30 post song challenge #3: a song that makes me happy.
I was singing along to a random playlist and "Anything Could Happen" queued up by Ellie Goulding. Catchy beat, nice melody, pretty voice. Not so much forgettable as benign. Something that I could throw on anytime, like a comfortable sweater. At least until the breakdown happens. Every single time the song is playing, I am only vaguely paying attention, and the moment where she plants her feet and declares, "I know it's gonna be, I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE", I find myself modulating right along with her and suddenly this white bread song becomes an anthem. For that last 40 seconds, this is the song that turns my melancholy into joy. This is the dance-in-my-undies-hands-in-the-air happy inducing song.
Nothing special happens after that big declaration, same melody and ooh ooh ooh that happened beforehand, but all is suddenly brighter and so much more awesome.
