No One Said This Would Be So Hard

OMG Funky Folks this came along and smacked me between me ears it did. It’s the lyrics that rang true. Liverpool-based singer-songwriter Mike Nelson, who performs under the name BANNERS, released a new song, “Got It In You”. The song, released in March 2019, was heard on an episode of “Grey’s Anatomy”, and again on “The Good Doctor”.

From the horse’s mouth so to speak …“It was specifically written to someone I really care about,” explains BANNERS frontman, Michael Nelson. “I’m basically saying, ‘You can do it. You’ve got this’. It’s easy to convince yourself anything good that has happened up until today is due to somebody else’s talent. So, it’s a subconscious reminder to myself I can do it as well. It was the first time I was back at the piano following my own internal compass. It worked out well.”

I’m Just saying…

Beyond “The Good Doctor” the lyrics brought to life the experience of lying on the operating table when the lights went out. Waking in the swirling skyscraper town the realization that ‘It’, being a new heart was in me. They said it wan’t easy but no one said this would be so hard.

Nothing goes in a straight line. Things are never easy. If you think your fire is burning out you have it in you to get through and find the light.
