Blue Pill Band - A Song for Myself

In Liron Atia's words, from the youtube description:

I really remember myself at 17, before the accident and everything.
I mainly remember how much mental strength I had, I remember feeling strong in the face of any trouble that might come, I had the power in me to deal with everything and I wasn't afraid of anything-addicted to adrenaline and to everything that put me on the edge. I wasn't afraid to go into the sea alone in the middle of winter when the waves were huge and the wind was trying to break records, I wasn't afraid to jump 10 steps with the skateboard and break my hand and I wasn't afraid to do it again when it healed. Part courage, part stupidity of being 17.

And then life decided to test me.
At 18, the snowboarding accident that changed my life arrived, suddenly a wheelchair, a goodbye to everything that had happened before, from the body, from the sea, from life as I had known it. A downpour of trouble, I got hit, and again, and 500 times more, so many things to deal with-all of the friends are joining the army, sharing experiences, finishing service, flying alone to the big trip abroad, telling me about girls they met in some pub at the other end of the world, starting to study... and me? What about me? I really felt like I was slowly running out of power, like a drained battery.
There were days when I felt that "if one more thing goes wrong...that's it, I'm done".
Where was that brave kid?

About 6 years ago my heart calmed down, after a long journey, I think that in the end what saved me was that my whole perception of the concept of "fear" had changed.
If I used to think that being brave meant not being afraid, today I understand that being brave means being afraid, and yet still doing what scares you. That's real courage.
With time I also understood something very important which is in the end, nobody can help me except myself. I'm the only one responsible for myself, I'm the one who decides if it will be good, or bad, I'm the only one that can save myself.
I just need to remember this to myself when the clouds arrive. No problem.
There's a problem.
Because remembering it when everything is good is easy,
But remember it when things get hard, that's already something else.

So I wrote this song, and I called it "a song for myself".
And it's here from now to remind me even on the difficult days what's so easy to forget.

I dedicate this next song to you, with the hope that you'll dedicate it to yourself.

So where's that brave kid? He's still here, singing to me.

We're a rock in the face of the wind.


When it will come, don't be afraid
Because even the bad has an end
Be like a rock in the face of the wind

There's one world outside
And you have another world in your head
When you accept this you'll be able to rest

Do you remember what it was like
When we were kids
How back then the heart was calm

Going to surf
Then in the evening playing music
You were a rock in the face of the wind

And if you were then you'll be
And if you were then you'll be
If you already were then you'll be

Listen up I'm here with you
No matter what will come
Let's fight with all our might

Let's turn on the light
And do good until the credits come up
We're a rock in the face of the wind

Even the bad will pass, you'll see
Even the bad will pass, you'll see
Even the bad will pass, you'll see

Everything passes!
