Artist: Brandon Flowers
Song: Swallow It
Album: Flamingo
Year: 2010
"Take your medicine and crawl before you walk, think it through before you open your mouth to talk, be an advocate of joy, find your little heart's desire and follow it..."
"Don't be afraid, this is your year, it's gonna be alright, you're a performer, just take your time, but not too much time..."
*A REFLECTION: I think the meaning of this song is quite simple, if you want to reach or succeed at something, you have to go step by step, be patient but at the same time have the guts to seize an opportunity.
Speaking of patience, I think is a virtue that just few people possess, especially these days, where the majority seeks quick results, everything must be immediate, always thinking on the short run or otherwise is a failure, but this "vision" leads people to do things without any value, not for them or for anyone else, as they are just seeking the easy way of doing things, and often the easy way is not the right or the lasting one. If you want something to happen and to last you have to do it with love, you have to be righteous, prudent and patient, as long as you know that what you are doing is taking you somewhere... Finally let's not confuse some terms as there is a big difference between being patient and being a coward or even worse, lazy...
And remember... If you liked it, buy it...
