Seems to me we all need something positive to cheer us up, so talking again about things which make me happy I think I have to mention Rachel Platten’s song “1000 ships”, which can put a smile on anyone’s face. So to get to her I first have to take a bit of a side track. One day while checking out Youtube I came across the featured vlogger of the day who happened to be Jason Munday, a Youtube musician who also has a wizard rock band, called Ministry of Magic. He claims to be the nerdest musician on Youtube, but that it why I love his music so much! I am a dork and I’m embracing it! Anyway, back on track, recently Jason Munday starred in a fan-made music video made by Strawburry17 for Rachel Platten’s song “1000 ships”.
I had heard about the song once before when Andrew Sims and BenSchoen mentioned it on their podcast “HYPE”, but at the time I didn’t think much about it, but then it keep come up! Now I am hooked to Platten’s music! I guess it’s because she writes music that I can relate to as a young women trying to figure out her life and the way she feels about things. Her songs seem too perfectly reflect the point at which I am at the moment. Life is joyous, yet complicated…
Her album, Be Here, was released from Rock Ridge Music in 2011. According to Platten’s website her “uplifting, instantly catchy anthems celebrate the love and light in the world with a passionate intensity that has been missing on the radio dial for far too long.”
“They’re positive and poppy, without ever sacrificing the hard truths out there that we all have to live through.”
Rachel Platten - "1,000 Ships" Lyrics
I'd go beyond our fighting borders if you needed that from me
I'd march with decorated soldiers to get your pretty eyes to see
Well I would bring your morning coffee then I'd wrap you up in me
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders, cover blankets on our feet
So slow down, there's some kind of blessing here
But you have missed your cue
So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining,
Well I know it'll find you soon
Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through
Well money and fame they are a losing game
And I know those pretty actresses are calling your name,
But I'll be here waiting,
I'll always be the same
If you'd let me in again...
So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining,
Well I know it'll find you soon
Keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining in,
Well I know it'll find you soon
Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through
I'd march with decorated soldiers to get your pretty eyes to see
Well I would bring your morning coffee then I'd wrap you up in me
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders, cover blankets on our feet
So slow down, there's some kind of blessing here
But you have missed your cue
So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining,
Well I know it'll find you soon
Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through
Well money and fame they are a losing game
And I know those pretty actresses are calling your name,
But I'll be here waiting,
I'll always be the same
If you'd let me in again...
So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining,
Well I know it'll find you soon
Keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining in,
Well I know it'll find you soon
Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through
