Say goodbye, and just fly away

This semester/year seems to have me utterly beat. It's been phenomenally shitty, so to speak. I am at my knees in complete defeat. 

...interestingly enough, I really didn't intend for all of that to rhyme. 

I've concluded life would be unbearable without two things: music and booze. I know squat about Nietzsche, but I love what he said about music. Then I've gotta hand it to Brick, the misguided character from the Williams play. 

Something I absolutely love doing is finding songs that express things in life or emotions experienced. Wailing to that one song that speaks volumes about a gloomy vibe when you can't, or dancing wildly with the tune that emulates unimaginable joy that does wonders: perfect. 

Which also brings me to say, driving alone in one's car is the absolutely perfect place to perform the described actions (but please be safe in doing so - this is the road, for crying out loud.) Sometimes I imagine cars are like confessionals where people can let loose taxing emotions and unbearable feelings, both the good and bad. I know I do when I'm in good ol' Carla. 

So I'm on my way to everyone's favorite SLC, and what comes up on my ipod? Why, my all time favorite Maroon 5 song, of course. It's probably one my favorite songs ever, even. I immediately begin jamming out in my car. I can seriously listen to this anytime during any emotion I might be feeling. Super stoked I aced that one paper? Rock out in celebration to this song, of course. Indescribably depressed, lonely and then that nervously-nearing-empty handle of rum  gleams at you from its corner? Why, just wail as loud as humanly possible with this song. 

Words can't describe how much I adore this. Maybe if I said I'd probably go gay just for Adam's voice in this song, would that help? 

...wait, what. 

I absolutely love how the end of the first chorus goes: 

There must be someplace here that only you and I could go, so I can show you how I -- dream away, everyday, try so hard to disregard the rhythm of the rain that drops and coincides with the beating of my heart. 

Then the second chorus pulls a fast one with: 

There must be someplace here that only you can I could go, so I can show you how I -- feel, feel, feel. 

Oh man. Gotta love it. 

Maroon 5, you guys make everything better.
