Chasing Pavements

I'd like to share a song that has been replaying in my mind and even in my dreams for several days already. So what's up with this song? There's really something suppressed with this song that I can endearingly relate with.

I would like to get into the chase but doing so might be that challenging as "chase" is an ambiguous word to me. As a proper noun, it reminds me of the time I worked as a financial adviser at a banking firm (named Chase). The total package of working in the company is summarized as both an irony of building confidence and building low self-esteem. I must say my communication skills in English tremendously was enhanced as I were able to talk to the native speakers in a day-to-day basis. But om a sadder note, as I am defined a person with emotions beyond the norms, it made me feel that quite a number of people belittles the job and worse, the nationality of whom I am a citizen of. So as suppressed as it is, I had to give up the job and chase something can help me elude this kind of work in the future.

Chase, as a verb, defines so many things to me. Just like Joseph, the dreamer, I am in a chase of dreams. I am in chase of my ambitions and my passion in life. Right now, I'm chasing the deadline for my thesis. It's totally a major challenge for me to beat the deadline. I am in complete remorse of the time I wasted and the lack of judgment and brainstorm to the realm that I'm at. As the days have gone by, I feel the urge of completing the task as soon as possible but I really find challenging due to my lack of skills, thus leads me to ask my self, "Should I give up?".

When that question was stuck in my mind, I was in front of the world wide web, searching for more answers and motivation, and there on the most trending topic of yahoo.ph was Thia Megia. A 15-year-old Fil-Am who is chasing her passion, music. Her song selection was Chasing Pavements too and she nailed it! (To see her audition, click here). I'm astounded by her voice and determination. I can't help but admire her a lot.

Directly proportional to Thia's dream are the group of the Blacktie Project whose dreams are to captive great memories through every shot and every video that they take. So I'm as sharing you the song that has captivated my heart for days now, I'm sharing a video made by Black Tie Project as well to let you see a product of dream.

So to end, this song might be originally designed for chasing someone, for chasing a loved one, but in our own battle field, we are free to chase what we want to be, who we want to be in life. So should we give up? Giving up shouldn't be an option. Let's pursue our dreams and remember that it doesn't happen in just a snap of our fingers, and we need to be reminded that even Joseph, the dreamer, worked and waited for years for his dream to come true. ;)  Let's push and pray everyone. Til my next update. God bless! ^__^

Lyrics:

I've made up my mind, don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong I am right, don't need to look no further
This ain't lust, I know this is love

But if I tell the world, I'll never say enough
'Cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do if I'd end up with you

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?

I build myself up and fly around in circles
Wait then as my heart drops and my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it?

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements

Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep on chasing pavements
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
