We road tripped to Orlando this afternoon and my husband usually does the driving, which means he gets the iPod plug-in. Often he has a mix of a lot of stuff I like and a few songs here and there I don't much care for. But he is always good for some songs I like that I've never heard before. This was the case today. A couple of years ago Van Halen (the REAL Van Halen with David Lee Roth) released their highly anticipated album, the first with original members since 1984, their last studio album before DLR left and was replaced by Sammy Hagar. I knew my husband purchased it and I heard bits and pieces of songs here and there when in his truck for short rides. But today I caught a lyric in one of the songs, and I had to repeat it. Sometimes a lyric just hits you that way. It gets you thinking. This one is from the song Trouble With Never.
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
I started to think. When was the last time I tried something new? When did I last do something for the very first time? As I write this post, I'm still trying to recall what it was. And I know, my struggle to bring whatever it was to the surface is enough to make the point that it was too long ago. So, I guess it's time to try something new, do something for the very first time. When lyrics speak to me so insistently, I know it's time for pause and consideration. With that, I am on a mission to experience something for the first time. I'll be on the lookout for my first time experience. And I'll be sure to write about it when I have it. In the meantime, here's Trouble With Never by Van Halen:
