Arrgh!
Earworm.
So, to make a simple tale convoluted, when I bought my “smart” TV, it came with some streaming links to things like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu. Stuff I recognized. But it also came with a link to iHeartRadio.
Well in my enthusiasm for my new TV I tried out the iHeartRadio and found the Coffee Shop Radio station. I liked it. I found out that I can listen from my little netbook that I take to school every day, too. So, I’ll put it on low volume while I’m at work measuring seeds; it’s great soft background noise while I’m doing mindless work and it won’t offend anyone else in the lab who happens to not have their own headphones on (I tried headphones, but I do have to move around a lot and so the cord kept getting in the way).
As it would happen, it plays the song, Collide, by Howie Day, quite often. I find it very catchy, and I rather like it so it’s no hardship. But, eventually I decided I had to know what Howie was actually saying as the first verse and the chorus was about all I could decipher. Now I can’t get the tune out of my head.
One might say, my lab was quiet, you know. It’s made a first impression and I find I’m scared to know it’s always on my mind. Although not all the song words rhyme. Out of the doubt that filled my mind, I some how find, Howie Day and I collide.
Collide
-Song by Howie Day
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You’re barely waking
And I’m tangled up in you
Yeah
Where I follow, you’ll go
I worry I won’t see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find, you and I collide
You make a first impression
I’ve found I’m scared to know
I’m always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find, you and I collide
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide
