After releasing the gospel-esque track “The river“, Australian superstar Delta Goodrem has chosen “Heavy” as fifth single from her “Wings of the wild” album.
The song, written by Martin Johnson (Olly Murs, Gavin DeGraw, Avril Lavigne), is the perfect heart-touching ballad to listen to after a bad day.
The music video was directed by Matt Sharp.
In addition to the single’s release, Delta also is quite busy in other projects. In fact, she is expected to begin filming an Olivia Newton-John biopic.
The singer has performed with the Grease star previously, and has previously referred to her as ‘an incredible guiding light.’
Filming for the Channel Seven production will begin on December 12, according to TV Tonight.
Lyrics:
I fought a battle, I fought a war
I felt the rain on my face
Sometimes to find what you’re looking for
You’ve gotta learn from your worst mistakes
I made a wish on a satellite
That I mistook for a star
Guess when you build up to break down
You find out who you really are
How did it all get so heavy
I used to stand up so tall
There’s only so much I can carry
Before I fall
And they tell me “girl you’re so lucky”
“You’ve got the world in your hands”
But you know the world gets so heavy
You don’t understand
And that’s heavy
Just tell me what’s the intention
Is it to fall in love
I tried to find a connection
Between how it is and how it was
I made a promise I couldn’t keep
Another story to tell
You swear to god that you know me
But I don’t, don’t even know myself
How did it all get so heavy
I used to stand up so tall
There’s only so much I can carry
Before I fall
And they tell me “girl you’re so lucky”
“You’ve got the world in your hands”
But you know the world gets so heavy
You don’t understand
And that’s heavy
Sometimes I lay awake in bed at night
I close my eyes and all I see is see the dreams I used to dream about when I was younger
I wonder where I took the path of no return
I might’ve lost my way a hundred times but no I never ever lost the hunger
Oh and I know every cut and every stitch and every scar
I know they’ve gotten me this far, they only made me tough, they made me stronger
But when it’s hard to breathe and I just can’t get off the floor
I long for days when I was free a life I lived so long before
It all got so heavy
I used to stand up so tall
There’s only so much I can carry
Before I fall
They tell me “girl you’re so lucky”
“You’ve got the world in your hands”
But the world gets so heavy
You don’t understand
And that’s heavy, heavy
