Playing Small continued …

Last night as I was falling asleep there was a commercial for Budweiser Select, with a GREAT song playing in the background, rap and Indian guitar (or some sort of string instrument). I grabbed a pen, wrote “Budweiser” and the few of the words that I could make out and found it this morning. The universe is trying to tell me something.

The song is by the Chemical Brothers and it’s called Galvanize. Over and over they say, “Don’t hold back.” (If I could figure out how to embed MP3’s I’d put it up for everyone, but I can’t. It’s worth getting!)

Galvanize
(Don’t hold back)
cuz you woke up in the morning with initiative to move,
so why make it harder

(Don’t hold back)
If you think about it so many people do, be cool man, look smarter,

(Don’t hold back)
and you shouldn’t even care, about the losers in the air,
and their crooked stares,

(Don’t hold back)
cuz there’s a party over here, so you might aswell be here,
where the people care,

The world is holding back
the time has come to…

The world is holding back
the time has come to…

The world is holding back
the time has come to…

Galvanize,

(Don’t hold back)
If you think about it too much you may stumble,
trip up fall on your face,

(Don’t hold back)
You think it is time you get up fresh style
like a sit-up come on keep pace

(Don’t hold back)
Put apprehension on the back burner,
let it sit, don’t even get it lit,

(Don’t hold back)
Get involved with the jam,
don’t be a prick, hot chick

(Don’t hold back)

The World

The World
The time has come to –
Push the button

The World
The time has come to –
Push the button

The World
The time has come to –
Push the button

The World

My finger is on the button
My finger is on the button
My finger is on the button
Push the button
The time has come to…
