about
I think a lot of music artists can point to a few songs that they say they wish they'd written.
This is one of those for me.
Earlier this year, I heard the song Through Hell by Citizen Soldier and Royal Bliss and it immediately resonated with me. I've been through a LOT in the last few years in terms of finding who I am as a person, especially in regards to my sexuality. It's been hell for sure, and I've come out the other side a better person.
After hearing that first chorus, I KNEW I had to record my own version of this song, girl and piano style.
And now here it is, for your listening pleasure!
lyrics
They say the devil's just an angel
That never learned from all his pain
They say the strong are never strangers
To the darkest of their days
I've learned there's beauty in the danger
There's meaning in the misery
Someday you'll look back at what it made you
And you'll never be the same
I had to go through hell, through hell
To be the person I am today
Had to find myself, myself
Climbing a mountain of my mistakes
'Cause I was worth the war that's underneath my skin
And if I had to I would do it all again
Through hell, through hell
You want a story to tell
You gotta go through hell
They say you're never gonna make it
Keep you digging just to find fool's gold
I know legends never had to fake it
Born with souls that can't be sold
They're gonna talk you down
Like you're a stupid kid
You gonna wave a white flag
Or are you gonna get pissed?
What you call taking punches
I call learning how to live
So keep your prison cell
I'd rather go through hell, through hell
To be the person I am today
Had to find myself, myself
Climbing a mountain of my mistakes
'Cause I was worth the war that's underneath my skin
And if I had to I would do it all again
Through hell, through hell
You want a story to tell
You gotta go through hell
You gotta go through hell
I had to go through hell
To be the person I am today.....
And if I had to I would do it all again
I would do it all again
I had to go through hell, through hell
To be the person I am today
Had to find myself, myself
Climbing a mountain of my mistakes
'Cause I was worth the war that's underneath my skin
And if I had to I would do it all again
Through hell, through hell
You want a story to tell
You want a story to tell
You gotta go through hell
You gotta go through hell
You gotta go through hell

Cecilee is an alternative piano-based singer/songwriter. from Virginia. Her music is a blend of piano pop and some electronica with an occasional dash of French pop.
I first encountered Janice after she completed her Smiths Project. Except for a few songs with other instruments, all of these songs are made up of nothing but her voice. Mindblowing to listen to! Cecilee
