Here’s a beautiful, sad song, one of my favorites in recent years. I love especially how the lyrics describe the thin line between despair (“jump”) and tentative hope (“jump for something”).

Lyrics

I’m ready to be afraid
I’m ready to jump
I’m ready to let you hurt me
If you must

I’m ready to cry
Because I do anyway
When I’m not doing
Anything

I may as well jump
I might as well jump
For something

Oh, forget what you know
And draw me with crayons
Spin around the room
With paint on your hands
See who gets covered
And when you fall down

’Cause you’re going to crash anyway
Even if you’re stuck, not moving
You can be lulled by insults
Or sharpened by love

So you may as well jump
You might as well jump
For something

Maybe you should’ve left long ago
But you couldn’t bear to let go
Now you say you’ve got to
Or you’ll never know

You say, “This dive, I pray, will be the deepest I’ve made
“And I’ll come back with everything that I really need
“I’ll swim up from the bottom
“Holding my breath ’til I release it”

You may as well jump
You might as well jump
For something

I’m a sucker for classic “Kosmische Musik”
