The second week of Feb is fast approaching. Oh how time flies when your having fun. haha. I’ve been on an unusual high lately, so all is good. Basically had a lazy day. Or at least for the first half of it. I decided to cut my first class, then continued my reporting with Jake for POS53, and just basically enjoyed my French class. For everything in between and after, I worked with our POS53 research questions, hung out with the crazy BlueReppers, attended a Galian meeting, and just chilled with some of my blockmates. I was still in Ateneo until 5PM because our POS53 group had scheduled an interview with one of my former teachers for our research proposal. I’m just glad we had one down. I have this sinking feeling I’m going to be doing so much soon. Group works can be really overwhelming.

After hanging out with the BlueRep people, I discovered another wonderful song by the brilliant Jason Robert Brown. I’m a huge fan of his writing. The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown is one of my all-time favorite musicals. Anyway, the song that I’m referring to isn’t part of any musical, but in his own album. He wrote and sung this song entitled Someone To Fall Back On. It’s beautiful.

Jason Robert Brown – Someone to Fall Back On

I’ll never be a knight in armor with a sword in hand
Or a kamikaze fighter
Don’t count on me to storm the barricades and take a stand
Or hold my ground

You’ll never see any scars or wounds
I don’t walk on coals, I don’t walk on water

I am no prince, I am no saint
I am not anyone’s wildest dream
But I can stand behind
And be someone to fall back on

Some comedies
You’re bruised and beaten down
And I’m the one
Who’s looking for a favor

Still honestly
You don’t believe me
But the things I have are the things you need

You look at me like I don’t make sense
Like a waste of time
Like it serves no purpose

I am no prince, I am no saint
And if that’s what you believe you need
You’re wrong, you don’t need much
You need someone to fall back on

And I’ll be back
I’ll take your side
If I’m the only one
I’m used to that
I’ve been alone
I’d rather be… THE HALF OF US,
THE LEAST OF YOU, THE BEST OF ME…

And I’ll be your prince
I’ll be your saint
I will go crashing through fences
In your name
I will
I swear
I’ll be someone to fall back on

I’LL BE
THE ONE WHO WAITS
And for as long as you let me
I’ll be the one you need
I’ll be someone to fall back on

Your prince, your saint
The one you believe you need
I’ll be, I’ll be
Someone to fall back on…

Someone to fall back on….

It’s a total guy song. But brilliant nonetheless. Both melody and lyrics. And since I’m in such a generous mood, I uploaded it for you guys to download. Please tell me what you think! Download it here.
