Moment of Surrender

STOP:

Press play.

I don’t expect anyone to listen to all 7:24 of this track. In fact, I know that everyone’s got busy days and places to go and sidewalks to shovel and beaches to lay on. I understand that you may have to call your mom or your significant other, you have to go to work or to the gym or walk your chinchilla. I have to do these things, too. I understand.

Sometimes it’s hard to find 7:24 to do things. There are days when I can hardly find a moment to find a moment, let alone take a moment to find a moment to find a moment. The many stoplights that we must halt at, the bathroom breaks, the continuous pandemonium that is the chocolate syrup drizzled on our lives, these things take time. There are only 24 hours in each day, and we’ve all got a lot of scrapbooking to do. Such is life.

But if you do, fair people, perchance find 7:24 of your day to be unscathed and you are looking for something inspiring, or calming, or just something new…please, listen to this song.

I know that not everyone out there is the greatest fan of Bono, or maybe you’re not down with U2. I know that Kelly Clarkson and Rihanna steal a lot of space on a lot of iPods. I understand. I just purchased U2’s new album yesterday and have had it on repeat ever since — and this song is so beautiful to me. I want to share it with you!

We set ourselves on fire
A girl could not deny her
It’s not if I believe in love
If love believes in me
Oh, believe in me.

It’s long, but it really only takes a minute to take your mind off of things.
