There’s this something about me and music. I try not to become too musically-inclined because it scares me to think that a four-minute song can affect me so much. As much as possible, I avoid intoxicating circumstances that make me lose control over my emotions and listening to an iPod is one concrete example of that. That should also explain why I have this eternal fascination with people who sleep with the radio on (like my siblings). Point is, I avoid moments that make my heart all jumpy.
Apart from listening to music, the jumpy moments include scary movie-watching, daydreaming, roller-coaster riding, cigarette-smoking, drinking sessions and midnight conversations.
But I indulge in these every once in awhile, of course. Just
not on a regular, day-to-day basis or else I'd become a nervous wreck.
I may not listen to music too much but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have any favorites. I’m a huge fan of alternatives in fact, and my life song is obviously an alternative tune.
Here it is:
Breathing Lifehouse
I'm finding my way back to sanity, again
Though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back in the arms of grace
’Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than to
Sit Outside Heaven's door
and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be
I’m looking past the shadows
Of my mind into the truth and doubt
I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head God, which one's you?
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off me
One more time
I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting
For the scraps to fall Off your table to the ground
I just want to be here now... If you happen to be clueless about the band and the song by the way, I suggest you try listening to it sometime. You will only understand how caught up I am if you've actually heard it. And then tell me about it.
