I slacked off a little today with finding the lyrics that spoke to my soul. Nothing like being exhausted from a super active toddler to keep me from getting stuff done! But then, in the midst of a tantrum, I remembered...turn on some music and dance!
I love reggae. The music just speaks to my soul. I spent a year in New Zealand right after college and learned about Katchafire there. I hadn't really been exposed to much reggae at that point, but I loved Bob Marley and was a fan of popular reggae. In NZ, I didn't have an opportunity to see Katchafire live, but I did get in a Black Seeds show.
I love these lyrics because they resonate so well with me. Ever feel like the world is crumbling around you, only to hear an awesome song that totally gets your heart pumping? Next time that happens, DANCE! Dancing brings joy to my heart, and even if you don't care for it I bet it would totally brighten your mood. Why more offices don't do this I will never understand - talk about a productivity and mood booster!
Curious what song we danced to? My kiddo is addicted to Itsy Bitsy Spider, and because mama loves reggae, we groove to the sounds of Basho & Friend's version. This is my favorite kid's CD...win-win cause we're both happy!
