Whats in a song?

I have been thinking allot.
About this one particular song.
The Six Flags Theme song with the old dancing guy.
Its so weird I know.
But I have been thinking about this one particular line in that song.
This one little line.
These six little words.

For those of you who don't know the song it is an actual song with words.
Its "We Like To Party" by the Vengaboys.

So go ahead and look it up.
Google it.
Listen to it a couple times with the words.

That one line.
Did you find it?
Can you guess which one I'm thinking of?
Now before I tell you let me say this.

When you first heard that song with the lyrics whether it was a couple seconds ago or 5 years ago.
Did you pay attention to the lyrics?
Not just this song but any song.
One you hear on the radio or on you computer.
Do you actually pay attention to the lyrics?
The actual words that make up your favorite song?
I do.
What I discovered is that every single song tells a story.
Some more complex than others.
But its there.
So, when you hear a song do you really hear it?

Now, for those of you who guessed
"Happiness is Just around the corner"
Your correct.

Now, why is it important you ask?
Well, when I first heard that song with the lyrics I never realised this one line.
For so many years I listened to this song and missed it and its meaning.
Skipped right over it.
All of a sudden it hit me only 2 months ago.
In that song its says that "Happiness is just around the corner"
As if it is just so easy to reach.
It should be.
How easy would it be just to be to reach happiness and perfection by turning a corner?

So, next time you hear a random song on a radio or wherever...
remember to listen to it.


Remember that
and me.
