If I Could Be Like That...


I'm really good at interpreting songs and making them fit into my life by how I hear them. What they mean to me, could be 100% different to somebody else.

That's the thing I love about music. How easily you can hear it in a different light.. How it could mean to somebody that isn't you.

This song holds a lot of meaning in my heart. It's a childhood song I use to listen to with my mom and dad all the time...
So many memories come from this song.
And even then, it still fits in with my life today on a deeper level.
"He spends his nights in California."
That lyric is relevant to my life currently. And if I kept on with that story, this song wouldn't have any relativity to me until it gets to "She spends her days up in the north park, watching the people as they pass. And all she wants is just a little piece of this dream. Is that too much to ask? With a safe home, and a warm bed. On a quiet little street. All she wants is just that something to hold onto. That's all she needs."
Then it's back on that story.

I know this will be difficult for some people to understand. But it's how my life works when it comes to music.
I interpret each song by line of lyric, and apply each lyric to my life.
Though most songs I listen to, don't need any interpretation and are fairly self-explanatory.


I don't know. Just some thoughts of today.
