Looking For Something Special

It’s extremely rare for me to post something on here that isn’t something I’m created but there’s a reason for this.  Last night I had the pleasure of watching ‘Up In the Air’ and I must say, it’s quite a fantastic film.  It was a touching yet realistic story that I was able to really connect with on a more personal level than other films.  The audio you’re about to listen to was played during the credits, and was kind of inspirational, although I can’t exactly pin-point why.  I know a few people that will hear this and feel exactly the way I did.  Sorta like at the end of ‘Magnolia’.  Either way, it’s a great little song from a superb film.  Maybe you’ll feel the way I did, maybe you won’t.

Cheers.

“Up in the Air” by Kevin Renick

I’m up in the air,
Choices drifting by me everywhere
And I can’t,
find the one
That would help me do the work I’ve left undone,
‘cause I’m up in the air

I’m making some plans,
Finding out there’s always new demands
And I can’t,
be precise
when people ask me what I’m doing with my life
I say, “It’s up in the air”

I’m hearing from friends
It’s that tired, old advice again:
“You just cannot keep floating all around,
Oh, you got to get your feet back on the ground.”
But it’s hard,
to come down,
when you’re up in the air

I’m travelling in my car
Always lost, though I don’t go that far
I find that I can live most anywhere
Everyone I meet has so much they can share
But I don’t,
settle down,
‘cause I’m up in the air

I’m thinking of my past
The comfort in my home that couldn’t last
Now my family tells me, “Work for your success,”
and they want to see me find some happiness
But I’m not sure,
where that is,
‘cause I’m up in the air

I’m talking with my peers
Listening to them tell their inner fears
Some have lives that haven’t gone the way they planned,
and some are trapped in situations they can’t stand
But I don’t want,
the same for me,
so I stay up in the air

I’m out in the woods
Something here does my heart so good
I breathe the air and I know that I’m alive
And I stare at all the birds as they fly by
I guess it all,
goes down to them,
‘cause they’re up in the air
