STUCK IN THE HEAD

Sometimes I realize that a particular song runs through my mind all day, week and sometimes month. I do not really know why, but it happens. At some point in my life, I felt like I was going crazy until I realize that it happens to others too. I had to ask a friend of mind then in school whether he also gets such occurrences, his assurance made me feel safe. Since many others confirmed they have had similar experiences, I have felt safe and free to sing any song that gets stuck in my head, whenever and for as long as I want.

I think this has been more than a month. I am certain she have been harboring it in her mind until she finally spoke up. It was few days ago that a colleague who always sit next to me mildly voiced out. Smiling at me, she was like "everytime the older I get". Funny enough I never realized how much I sang untill she mentioned, it was then that I really started paying attention. I never stopped though because I couldn't, I sang as it came; I guess another have taken over already. It has been "Alone by Neeja" all day long and I am singing it all the way untill it decides to let go of my mind.

The very fact that the song "Older by Sasha Alex Sloan" was in my mind for weeks got me thinking. The narrative of Sasha was nothing close to my realty but yet I felt really connected with the song. I felt so connected that anyone who hear me sing the lyrics will never agree that it is no reality of mine. I guess my colleague would have thought same. Come to think of it, I really need to confirm if every other person also get connected with songs that do not really define their reality. I guess that will make me feel a bit safer.

The most recent being "Alone by Neeja" started ringing in my head earlier today. I do not know if it will last as long as "Older by Sasha" but that do not really matter. Given the message of the song, I would not mind singing it over and over again. Unlike "Older by Sasha" this one is gospel and it carries an amazing message. Apart from the message it carries, the song was composed in Nigerian Pidgin English, my favorite language😀.

Since this one is not written in a general language, I guess I should give a summary of it's message.

Nejee personalized his lyrics a little bit but his message was straight and simple. When things get tough and unbearable, know it that you are not alone. When it feel like you have been completely exhausted of what it takes to continue, know it that you are not alone. You have got Jesus and he is seated on the thrown.

I guess many must have found themselves in my shoes, left only with the option of singing a particular song over and over again. Sing it on until it fades away or become replaced, we are in this together.
