i love,
love,
love,
love,
LOVE sia.
i swear she sings/writes my exact feelings.
so when i found out she wrote “sledgehammer” for rihanna,
i was alllllll about it.
here is the video…

I hit a wall, I never felt so low, so low
Like a waterfall, my tears dropped to the floor (the floor…)
They left a swimming pool of salted crimes, crimes
(Ohh) what could I do to change your mind?
Nothing!

I’m bracing for the pain and I am letting go
I’m using all my strength to get out of this hole

I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
And on the floor I’d be lying cold, lifeless
But I hit a wall, I hit ’em all, watch the fall

You’re just another brick and I’m a sledgehammer…
You’re just another brick and I’m a sledgehammer…

Yeah I hit a wall, I prayed that I would make it through (make it through)
I can’t survive a life that’s without you, that’s without you, yeah
And I will rise up from the ashes now, the ashes now
Oh the sparrow flies with just the crumbs of loving spilled, yeah

I was bracing for the pain and then I let it go
I gathered all my strength and I found myself whole

I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
And on the floor I’d be lying cold, lifeless
But I hit a wall, I hit ’em all, watch the fall

ummmmmm…
that is so “me” right now.
rihanna is not playing any games for 2016.
sia’s pen game isn’t either.
i didn’t even realize sia wrote “diamonds”.
forgive my ignorance.
i been listen to her songs:

“alive”
“im in here”
“bird set free”
“one million bullets”

…on repeat as of late:

i get you sia!

lowkey: i love her own music,
like “chandelier” and “fire meets gasoline”,
but i love these songs she wrote for others:

i can listen to these songs on repeat all damn day.
it’s like my soul relates to them super heavy.
some of them made me bust out crying.
keep on speaking to me through music sia.
i’m listening.
keri hilson is another one with a strong pen game.
“intuition”…
“energy”…
 “love ya”…
um “hustler”…
shiiiiiiddddddd.
