freedom of spirit

current song: The Cranberries - Dreams

I like this song so much more now... Funny how that works. A song gets a new meaning and suddenly it's good again.

It's like listening to The Strokes that summer. I'd heard them and dismissed them; they were overplayed and overrated. But then I heard them in someone else's car and they suddenly meant summer nights and for some reason I couldn't get enough of them.

Do you ever hear a verse that just calls out to you, or a chorus, and you look up the lyrics and it's not as good in its entirety? Like... if you could have taken those few phrases, that sentence or two, and built a new song around them, it would be perfection...

I love conversations when they're good. When they go well... When you say something and you say another and the thoughts just tumble out there... And then you watch in amazement as the same thing happens for the person you're talking to. It doesn't always happen like that... sometimes you struggle for the right combination of words to trigger that torrential overflow of thought... But sometimes it just comes to you. And all you have to do is soak it all in.

What is the key to my motivation? Will I find it before I am consumed by apathy?

Perhaps... until then, there is work to be done.
