I first heard of this song through the movie 500 Days of Summer. (if you've not seen it, i recommend it. you'll hear me say that a lot.) The song was not in the soundtrack of the film but it was mentioned. and my curiosity got the best of me. The soundtrack of the film is phenomenal. so i figured...I should look up that song they mentioned. and i loved it.
the moment i had with this song is a bit embarrassing. but I'm going to share it anyways. and i've never really told anyone this so...hope you appreciate what I have to say. During the month of April was I recovering from some very severe depression. I was learning to be happy, or "content" again. It was a difficult process. I somewhat made it. In any case...there was one day I had made plans with some friends. So that morning, I showered like I always do. Every time i shower i make this habit to listen to my iPad or iPod. I make a playlist and put it on shuffle and get cleaned up. the very last song that came on after I got out of the shower was this particular song. I believe at the time I was thinking..."I deserve to be happy. I can be happy if I want to. I will have fun and be happy. and I will listen to happy music." so after I dressed, i was still trying to dry my hair but...when this song came on, I was dancing. I was just spinning around and around. I was laughing. I was enjoying my time alone. my solitude. and I let all the sorrows and anger I had go. by just spinning. and i thought of this one line from a different song by a band called Sigur Ros. "The whole world a blur. but you are standing."
as odd as it is to listen to one song and refer to another in one's mind, it makes sense. at least to me. I'm an odd thinker. or so I've been told.
