“I Am A Force Field” by Cloud Cult – A Song Feature

 

     We experienced a revelation because of Cloud Cult. Namely, if you find a lyricist with the ability to capture and put to music thoughts and convictions with which you are aligned, merely telling others to listen to the artist is not the best approach to spreading the word. Instead, recommend individual songs to friends based upon the current situations of the friends. A young child, then listen to “You Were Born;” an older child leaving for college, play “Back Into My Arms;” need perspective on a long-term relationship, put “What Would You Do?” on repeat…
 
      The most recent release from Cloud Cult is “I Am A Force Field.” The lyrics are included in this post. For us, the most powerful verse is:

Wrote a letter to my future self

What the hell

I think you're gonna get better

With a little self esteem

And there's a little kid inside me

Tryin' to remind me

That I am a forcefield

Lyrics of “I Am A Force Field” by Cloud Cult
Call me Christopher Robin
Gonna solve all of my problems
With imaginary friends
Who are there when I need ‘em
 
And I've been seeing backsons
And I've been hearing demons
And they say that they are here
Because I've been pushing down my feelings
 
Wrote a letter to my future self
What the hell
I think you're gonna get better
With a little self esteem
 
And there's a little kid inside me
Tryin' to remind me
That I am a forcefield
I am a forcefield
And I
And I
 
And I can only cry
When I'm alone
I guess it's something
That I accidentally learned
From my dad
 
So I'm hiding in the woods
With a shovel and some photos
Digging up feelings
I never knew I had
 
And they're building me a tree fort
With a trap door
I'm the only one I ever catch
 
And there's a little kid inside me
Tryin' to remind me
That I am a forcefield
I am a forcefield
And I
And I
And I
And I (I- I- I- I-)
 
Call me Christopher Robin
Gonna solve all of my problems
With imaginary friends
Who are there when I need ‘em
 
And I've been seeing backsons
And I've been hearing demons
And they say that they are here
Because I've been pushing down my feelings
 
Wrote a letter to my future self
What the hell
I think you're gonna get better
With a little self esteem
 
And there's a little kid inside me
Tryin' to remind me
That I am a forcefield
I am a forcefield
I am a forcefield
I am a forcefield
And I
And I
 
And I've been seeing backsons
And I've been hearing demons
And they say that they are here
Because I've been pushing down my feelings
And I
