That one song.

Sometimes you can be totally out of it, just wasting your way through life, feeling like a rotting corpse, atrophying in the box you call a home, and you just can't do anything about it. You try everything: exercise, eating, kicking the cat, but nothing seems to work. You just can't wake from you're  waking dream. Then that song comes on. The one song, the one that means so much  to you, the one that has so many memories attatched.

It's like a kick to the face. But it feels good. Suddenly you see everything around you. You wonder why you're sitting around. You go to do something profound. You're ready to change your life, give the world a kick in the ass. You want to screw the police, master western philosophy, study eastern religions and start the next Elephant 6.

Then 5 minutes later the feeling is gone.
