Destiny..do you believe?

Such Great Heights by, The Postal Service

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
True, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home


This song is another one I love by an amazing band called, The Postal Service. This song to me talks a lot about destiny. You have to ask yourself every once in awhile do you believe in fate, do things happen by chance? To some extent we must believe a little. Can you imagine if destiny was something people did not believe in? It would lead to so much over analyzing so much paranoia, and also would take away from some of the fun in life. While I believe many things happen for a reason, I am a firm believer that there are things that are just destine to be and there is no real explanation for them and this is one of the major aspects of life that keeps me, and I feel the rest of us, on our toes. How boring would life be if we could always explain every aspect of our lives? We need a little mystery

The second, and final point I would like to mention about this song is in the second to last verse when it says that everything looks perfect from far away. This verse is one that I think we should all incorporate into our lives. More often than not we all get caught up in the chaos, materialistic aspects, and general hustle and bustle of our everyday lives and never take the time to step away and take a good look at our lives. If we all took the time to step back, take a breather, while we will still have everyday woes, we will be able to appreciate how fortunate we are and realize that, while in the moment things might be stressful, on a whole life is pretty darn good.
