![]() Nothing is perfect, but we have to get through and power on. Joy Williams releases her beautiful cover of Duran Duran's 'Ordinary World,' whose lyrics she says, 'have taken on a new shape for me today & feel timely. But all I can do is move on, and know that she loves me and I love her flaws and all, and that is enough. I kept telling myself, our relationship will get better when X, or I will try harder later. Maybe things that were always lingering with a thought of "we can fix that later." Maybe that is why Simon took this particular loss so hard. Godwin works his way through the labyrinths of London, visits the. Also seems like their was some sort of strain on their relationship, maybe things that could have been different. Andrews's volumes, we fancy, have appeared in detached chapters in some. I know Simon wrote this for a friend that died, and it makes perfect sense. I could sense her saying to me, "you will be okay, life will go on" through this song. I was looking for a song to use for her picture slideshow and this was perfect. I always thought I "got" what it was saying, but it never made more sense as when my Mom passed away. This has always been my favorite Duran Duran song, and my Mom's as well. And as I try to make my way, to the ordinary world I will learn to survive. I guess we all live and learn, it was really hard to hear these lyrics at that time. Ours truly was just a little sorrow, but man did it hurt. Well, I moved on, found my place in the world, got married, and lived happily ever after, she did as well. ![]() I had to find my "Ordinary World" so to speak. There's an ordinary world Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way To the ordinary world I will learn to survive Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed Fear today, forgot tomorrow Besides the news of holy war and holy need Ours is just a little sorrowed talk (Just blown away) And I don't cry for yesterday There's an. I knew I screwed up, I knew I would never see her again, and I knew that some how I had to learn from this huge mistake, move on, and be a better person after learning this lesson. I lost the person I love and my best friend as well, because I did something so amazingly wrong. And as I try to make my way, to the ordinaryworld I will learnto survive. It was the first time I really listened to the words. I remember being in a hotel room, waiting for my new apartment to be ready, and this video came on. ![]() ![]() it forever became the anthem of this screwed up time in my life in upstate new york. This song was just coming out at the time, and I saw the video. This song brings back a very sad time in my life.ģ days before I was supposed to get married, it all blew up. I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio The theme is in the chorus: “I will learn to survive”.Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue People recognize the theme of the song it is uplifting and something everybody can relate to feeling a need to hear every once and awhile. The verses are surprisingly recognizable as well. The song works primarily because it has such a recognizable chorus. That is a lot to express in a five minute song. And that is what he must concentrate on doing now. There are so many horrible things like wars and poverty, does he have any right to feel this horrible about just a breakup? He will survive, and that is better than a lot of people can say. His epiphany seems to come in the form of reading the news. He knows he needs to get over this somehow and make a new life for himself and find a place for himself in this ordinary world. It is ironic how he wishes for her shoulder to cry on…as she is his best friend. Life doesn’t feel the same, and it doesn’t feel like it ever will. The narrator is missing his significant other who he recently broke up with. Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World” is a breakup song and a coming of age song in one.
