Hey There!
After I had my very crazy exam week back in May 2015, I decided to have the weekend off to enjoy having some free time. During my weekend, as week as beginning to watch the TV show Friends, I also decided to listen to Us And Them (Deluxe) in a lot more detail, and Persistence - Demo was the next song that caught my ear.
Initially listening to this song, the introduction sort of reminded me of What A Shame, which was a song that I already had a strong passion for, so to listen to a song very similar to that one was wonderful for me.
The introduction to Persistence, as well as the first verse, is what I love so much about the song. Especially since the chords are so chilled back, and it is just so relaxing to listen to.
The meaning of Persistence is actually quite meaningful. It is about somebody who sticks out from the crowd, and is always going against the flow. Therefore, they are quite persistent, because they are always continuing against the opposing forces, which really links to the quote that I once heard of "persistence beats resistance"!
I am honestly quite gutted that this song never made the final cut for the official album, but at least I am able to listen to this masterpiece of a demo version! However, it does mean that the online chords to Persistence have never existed, but anyone who has been successful in playing this song is amazing!
Thank you to all of you who have kept with me through all of these Shinedown blog posts, it really means a lot to me!
I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Persistence - Demo below incase you're interested!
Settle down
Stop trying so hard
Push back what you think is impossible
Your only undecided because you choose to be
Settle down
Don’t take it personal
Rearrange how you see things
You’re only undecided because you were told to be
(Because you were told to be)
Go ahead and find yourself
Undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way
Your only thought is persistence
(Your only thought is persistence)
Take your time
Stop thinking so much
Always searchin for answers
Your only uninspired because you chose to be
Take your time
Don’t try and force it out
Your opinions can sometimes be self doubt
Your only uninspired because of what you’ve seen
(Because of what you’ve seen)
Go ahead and find yourself
Undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way
Your only thought is persistence
Go ahead and find yourself
Undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way
Your only thought is persistence
(Your only thought is persistence)
And maybe its not your fault at all
Anyone can make mistakes
But can all wrongs be erased
(Your only thought is persistence)
Go ahead and find yourself
Undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way
Your only thought is persistence
(Your only thought is persistence)
(Your only thought is persistence)
