we are young

it was probably around january[-ish] that A2 comes into the living room with his laptop and this:



yes.  you have heard it.
and it may be overplayed [i wouldn't know, we only hear of these things via A2 and his ever-indulgent search for the eclectic]

anyway, it is BEAUTIFUL.
i think the 'trio and i played and replayed it possibly [42?] a lot.

is this something only i do or are you the same:
when i hear them singing 'so if by the time, the bar closes, and you feel like falling down.
i'll carry, you home,
toniiiiiiiiiight'

[and this is about as explicit as we get, so don't become concerned.  95.2% of the time we are listening to worship music.  well-rounded right?]

so not so much the words, but the fact that they are singing it in perfect pitch.
with all the right pauses.
and then beautifully blaring the chorus with or without janelle monae,

this or any song equally as passionate about either youth specifically,
or that somehow transports you back to 6-12th grade and dancing and screaming your current must-have happy/angst song

i don't know about you but i lose it.
every time.
tears.

and at times like a few sundays ago when our [awesome] worship band at church opened services playing this:



and my 'trio goes crazy b/c they have been singing it w/daddy for weeks/months, and they are into it.
right there in the lobby.
full on.  [always full on and i LOVE it]

music is so incredibly moving.
and while A2 is super-cautious about 'over listening' to a song, my lovelies and i run with reckless abandon, and we listen to something like this:


or this:


or this:


over and over and OVER again.
cry.
laugh.
dance.

and they will never forget it.
or the moments spent learning it.

and neither will i.
