Too Lost In Lighting

Lord I hope you forgive me/For livin' my life this way/Yeah, tonight I ride the lightning/To my final restin' place
- Eric ChurchIf you haven't picked up on it, I listen to my iPod in an ADD like fashion. When my library takes the form of shuffle, I love that I can go from Run DMC to Jamey Johnson within moments. Occasionally I get lucky and I rediscover a track that might have been lost in my scary labyrinth of music.
This afternoon in between classes I was taken aback by Eric Church's "Lightning." "Lighting" is both understated and complex, force feeding the listener a succinct image of a man walking to his death. With the image in my head for the rest of the afternoon, while slightly disturbing (an execution), I walked around astounded by how vivid that image became as the hours drew on.
It's now eight at night and while I have moved on, it still amazes me how lost one can become in a song...and how much I adore the shuffle function on my iPod.
