Ten Things
Paul Baribeau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Name ten places you really wanna be before you die and then go to them.
Name ten books you wanna read before you die and then go read them.
Name ten songs you wanna hear again before you die, get all of your friends together and scream them.
Because right now all you have is time time time yeah, but someday that time will run out-that's the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.
Think of all the things that are wrong with your life and then fix them.
Think of all the things that hold you back and realize that you don't need them.
Think of all the mistakes you have made in your life, make sure that you never repeat them.
Because right now all you have is time time time yeah, but someday that time will run out-that's the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.
Name ten-thousand reasons why you never wanna die, go and tell someone who might've forgotten.
Try to list the endless reasons why it's good to be alive, and then just smile for awhile about them.
Soon the sun will rise and another day will come.
Soon enough the sun will set, another day will be gone.
And right now all you have is time time time yeah, but someday that time will run out-that's the only thing you can be absolutely certain about.
The song "Ten Things" by Paul Baribeau is a contemplative reminder to seize the moment and cherish every aspect of life. The lyrics encourage listeners to make a bucket list of sorts, ten things they want to do, see, read or hear before they die. The song then urges listeners to take action and complete those lists because time is finite and the only thing we can be certain about is that it will run out. The lyrics also suggest that we take stock of our lives, identify what needs fixing, what we are grateful for, and what we need to let go of to live fulfilling lives. The song ends on a positive note, encouraging people to share the reasons why they want to live and why it's good to be alive.

This song truly got me through the hardest times in my life. If it weren't for Paul, there's a good chance I wouldn't be here now. "Name 10,000 reasons you never want to die
Go and tell someone who might've forgotten"
Renata López Correa
¿Por qué Paul dejo Spotify? Es tan buena esta canción :')

Por causa da polêmica que teve envolvendo Joe Regan e fake news à cerca da covid.
Paul decidiu não usar mais spotify depois disso
