me.
I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to If You Only Knew below in case you're interested!
If you only knew
I'm hanging by a thread
The web I spin for you
If you only knew
I'd sacrifice my beating
Heart before I'd lose you
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
I swear I've lived and learned
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew
If you only knew
How many times I counted
All the words that went wrong
If you only knew
How I refuse to let you go,
Even when you're gone
I don't regret any days I
Spent, nights we shared,
Or letters that I sent
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
You help me live and learn
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, believe in is you
I still believe in you
Oh, if you only knew
