Blossoming Heart Playlist

Hello Poetteers,

There is a list of songs I always listen to when I want to feel uplifted. The other day I thought the feelings behind these songs are similar to those when you read Blossoming Heart. I had to share this with you.

Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield - This was one of the first songs I heard and saw myself in it.

Broken Glass by Rachel Platten- When I first heard this song I felt it is an uplifting dance song about standing up after getting hurt and working hard towards what you love. It is a motivating song I listen to first thing in the morning when I get ready to work.

Brave by Sara Bareilles - An uplifting song that made me cry when I first heard it. It reminds me of my quiet self and how I use my writing to speak up and be comfortable with myself.

The poem, Being Brave, was inspired by this song.

Stand by You by Rachel Platten - The song is about reaching out and being with someone as they are breaking and healing.

In the beginning stanza, it talks about scars and reminds me of my poem, “Scars Are a Rebirth”.

I didn’t cover every song on the list but I hope you enjoy the playlist. Is there a song you’ve heard that reminds you of Blossoming Heart?

If you haven't read Blossoming Heart, buy it here.

Stay inspired,

Fida

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
