Kaiser Chiefs - Boxing Champ



Artist: Kaiser Chiefs
Song: Boxing Champ
Album: Yours Truly, Angry Mob
Year: 2007

"The man I became is a tragic bore, and he's not a boxing champ anymore. If there's one thing I've learnt it's to run away, at least I enjoy what I do today. And I thank you very much that I do."


*A CONFESSION: Today I had no idea what song I should post, so while I was thinking, I began to have these reminiscences about a trip I took to New York and some stuff I could have done differently while I was there, and the first scene that came to mind was... well, it is not important as it is just being mentioned because that situation was what came to my mind and I'm sure there are so many other situations that could have come to mind that I wish I had done differently not just in NY but in general, guess I'm rambling a bit, the thing is I'd rather keep that to myself, ha!... The big picture here is I believe that even the most insignificant action we do somehow ends up affecting our lives, perhaps in a greater way than we originally thought it could have. There are decisions we make that shape the road, there are key people who modify our outcome by their actions affecting ours, different situations with different people and why not, even coincidences. Oh man, I'm digressing big time here... What I'm trying to say is that I try to rule my life so that before doing something I think about all the possible scenarios, or at least the ones I'm able to see and of course the shorter the term, the easier to see those scenarios. A moment of bravery could signify both, the joy or the regret. A moment of frailty/uncertainty could signify doom. A helping hand could signify salvation. And a coincidence could signify the most wonderful thing that could have ever happened to you... In the end it all comes down to this, the consequences of our actions will always reach us, no matter how small or how big they have been, sooner or later they will catch us, for better or for worse...

...And after all this thinking, I recalled which song had been the most relevant of the day, and what do you know! It was a really short song that talks about the decisions and outcomes. I guess my subconscious mind works in mysterious ways...

Finally, no wonder why my favorite movie is 'A Bronx Tale'. How did I find it? A coincidence... What is it about? well, you'll have to see it, but more or less of what this post is about.

P.S. Just a random question... Does it always have to be about a girl?






And remember... If you liked it, buy it...
