So, honestly, I heard this song on the soundtrack from my work, and was really surprised. It took me about 3 months+ to identify who the singer was. No joke.
I don't really know how to explain what this song means to me. I guess it just makes me want to keep trying. Even though things suck sometimes. Sometimes it's hard to remain optimistic when you feel like you've been beaten down. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really in a bad mood right now, but this song really speaks to me when I am upset. I don't know many Jack's Mannequin songs, but I really enjoy this one.
Every song has different meanings for every different person. I understand that the previous sentence probably didn't make much sense. What I mean is that, based on every individual's life experiences, a song may speak to them differently. This song makes me try and revive some optimism when it feels like things are only going downhill. Just keep going, it has to get better, right?
Anyway, I'm not really sad, and haven't been for awhile. When I put it into perspective, I had a pretty great night. I was just thinking about the song and thought I'd share.
I LOVED this song! I have a sophmore on our high schools wim team, and I am sure he'll love this song. Also, I swim in a "therapeutic" fashion twice a week to help with my MS issues. This song kind of sums it up for me, and I'm sure the swimmers will love it as well Also, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who decided to keep on blogging after class was over! :)

A great night eh? Tee hee
ReplyDeleteYou two are a bunch of blogging fools.
Hey Robert: Glad to see you're still out there in cyber world. I'll miss your random musings of the world in general. Your blog reminded me of a Seinfeld episode. I loved it! Are you still thinking about blogging?
ReplyDeleteOne of the unfunny episodes I bet. And no way, I'm so burnt out I ended up writing movie reviews the last two weeks. No way.
ReplyDeleteI'll just scan around other people's blogs and leave strange, random comments. Good to talk with you again though.
Oh, I like this song. I feel like you don't hear the word swim used like this. Usually we associate getting away by driving or running or something, but I really like how they took a different look at it.
