This is a song for you, far away, far away...
I was listening to "Secret O' Life" by James Taylor today, and it reminded me of this one time when i was really sick and that song was inextricably stuck in my head. It was in the middle of the night, and i woke up every hour and ten minutes (exactly) to do my sick thang. You know what i mean. Anyway, every time i woke up,, which ended up being like five times, i'd be singing this song to myself, and i remember thinking it was so bizarre. If you've heard the song before, you might know what i mean; if not, i'm reprinting the lyrics here. I have no idea whether this will be funny or not, but i'll risk it. After all, if you're good little girls and boys and follow directions, you'll have already been about the business of freaking up your own day, so it won't matter if this fails. Anyway, just read these lyrics, and picture me booting repeatedly while singing this to myself.
"Secret O' Life" by James Taylor
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There ain't nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill
But since we're on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride
The secret of love is in opening up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
But don't let that stand in your way
'Cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since we're only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Give us a smile
Isn't it a lovely ride?
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
Now the thing about time is that time isn't really real
It's just your point of view
How does it feel for you?
Einstein said he could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race
Some kind of lovely ride
I'll be sliding down
I'll be gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
Isn't it a lovely ride?
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
There. I hope you enjoyed it. And i hope you can one day have memories like this of your very own.
