Recently there was a night I couldn't sleep.
I started to feel worried about my future 'cos everything ahead of me just seemed to be so vague and blurry.
And that's when this melody hit my head.
I was lying in my bed. I couldn't sleep.
I turned on my smartphone and played this song till I finally fell asleep.
It gave me that kind of assuring feeling.
And as I just mentioned, yes, this is the song that we're gonna learn today. Josh Wilson's 'Carry Me'.
Josh Wilson is 32 years old this year, and he's been in the music scene since 2004 with eleven records.
And the song we've chosen today is called 'Carry Me' which is the same title of his album in 2013.
During a radio interview back in 2013, he mentioned how he came up with the inspiration for writing this song.
It started on a summer day when he woke up feeling dizzy.
He didn't know why. And it kept on for days.
He ended up nearly passing out in a store. So that's when he realized that something was going wrong.
He called his wife, and he went to see the doctors.
Things got worse. He had trouble breathing, arms and legs were numb.
He thought it was a heart attack. But instead the doctors told him it wasn't anything physical, it was a panic attack.
And that got Josh really confused.
'Cos he was doing the things that he liked. He was working on his record, he was on tour, he was not really stressed.
But then the symptoms continued for days. And eventually he had to cancel the last performance on his tour.
When he was asked about this song he said,
"I like to think that I have everything under my control, but that's not true. God is the only one who has everything under control."
And that's where the inspiration came from.
So this is the song we're gonna sing and teach today. It's called 'Carry Me' by Josh Wilson.
And that's what it sounds like. 'Carry Me' by Josh Wilson.
Ok, it's time for us to break down the lyrics and teach you the English within it.
