Song: When You're On Top
Album: Red Letter Days
Year: 2002
"I want to wake up and just start running, into a ditch or straight up a mountain. I want to get where no one's been gettin’, make it deeper than hell or make it higher than heaven..."
"...I need someone whose price hasn’t been met, when everybody’s disappearing by the minute. There isn’t anyone left I haven’t meet yet, well I remember when they hadn’t gotten to you yet..."
*'NOBODY GIVES A CRAP' KIND OF COMMENT: I discovered this song through a music channel, so no big deal, everyone gets to do that. But apart from the lyrics, which I really really like because I can relate to them, this song has something "special" as every single time I hear this song it reminds of that February 1st, 2003 Saturday morning, and it is weird because when I close my eyes, while listening to this song, I can almost relive those moments. I was in my room, sitting in front of my computer and I was listening to this song, and I decided to turn on the TV to see if there was something on that could entertain me, and so I was surfing through the channels (but still listening to this song) and I happened to run into CNN and there was this fuzz about something and it turned out to be the news about the Space Shuttle Columbia incident, about how it had disintegrated when it was re-entering Earth's atmosphere and they were focusing a great deal of their attention on this Ilan Ramon guy, who happened to be the first Israeli astronaut and a name, strangely, I will never forget. I guess I was kind of shocked by the news, taking into account I was only 14 years old when this happened and I suppose that was the way people felt back then, when the 'Challenger' incident took place. But what do I know, right?
And remember... If you liked it, buy it...
