Yes, I know I've talked about this song before.

Every time I hear this song my heart sort of explodes into motion, my stomach flutters and I grin like I'm a bit daft. It's not a great song. It's very run of the mill, actually, but I can't help but just feel this overwhelming joy crash through me. I have no idea why. Yes, this is one of the first songs I remember hearing (my Dad playing it on Sunday morning, singing along to it to my Mum, being allowed to wake up at 9 as a concession to the weekend, eating salted and peppered boiled eggs that still retain their shape after being sliced, crunching down on hot as fuck toast in our pajamas). Yes, it's upbeat pop song meant to make you happy. But it isn't spectacular enough to inspire such a reaction, only, it does.

I'm hoping for good things this year- I'm grateful for 2009 (it wasn't awesome, but it was alright), but I'm ready for more this year.
