TAM-MY-MUSIC, MY-LIFE

"A melody is like seeing someone for the first time, the physical attraction, sex...but then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics, they're story, who they are underneath. It's the combination of the two that makes it magic" - Sophie

LIVING THE GOOD LIFE

*click on mouse*
Make sure you tune your volume to the maximum, loud enough to wake up the dead mummies buried in Egypt (what am I crapping?)

*Close your eyes....
Now imagine yourself standing at the edge of the most beautiful mountain (think Lake District in UK)...:)


Now scream your lungs out to the opening of the track below.*

Oooh....oh...oh...
Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in a city near Picadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

I say, "Oh got this feeling you can't fight"
Like the city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life, a good good life
(Hell ya! When I'm feeling good, I believe that life is good!)

To my friends in New York
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for this past 2 years or so
From China to Paris to Colorado
Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's issues that don't out
We are God of stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?

When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over 
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick

Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about...

The first verse:
Waking up in weird places not knowing where you are heading is like living life without knowing what will hit you. 
The song is about taking the journey in life and learning to live with whenever that comes your way; remember to embrace it with happiness, suck in the happiness and go on living!  
Because at the end of the day, we are living a good life! And we should be grateful.


It's a song you sing at the moment in life where you feel like you are floating on cloud nine, where you feel so happy that nothing can get in the way to kill that spirit. 


The second verse (My favourite verse):
"Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's issues that don't out
We are God of stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?
When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over 
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

And even if there are issues, well, that's just life because life is no fun without one or two bumpy rides on the way, right? Yes, we are God of stories, We live to tell, most of the time, we complain and vent...but seriously, think about it...we are living pretty good lives...
I have nothing to complain about, perhaps more to share. :)

Basically, I love this song because it reminds me to be happy and to appreciate the good life I'm living.

Themes of freedom and traveling around without any worries are encapsulated in the lyrics and listening to it just give me a sense of freedom. 
When you want to isolate yourself from the crap that's going on around you, try listening to this song. Haha.

(Still my favourite country band)

So this song was originally sang by Rascal Flatts but I'm currently addicted to Tyler Ward's version man!
Awesome remake. Check them out!
Till next time!

With Lotsa Love
