Great bands come and go. The beatles, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin; these are just a few bands who no longer perform, but my question to you is, does it really matter? One great song can change your life. To some that may seems a little crazy, but I believe it. For those of you who know me, know that I love Switchfoot. And as sad as it may be, I know that they will one day be no more. They will stop performing, stop creating new music, stop being a band. Yet again I ask, does it really matter? Although I have never met switchfoot ( the members- Jon, Tim, Chad, Jerome, and drew) there music has had an everlasting effect on my life.
I could list quote after quote of lyrics that hold such powerful meanings to me, but I will not. Except to the one song that forever changed me. "Meant to live" With rocking guitars and soulful lyrics, this song is without a doubt had the most profound effect on my life. It has opened my eyes and guided me to where I am today.
You see, you may think your polo shirts, and gucci sunglasses have meaning or define you. While I must admit I love polo clothes, they do not define me. The size of my house ( the one which I currently don't have) doesn't matter. How many triathlons or races I win matters not. Life is none of these things. Life is about love. Life is about the people in the our lives, the relationships we have. It is about the constant stuggle we face daily, yet, we still see hope at the end of the tunnel. "We were meant to live for so much more. Have we lost ourselves?" Such a strong statement of passion. Money, success, ambition, I do not devalue there place in society. But remember, at the end of the day you are the one who looks into the mirror. Are you happy with what you see? Are you proud of who you become? Don't get caught up in the material only to lose sight of the intangible.
Carpe Diem, Always.
