To say that my little boy (Hive account@judethedude) is passionate about this song, would be the understatement of the year! He plays it again and again and he knows the lyrics from beginning to end! So needless to say, whether it is my choice or not, this song is on repeat on our sound system on a relatively regular basis. To be honest, I have always enjoyed the track, but because it plays so much here and commercially - I stopped paying attention to the lyrics. It was only when the other night, Jude requested that we sing it together - well DAMN!

I am a BIG lyrics girl, but would be a liar if I did not admit that certain tracks escape my attention and this was one of them - but having to sing it with my little man, brought the details to the foreground and suddenly I found myself completely blown away with inspiration - not only because of the song itself - but because of my 8 year olds ability to appreciate lyrics on that level. He may not understand every little thing, but the songs energy speaks for itself and the mere fact that he has the maturity to appreciate something like that over some of the monumental CRAP that the kids DO listen to nowadays was pretty darn impressive!
