Find Yourself, cruising through the highway of life !!

Listening to western music while at work kinda keeps me going... well, thats not true... precisely, it keeps me from sleeping :D The past 27 hours has been nothing less than "happening" (read in your mind as "nowhere close to "happening" :P) !! I've been at work doing some monotonous coding in C. On listening to some random music on online radio pandora, which has improved a lot in over 2 years' time that I had stopped listening to it, I felt a sudden urge to have a Texas-feel music... so, I switched to some country music... hours went by and within few seconds of the start of a song, the voice of the singer caught my attention... I had heard this voice before... now, my brain started working as an active multithreaded application.... yes, before the song ended, i finally figured... t'was the voice I had heard during the end credits of the animation movie "Cars" - which I watched 3 times in theater last year and many more times offscreen :)

The song was "Find Yourself" - about how one could feel about going out, going places and "exploring".... deeply profound too.... I loved the sound of it in the theaters itself... this was probably one of the very few movies for which I stayed until the cleaning people came in and begged me to leave :) What a wonderful song !! I am not a great writer but when good thoughts are spoken/written/sung/felt or even thought of, I do notice them !! :) I definitely try !!

Heres some info about the young country singer who sung it and here's the lyrics itself. The third and the last paragraphs are the same and that's the part that most impressed me. And there is this other song that I liked too. Its from the 90's, I guess. Its called "Life is a highway". I relate attitudes of drivers on road and generally "life on road" to our lives quite often. I could quickly connect to this song. Its on youtube and here's the lyrics. Enjoy !!

When you find yourself
In some far off place
And it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly
You're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself

When you make new friends in a brand new town
And you start to think about settlin' down
The things that would have been lost on you
Are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself
Yeah that's when you find yourself

Where you go through life
So sure of where you’re headin'
And you wind up lost and it's
The best thing that could have happened
‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself

When you meet the one
That you've been waitin' for
And she's everything that you want and more
You look at her and you finally start to live for some one else
And then you find yourself
That’s when you find yourself

When we go through life
So sure of where we're headin'
And we wind up lost and it's
The best thing that could have happened
‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that's when you find yourself
