“Get up, Get up, Get up”
It is 1:23 am. After a long, hard day of working I am left wanting nothing but rest. However, I found this song. This song, with this wonderful piano and this wonderful voice.
And all in a moment I was revived. Revived with a sense of purpose and of passion. When all else fails, music can still play the concert of a lifetime to my heart.
“Where words fail, music speaks.” – Hans Christian Andersen
When I was in college, nearly a decade ago, I would sit and play piano in a dark rehearsal hall. As dark as that room was, it was such an illuminating experience for my life. I don’t mean to be melodramatic at all, but I cherish those times still to this day.
This song reminded me how much I cared about music back then, and how deeply rewarding just listening can be. Just listening. Just. Listen.
Long after I fall asleep tonight, I hope I hear “get up… get up… get up”.
