One day on the way to work I was listening to the radio and I heard the tail end to this song. There was something about the lyrics I heard, in those few ending phrases that got my attention. Well I can't tell you the mission I went on to find the song. But when I did and I heard it in its entirety I was floored by the words.

So simple and so true. It was like I could have written them myself. I was shocked. The phrases or so simplistic. Its not a deeply "profound" song by any stretch of the imagination. But its words are so deep none the less. I found myself imagining a place on by the ocean. I was there...waiting for something bigger than what got me to that place at that time in the first place.

I was astounded by how the word imagery was so revelatory to my present state. I must of heard this song like 100 times in one sitting. Again and again it played. Opening up my mind to the idea, no the recognition that what I was "waiting" for was MY proverbial ship.

And whats most fascinating is that herein lies the inevitable message...hope. Hope that somewhere out there that something I've been waiting for will eventually come to me. But I suppose what scares me the most is the question of what will that "thing", so long hoped for be like once it arrives. Will it be what I expect? Will I recognize it as the "thing" I've been waiting and hoping for? Will all this make sense?

More questions. But until I get an answer, any answer...I'll just enjoy the music.
