A Song About Moving On

He is known for his hit songs, “Outnumbered” and “Giants” and was nominated in 2020 for best male music artist at the BRIT Awards.

Whether it be a pandemic that the globe is trying to overcome or smaller personal battles it is always a good lesson to leave the past behind us and move on.

“…If you say you will, I’ll leave it all behind”

Lyrics

We used to be giants
When did we stop?
Just say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot

The hope and the hurt
Has lived inside of me
But there’s gold in the dirt
I never took the time to see

But I knew of it’s worth
When you walked beside of me
And my hand fit in yours
Like a bird would find the breeze

We used to be giants
When did we stop?
Say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song in the silence
But time catches up
Just say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot

I knew from the start
You’d be the one to set me free
That day in the park
When the hurt would hide from me

Those eyes used to know me, it’s been way too long
You are the moon and the stars, and all they gaze upon
Time won’t ever move slowly, what you waitin’ on?
Yeah, what you waitin’ on?

Darlin’, just say you will
Will you remember those times?
That I have held until tonight
If you say you will, I’ll leave it all behind
Don’t you remember those times?

We used to be giants
So when did we stop?
Just say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song in the silence
But time catches up
Just say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot

We used to be giants
Giants
Oh, I still love you though
I still love you though

5 Fun Employee Meeting Ideas to Motivate Your Team

Raise your hand if you’ve ever sat through a meeting while mentally reorganizing your pantry, planning dinner, or wondering how long you can nod before someone notices you’re on autopilot. Most bad meetings aren’t bad because of the topic; they’re bad because of the format. Endless updates, one-way conversations, and zero energy are a recipe for disconnection. And if your team silently begs for the meeting to end five minutes in, something’s not working.
