Why The Climb?

This all began while I was sitting in my ICT GCSE today. I finished in the first 20 minutes of an hour exam, so I had a lot of time to just think. That was when I decided I wanted to write a blog, to share my thoughts to the world.

I thought of names and eventually settled with 'route 17'. I don't know why. I have always liked the number 17, and I wanted something that would suggest a journey, because that's what life is. So route 17 was good. It was when I was sitting on the bus on the way home that I questioned it. And walking down the road on the way home, 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus boomed on my ipod. And I was decided.

Take away all the Disney hype and some of the cheesyness, the song is extremely inspirational and the words are brilliant. The url is 'the climb 17' because some random spanish person had already taken theclimb. But at least I got to incorperate my favourite number!

So that is how the name came to be.

The Climb Lyrics
I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
