A lot of people don't even know who they are, and to be honest, I was among those people until I realized they created one of my favorite songs. It's called "What's Up?", which is the meaning behind the title of this blog. You may not think you recognize this song until you hear it; it's the song that sings, "And I said, 'hey yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah...what's going on?" It's incredibly catchy, probably to the point of reciting it for the rest of the day. The thing is, though, I love it for its underrated lyrics.
Looking beyond the chorus reads another message, and these are my favorite lines:
Twenty-five years I'm alive here still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar.
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?
For whatever reason, these lyrics speak to me and cause me to replay this song daily. Maybe the theme I receive from this is that sometimes, life spins so fast and can seem uncontrollable. We were so focused on one thing until we realized we greatly ignored and maybe even ruined something else. As foolish humans, we need to take the time to stop whatever we're doing, take a good look around us, and ask a simple question.
What's up?
