Okay, so if you've been following this blog for a while you know I get random sometimes. Welcome to another episode of Holly Randomized!
On my drive down to the conference I heard this song as I was breezing through radio stations, and it caught my attention. First because of the happy, bouncy music, but then the words grabbed me.
Lyrics:
...
How did we stay so long together?
When everybody, everybody said we never would
And just when I, I start to think they're right
That love has died...
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time?
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo
I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Some days I don't feel like trying
Some days you know I wanna just give up
When it doesn't matter who's right, fight about it all night
Had enough
You give me that look
"I'm sorry baby let's make up"
You do that thing that makes me laugh
And just like that...
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo
...
So what does this have to do with anything? Leave it to me to think of the most abstract meaning. It totally reminds me of my relationship with writing! When I start to feel down, feel like my writing is the worst it could possibly be, something happens that makes my heart beat again. It reminds me how much I LOVE writing. I remember how great it makes me feel, and it's all better again.
Some days you want to just give up, then you have this great idea -- maybe a really stellar paragraph or a shiny new idea -- and your heart pitter-patters again with that excitement, that love.
I'm right, aren't I? :D
Here's the music video, the band is Sugarland and the song's title is "Stuck Like Glue."

You're ABSOLUTELY right. :) There's nothing like the rush of getting a new idea.
LOVE it-- and so true.
I wouldn't have thought about writing right away, but you nailed it.
This is so true! That feeling of knowing you have something shiny and new...nothing compares. I <3 any post that combines writing and music. Gold star!
You would never suspect that a girl from the Caribbean would love country music, but I soooo do. And I love Sugarland!!! This is such a great song. And did they just fuse country and reggae? :O
Oh, and definitely, there are days and then there are days!
