Even Superman...

So, I've been thinking about one of my old favorite songs recently, by Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band...  It's called, Even Superman.  Kinda quite obviously...  The lyrics are below.

When he saw her face, he thought that nothing could go wrong
Then he saw here smile, he used to be so very strong
'Cause even x-ray eyes could not realize
That everybody loves and everybody falls
And everybody, everybody feels this way

Chorus

Now Lois Lane feels safe because he's flying up above
But would he save the world and never hold his one true love
Then she had a dream, woke up with a scream
Saying everybody hurts and everybody falls and everybody, everybody feels this way

Chorus

When Lex Luthor saw that this weakness made him strong
The diabolic plan was in effect before too long
'Cause even giants fall, and every dog eventually has his day
And Achilles has a heel and even bones of steel can break
And even Superman, even Superman, even Superman, even Superman

Chorus:
Even Superman has kryptonite
And though he tries with all his might
Even Superman falls to his knees
Begging please, please, please, please

It's ironic though, because Superman isn't my favorite hero.  Sorry, but he's not.  Batman is.  And don't even try to tell me how much better Superman is.  Because Batman could beat him in a battle.  Batman carries around kryptonite with him in his utility belt. 

But that's not the reason I posted this.  I posted this because tonight, I had a great night with a good friend.  I felt the need to go over to a friend's house tonight.  I wasn't feeling the greatest, and I knew that I needed to be in the presence off someone who didn't really care if I didn't talk much.  I simply needed to feed off of someone's energy.  I need to do that once in a while.  I've been having trouble recently with feeling adequate.  It was nice to go there and not be judged. 

Another song of Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band that I absolutely adore is Dream Big.  "Because when you dream it might come true."  I won't bother you with all of the lyrics like the last one, but I love that statement.  I've always thought my dreams were obnoxious and didn't make sense, but I love to dream them.  It breaks my heart when people laugh at my dreams.  There's always been something so magical and fulfilling about my dreams, whether or not they come true (which, most, by the way, do come true).

They have a lot of good songs.  "Would you love me, if it won't hurt you at all?"  Sometimes, I feel like a freak, because I love knowing that I'm loved.  I think it's the best feeling in the world.  I try my hardest to let other people know that I love them, too.  I try to come off as genuine, because I am.  I love people.  Even those I don't know very well.  Especially those who's faults I know inside and out.  I love those people, and I want them to know how happy I am to know them, even if they will never see this.  I've seen the Atonement work wonders in the lives of so many people.  I've seen people making choices that take them from the path.  And I love them anyway.  I can't not love them.  Especially when they are the people who need our love and support more than anyone else in this world.  I have felt the love of my Savior and my Heavenly Father countless times in my life.  It's the least I can do to love my spirit brothers and sisters, even if my love isn't perfect like theirs.
