So, tonight I was uploading pictures on to my computer and decided to bust out some tunes.
I shuffled around for a bit until I landed on the song "Getting Into You" by Relient K.
Almost started full out bawling in the middle of this Filipino Starbucks.
I have not really seriously listened to Relient K since like freshman year of college. I never stopped liking them...I guess I just kind of grew out of them and onto other musicians.
But, this song hit me like a ton of bricks. I was astounded.
Yes, I know, Relient K is a peppy punk band that plays catchy songs with 3 chord progressions, but I suddenly realized how much of an impact this band has had on me and my spiritual walk.
I started remembering nights when I would sit in my room and just let their words speak to God for me. Not to mention if I was ever in a bad mood, "Pressing On" could always turn it around.
I am so thankful for the countless hours of my teenage years I spent with headphones plugged in, praising God while rocking out to "High of 75" and "Be My Escape."
It's amazing how music speaks to the soul.
Yes, even Relient K.
Remember when Matt Theissen told you happy birthday? :)
