It's Not Half As Bad As You Think It Is

    Occasionally you hear a song and it becomes yours instantaneously. Gets lodged in your head and you find yourself singing it without realizing it, like a theme song running just under the threshold of all the other noise in your life.

    Well, that's what it feels like for me with this song. I hear it in my sleep, when I'm in the shower, sometimes even when I'm listening to other music. In particular, it's the chorus that's resounding. And I think it's trying to tell me something. I mean, even though it's not necessarily how I feel right now, it's nudging me toward how I ought to feel.

    To be honest, I hesitate to use the words "ought" and "feel" in the same sentence. At least, I would never tell someone else what they ought to feel, or that they ought not to feel something. I mean, if that's how you feel, then that's how you feel. It'll only drive you insane if you tell yourself otherwise.

    On the other hand, sometimes you do need to be reminded of certain truths, and that's what I think this song is trying to do. You're gonna have to listen to see what I mean.
