Take My World Apart

I wrote this last week.......and I was going to edit it before putting it on my blog. My writing mentor says the art of writing is not saying too much of too little. And, for me balance is difficult fo me, in more ways then one! However, I'm not sure what I'll change. I know I oought to, but for now, this is it. . . . Like life, the next step to the editing proccess, is unknown to me.

Jars of Clay is probably in the top 5 of my favorite bands. Their first album is my favorite of all time. So, I searched for three songs included in that particular album. Anyway, I searched for the ‘official’ Jars of Clay music video. However, I couldn’t find it. Maybe the group didn’t make on for this particular song. Or, again, it’s a sign of my YouTube illiteracy.

So, I chose to download someone’s home made video of the song. This was early in the morning, 2am. I have the slow version of cable internet – someone just explained the different speeds to me, again, and I can’t keep that straight. Astounding! I’m known for remembering details upon details. Many of them useless. –

I went to bed. This morning, the thing was downloaded, ready for my sleepy eyes to view. The video was a PowerPoint with the lyrics. Ok. Not an actual music video, but I’ll be able to read the lyrics again. Pretty good.

I knew what the song was about. “Worlds Apart.” Not to difficult to infer the meaning, just by the title. And, I claim the album as my favorite album in my 27 years of life. I ought to know, huh?

I don’t know. I’m 27, for goodness sake. And I was reminded of this fact as I stared at the lyrics. Wow. I had no idea the meaning of these words. And, frighteningly, I still don’t. I’d love to think my world has been ‘taken apart’ for the last time. But, I think that would mean Jesus would come take me home, which would be great. Bur, I’m pretty sure I’m not done here yet.

I’m going to go look up Icarus. Who is he?!
