Requiem for a Dream

Before I delve into the deep stuff, this one song is just one of my favorites lately. Many people consider it to be the epic song, and if you've heard it, you'll know why. Just a really nice piece of music, that's all.

However, there is something more to it.

Requiem for a Dream

A requiem is a mass written for the dead. A solemn chant for the repose of the dead. Something that resembles such a solemn chant. A musical composition in honor of the dead. Lot's of definitions.

But for a dream?

Yeah.

A beautiful and solemn chant written to honor a dream progressing towards death.

"I have a dream, A song to sing. To help me cope, with anything..."

You see, I like to make random connections to my life. I have a few dreams about where I want my life to go. I don't want this to be my song. And yet in only 20 hours that I've had it, I've listened to it non-stop. I can't stop.

Right now, I'm working really hard to write a letter that will drastically change the course of my life, and what I choose to do with the rest of it. Of course, it all depends on the answer, but if it's the answer that I seem to want, then who knows what my life is going to look like? Will I still be living in Calgary when I graduate? Or will I leave it all behind to chase this dream? If no, will I be able to revert back to my normal self? To pretend I never had those thoughts?

Do I want to spend all my savings for a few flights to BC? Or should I just block it out of my head and pretend it never happened, dreaming of the things that come easier?

This dream feels so good, so right, so wonderful. I take it with me every day, every minute. I cannot stop thinking about how I want to live that dream. Yet I can't shake the feeling that there's no sense wasting my time on something so stupid and difficult.


Requiem for my dreams.
