“Cath…” by Death Cab for Cutie, I’m currently in love with this song. It is actually the song currently playing. It has frequently woken me up by being my alarm in the morning or by keeping me entertained while I’m driving. I find that the lyrics of this song are so well written.
Although this may not be at all what the Ben Gibbard had in mind while composing this song, I find it reminds me how in life romantic fairy-tales are only limited to a few. Sometimes, people like Cath chose to follow a path, where they convince themselves they will find happiness. But, we should remember that happiness can be found is so many ways, not only the stereotyped ideology that seems to be every so often drilled in our minds on how relationships should be (whether romantic or friendship).
I find that everyone has a great power at convincing themselves what they think might be right for them. Sometimes it is not until things are done that we realize what we have done or almost succeeded in doing to ourselves.
