Total Life Forever - Foals
I was just listening to one of the BBC's 'Essential Mixes' with Pendulum taking the reins. I love these essential mixes, especially the drum and bass sets. Triple J do a few here as well (Shock One being a sexy sexy example) but the BBC can simply grab the larger European dj's due to vicinity....
I can still listen to them though so I'm happy...
About 20 minutes into their set, Pendulum slowed it down for a bit and played a sample of 'Total Life Forever' by Foals.
You know those songs that just always get you pumped, happy and excited every time?? That's this song for me. I remember listening to this album on the bus on my way to work. Total Life Forever would always come on just as I got off and started walking the ten minutes to the shop and I must have looked like quite the dickhead singing and shuffling along the whole way. You don't care though, because you're just in THAT good of a mood.
I realised that those are my favourite times during the day. I am happiest listening to my tunes on the bus, train or plane to somewhere. Walking and taking in the scenery. I like the journey much more than I like the arrival.
I guess this is a form of procrastination, that would explain why it's taken me nearly a decade before I am even close to starting uni.
Is it wrong to be anxious about reaching the destination?? What if you get there and you miss the events opportunities, freedoms and general hopefulness that comes with the journey itself???? Right now I have so many options and choices, the term 'world is your oyster' really seems to fit. I'm slightly scared of being unhappy again when I get there. What if the oyster I end up with doesn't have pearl in it?
It's thoughts like this that make me want to stop worrying about the future and concentrate on right now, and right now I have a massive smile on my face listening to Foals...........
