I’ve decided to do a weekly music thing now, with a song and my commentary.

This week, Never Too Late, by Three Days Grace.

I’ve also decided to only put the live versions here. If you want the polished recordings, you can easily find them.

Now, I’m not anywhere near suicidal, or at all disappointed with my life. I’m actually a very happy person, content not because I have achieved all my goals for myself and for the world. I definitely have not. But I know what I want and I know what’s right, so I reach for it using whatever I’m best at doing.

That said, I love this song. I don’t dress or act like grunge suicidal metalists, but there’s something I love about people expressing their pain together with such happiness and hope, and such beautiful chords. There’s something Godly about it.

Most Three Days Grace songs have extreme lyrics that describe the tearing emotions of miserable people, and though I am not miserable and some of the lyrics are too much for me, turning pain into beauty like this is just great. It’s why Three Days Grace is one of my favorite bands.

For the Enneagram buffs out there, I’m exercising my 4 wing.
