This is a song that I think I need to listen to almost every day or have the lyrics printed and framed. Like many of Tom Rosenthal's songs, there's a playful aspect to the lyrics, but at its heart, it's a deep and motivating song about living a full life and pursuing your passions with abandon, even if you can't "paint a painting like Van Gogh," "make everyone understand," or "be the winner of the human race." You won't immediately change the world, but if you explore your interests, you may someday have an impact.
The message and the catchy, upbeat nature of the song make me want to go on an adventure. If there's something you've been dying to do, find a way to do it! Take those art classes; buy those concert tickets; travel to that place you've been wanting to see. Be intentional about living your life in such a way that will leave you with few regrets.

About the curator - Becky Welch
Becky has been a music-obsessed, compulsive playlist maker and live music enthusiast for as long as she can remember. Few things delight her more than sharing music and geeking out with people who care as much about it as she does. She plays piano and “plays” the ukulele and guitar. She likes almost every genre but is mostly drawn to fun songs that make her dance with abandon.
