My Birthday Song of This Year

My Heart Sings - 311

It's a beautiful song.
Who wouldn't want their heart to sing?

I guess, our heart sings as we feel good.
As we feel good about life.
Feel good about our own life and other people's life.
People that we know and care for.

We feel good about our own life when we appreciate what we're doing with it and in it and what we're getting from it.
Appreciating good feelings, bad feelings, and in-between feelings in life.

Appreciating good feelings or good times is easy, but necessary to caress our spirit.
Appreciating bad feelings or bad times is not easy, but also necessary to build our will and perseverance.
Appreciating in-between feeling is tricky, but most necessary to develop our skill in decision making.

So, they're all necessary.
They're all part of life.
It's a need for us to learn to appreciate each those feelings/times.
So we can appreciate, and enjoy, our life.
Because it's one of those things that we have to do ourselves.
If we don't enjoy our life... then, who will?

All of the above seem quite a cliche, but I think they're relevant to anyone celebrating a birthday.

They also seem to have nothing to do with my birthday song of this year, but they are, to me.

Talking about a beautiful song isn't all about the lyrics, the harmony, the artist...
All that is already so obvious.
Wanna emphasize on how good the song is?
Talking will never be enough!
Play it.
Listen.
It's good.
Yeah...

What's more on talking about a beautiful song, is the effect that the song brings to our heart.
It's on the way that the song relates to our life, and a good relation is always a good thing.
That way, the song becomes part of the soundtrack of our life.

I think I'd been lucky enough to knew someone so special that makes my heart sings, almost as awesome as described in this beautiful song.
I haven't been that lucky again though, for quite some time now... :P
But, like everyone does, I had plenty of other times when my heart does sing.
That's my relation to the song.
That's beautiful.

My heart sings.
Yes.
Awrite!
What a beautiful feeling.

Thank you 311.

I'm glad to be just another one who've been appreciating the band since quite the beginning and down the road.
Bring it on... :)
