Here’s another song. I wrote it for a friend who was going through a hard time. As a middle aged woman she was terrified of getting older. She used to constantly buy anti aging products and was considering spending a small fortune on weight loss surgery as well. I was trying to convince her that it was just a phase - a mid life crisis - and that it would pass. Here’s what I wrote:

Put it to the back of your mind

So much is happening that you can’t ignore

Lay it to rest and let your mind be pure

And try to put it to the back of your mind

Try to put it to the back of your mind

Feeling sorry for yourself ain’t no crime

But let it go and get back on your feet

There ain’t no shame if one admits defeat

But try to put it to the back of your mind

Try to put it to the back of your mind

Realize that you’re doing fine and it’s ok to feel like this now and then

So dry your eyes and then look in mine – you can get it back together again

Have faith and put it to the back of your mind

When you let go of something limiting

You create space to let the good back in

Because you put it to the back of your mind

Yeah you put it to the back of your mind

The thought will come back when you’re feeling strong

You’ll surely deal with it for to move on

And then it won’t be a problem and you’ll be fine–

That’s when you put it to the back of your mind

When you let go of something limiting

You create space to let the good back in

Because you put it to the back of your mind

Yeah you put it to the back of your mind
