Music as the Soundtrack to Life

I've been listening to music before work a lot more in the last few weeks. I usually listen to news radio so I can find out what's going on, but let's be honest, that's a pretty depressing way to start your day.

So lately I've been listening to music. And I've taken it a step further: I've become one of those people with headphones on while I walk into the office...I know...not the most social thing to do, but who needs awkward elevator interaction anyway?

Anyhow, I've realized that walking into the office while listening to music I really enjoy is a much better way to get my day started. So I think from now on I'll go through the routine of opening up the office, and turning on lights and computers, with the accompaniment of good tunes.

Who needs social interaction anyhow.

Just in case you're curious, my morning routine lately has included this song:

Mostly for the following lyrics:

But I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain

and I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands

And see the world hanging upside down

You can understand dependence

When you know the maker's hand

So make your siren's call

And sing all you want

I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now

And I need to know how

To live my life as it's meant to be

I find it motivational. I really, really like the line "you can understand dependence when you know the maker's hand." It strikes a chord, and in a nerdy way, I wanna delve deeper into the meaning of it. Anyone with me?

Happy Tuesday everyone.
