Songs & Sensibility

It's been a fairly long time since I've listened to music; to the radio. (And the infrequency I've listened to in the past year has been NPR - so, not music. 😁) There's been a lot in my head & no music sufficed.

Recently, however, I've found a few gaps in my "blank noise" space. I found myself reaching for a radio. It was an easy solution.

While listening recently I heard this. I've heard the song just as many times before as any other radio listener might've. I'd have previously focused on jamming to it. That's what I do: jam to tunes. 💃😂 This time I noticed a similar line as I did in these. It caught me off guard & made me pay attention again.

It's a movie I saw years after it's release despite it being just as age appropriate, etc. during it's theater debut as this, this, & this. Both of which I specifically remember heading to at-the-time-within-walking-distance video store to rent for yet another crochet-all-weekend extravaganza.

While being "on my own" I've never really had cable. Back in those "antenna days" I luxuriously enjoyed the major networks to the best of my ability (some had some serious static & were nearly worthless to try & watch). I did own quite a few VHS & some DVDs (I'm so old school 😂), though sometimes getting a movie "fresh off the rack", & "straight out of the theater" worked out well too.

Incidentally, the lines from these songs, which are sticking out so much to me, are similar to another song, which I heard on the radio this past Sunday; however, I'm bummed because I didn't think to pull out my smartphone & use my Sound Hound App to learn the title & artist. What I considered while I listened to that song on Sunday was its similar beat to this song, which I've owned for years (likely since its release).

It's so important for each of us to be ourselves, our own style, our own person - even when that "person" includes a pinch of awkward along the way. It's so important for each of us to take a moment, to slow down, to notice the "little extra". It's in those extra moments that all of the grandiose happens...All the best that we're "wishing" would be happening all of the time...Through all of what we're already doing...All. The. Time.

It's because of that focus of staying true to self that is the biggest reason why I'm noticing these songs so much. Be attentive, & also, be yourself. Stick to what makes you, you - reach far into those things which matter most, & dive further into them - that will help to create all of the successes & the best, most meaningful connections; all that is truly meant. to. be.

Maybe these are the reasons why these songs have been sticking out lately. 😊😎😜
