Don't Dream It's Over

I can't believe I'm writing twice in one day. So, I'm a big Crowded House Fan. Unfortunately I never made it to one of their concerts but I did hear (from a little bird) that they (minus the drummer) are touring soon. I did make it to two Neil Finn concerts when I was living in Minneapolis and he was amazing in concert!

So, why do I bring up Crowded House? Well I recently was talking to a friend of mine about the meaning of their hit song, "Don't Dream It's Over". I guess you could say that everyone has a different story that comes to their mind when they hear this song. That is really what songs are...life stories set to music. Whenever I hear this song I am instantly taken back to a certain time in my life. A time when I was more optimistic about my future. A time when I really believed I could still be or do anything that I set my mind to. A time in my life when all of the signs in my life were pointing towards failure but a passion in my heart knew that my life was just beginning. This song is about courage, strength, and love. It kicks you in the butt and make you want to get up on your roof and shout "I'm not giving up!". No matter how hard life kicks and hits me I refuse to give in to despair. I will fight to dream and fight to keep people away who want to ruin my dreams. So, now I'm 31 and I'm trying to believe that I have better life chapters ahead...that I still have more time to dream.
