excitement...


I'm just on a roll with songs lately... but really, our lives revolve around them.  A song can spark our brains like nothing else.   A song takes us back in time to a memory, a smell, a feeling.  Songs write a soundtrack to our life.  Some make us smile.  Some make us laugh.  Some make us excited.  Some make us cry.  They all make us feel.

This song was one that was suggested by a friend.  For whatever reason, when i first listened to the album i put it aside, stuck in my musical ways perhaps.  I wasn't ready for it.  Later i revisited those songs again and they just struck a chord.  Not sure why i was so blind before.  Unexplainable really.  But now is now.  And then was then.  And i love this band.  The music is ridiculously happy and upbeat.  It's something i can listen to while jogging, driving, or while out on the mountain.  And this song above the others just hits me.  The play on words notwithstanding... i dig it.  ONSs are all about the excitement... but that excitement wanes when morning breaks.  WoS and a PLD perhaps.  But the name of the song, 'One Life Stand' reminds me of that excitement but in the sense of forever.  And that makes me smile.  Adventures forever...
