Someone on YouTube commented on the US version of ‘These Words’ that ‘old songs are like tattoos – they stick forever; new songs, starting at 2010 to 2011, are like stains – easy to wash away’.
I’m not sure of the whole sentiment (old songs were new once, and every new song needs its time to prove its staying power), but I definitely reach for these two songs every time that NaNoWriMo draws close. With ‘These Words’ being about inspiration and writer’s block (it’s the same for words as for music) and ‘Unwritten’ reminding me that living to the full is what replenishes inspiration (not to mention the stunning library video), either can be my official NaNoing theme. Or both, ideally.
I’m going to be repetitive and include both UK and US versions of both songs. There’s so much beauty and sunshine packed into the videos that I don’t want to choose.
