We were talking last night about country music and about my general distaste for it (although there are some noticeable exceptions..the Dixie Chicks rock my world for instance, (and if you don't know what that brilliant song refers to, I highly recommend the documentary Shut up and Sing), and on a lighter note, this is a really fun song to run to- fun video too (discovered while drying my hair at the gym as CMT played in the mirror) However I'm not what I would call a country music fan.
So today when I went to the gym where in the locker room the TV is always turned to CMT, I was not exactly tuned in, so I was surprised when these lyrics penetrated my earnest obsessing.
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking about what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count cause you can't get it back
"Hmmmm....", I thought , "well how about that." I then hopped onto the treadmill whereupon my iPod offered up it's 2c:
This is the time of your life
What you gonna do with it? - Don't fool with it
This is the time of your life
You better face it, don't waste it
Don't think about the future, don't think about the past
There's just this moment, better make it last
You better get it right 'cause
This is the time of your life
It aint country but it is one of my favourite songs of all time:Check out the video below.
I think it's cool when God gets creative with sending you messages.
