The Roots - How I Got Over

There are millions and millions of songs in this world. Some songs you put on your iPod to hear once in awhile. Some songs you add to specific playlist determined by the energy, the message, the mood, etc. There are songs that play on the radio that you wish were never created. But once in awhile, you come across a song that removes you from the "NOW." This is that song for me....



I can't even put into words what this song does to me. I hear this song and it makes my heart skip a beat while creating a vortex of emotions. For me specifically, the video paired with the lyrics are a slap in the face to really focus on my true dream. I've had 1 true dream in the past couple years that I still have not attempted to conquer. Faced with financial challenges, doubt in my ability to be triumphant, and my scatterbrained mentality, I have continued to make excuses as to why I can't pursue my dreams. But no more. Like The Roots said, "I'm tired of being sick and tired."

This song is easily one of my favorites that I will be listening to as I finally pursue my dream.

In terms of the The Roots, I'm so happy they have continued to be a dependable group. I have never heard a song by them that I have questioned. I will be buying "How I Got Over" later today and will put up my first album review shortly.

P.S. This is probably one of the best video's I've seen in awhile. Everything from the way the kid in the wheelchair travels in parallel to Black Thought to the 3-legged dog is genius and elicits an emotional connection to the song.

i love. love. love. this song.
