I don’t know how to introduce this song so please bear with me. I heard it for the first time while listening to O.A.R. on Spotify and it just hit me with its utter amazingness (oh, for for those of you who thought this was Bryan Adams or Warrant, I am either sorry or you’re welcome). I can’t stop listening to it. It’s catchy, it’s fun to listen to and the lyrics really resonate with me. Particularly due to the issues surrounding my choice to pursue my dream of writing and realizing that it probably wasn’t going to be a popular choice. And I’m still not sure that it is, and I doubt myself every day, but I’d rather fail doing something I love than succeed doing something that hurts my soul. I don’t know what I’m doing, and I’m sure it’s pretty obvious, but that’s okay. I have to do this.
So it shouldn’t surprise you that this is my favorite lyric from the song:
Maybe I should take my time
And build this life by my own design
With no direction and it’s in between
Everythng I love, and everything I need
So bring it back
All I want is understanding
To live my life the way that I planned it
Wouldn’t change a thing
Man, it feels like heaven underneath my feet
That’s some powerful shit. And it reinforces that my choice, although unusual and nontraditional, is something that I should relish.
Anyway, now you that you know why this song is so meaningful to me, have a listen for yourself.
