lyrics make the world go 'round.

Tonight I had to complete a 50 point (as in 50 points of your entire grade..)homework assignment. Blah. I don't want to leave Auburn, but I will not miss pointless assignments that don't benefit my reason for taking the course at all.

Since I can never focus in my apartment, I came to the library. Oh, Ralph Brown Draughon Library. It can be a social scene, if not careful. That's why I have my area in the library. I always go there. It's my focus area. I plugged in my earphones and pulled up Pandora (my current obsession, for reals). I absolutely love, love Pandora. It introduces you to so many new artists and exposes you to new music. It knocks me out of my comfort zone on my iPod.

Pandora brought back old memories tonight. Stone Temple Pilots came on and I zoned out to high school again. Mrs. Henderson's Spanish 3 class to be exact. She was no Mr. Hitson, but Senora Henderson never cease to amaze us with her shoes incessantly slapping her heels as she walked up and down the aisles always babbling on about something. My only sanity in that class was Lindsay Epton (thanks so much Sunshine). We had bonding sessions over Stone Temple Pilots that were often interrupted by Senora. Mainly one lyric stuck out to us:

If you should die before me ask if you could bring a friend.

It seemed so monumental at the time of our discussions of that song. I wrote it on any note that we passed to each other. We had probably 12 people in that class, so imagine our attempts at sneaky note passing.

It strikes me now, though. We loved that lyric for the meaning. Lyrics are incredible pieces of writing. It's an art form and often only liked when it has a catchy tune, unfortunately. I love lyrics that stick to you and make you think. Lyrics that catch you are the best.

So now the one lyric that has my heart (for a reason that will remain nameless..)
Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars

To sum my ramble up neatly: Lyrics make the world go 'round.

simple believer.
