Strangely Dim

I'm a big fan of Francesca Battistelli. First off, girl can sang. (No, that is the right tense of that word.)The first song of hers I heard on KLove was “This is the Stuff”. We connected instantly, it was catchy and cute and this girl gets it. 45 in a 35. Sirens and fines while I'm running behind. Whoa-oa-OOO. Sorry, broke out in song there. Man, it’s so fun to blast in the car and sing it. She has these relatable songs about impatience, frustrations, changes and all that stuff that we I feel weighing me down and am overcome by daily.

Her current single is “Strangely Dim”, the song is a compilation of all my thoughts and posts and desires beautifully, succinctly written in a way I never could. As soon as I heard it I think I cried after the first verse. The song speaks for itself. I’ll post the lyrics because they so simple but poignant. I hope others, whatever their current struggle is, can find as much comfort in them as I have and in turn start to see those doubts/fears/worries grow “strangely dim” in comparison to everything else.

I've got all these plans piled up sky high
A thousand dreams on hold
And I don't know why,
I got a front row seat
To the longest wait
And I just can't see
Past the things I pray
Today

But when I fix my eyes on all that You are
Then every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
All my worries fade
And fall to the ground
Cause when I seek Your face
And don't look around
Any place I'm in
Grows strangely dim

Sometimes where I stand
On this narrow road
Is in a raging storm
Or a valley low
But oh

When I fix my eyes on all that You are
Then every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
All my worries fade
And fall to the ground
Cause when I seek Your face
And don't look around
Any place I'm in
Grows strangely dim

I don't know, I don't know
What tomorrow may hold
But I know, but I know
That You're holding it all
So no matter what may come

I'm gonna fix my eyes on all that You are
'Til every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
Let all my worries fade
And fall to the ground
I'm gonna seek Your face
And not look around
Til the place I'm in
Grows strangely, strangely, strangely dim.
