(The Strokes – Someday)
Today’ blog entry is short and sweet. The importance of this song in music and my life is phenomenal…it gives me strength on my darkest days. I’ve loved this band over half my life, ever since their help with reviving garage and indie rock in the early 2000’s…thanks to this album. But, this song particularly just deepened my love of NYC and everything this single made me feel.
This song was the soundtrack to my life years ago…when I was young and decided to pick up my life and move to New York City…I had never even been on a plane…let alone a city of this of size. But I dived in and immediately drowned in overwhelming situations but loved every minute.
That city changed my life and so did this song…and after each listen of it, I’m reminded of the inspiration I got from it when I was unsure of where I was going. But I’m glad The Strokes were there to help as the city ate me alive and spit me out…only to make me stronger. It’s a big reason I’m the way I am today.
