Uprising

I don't know if it's really possible {or if it's something I should talk to my husband about first before I go posting it all over the internet}...but...I think I might have a huge crush.

It's bigger than any of my other previous crushes. Like the one I had on Chris Carrabba, or Jonathan Brandis, and yes, it's even more ridiculous than the insanely long crush I had on Josh Mcadams that lasted all the way from the 4th grade up until the time I got a boyfriend in high school.

So, you might be asking yourself who has captured my heart? When it comes to the who: well, that would be my husband. But that's not what this post is about. No, the question is what has captured my heart? Like I said, I'm not sure if it's actually possible, but I have a crush on a song. I am absolutely in love with Muse's song "Uprising". It makes me absolutely giddy whenever I hear it! Seriously. I love it.

{My kids also love it...it's so fun to go around town yelling out the words at the top of our lungs. Good times.}


Maybe it's because I'm a history nerd {and a slight romantic} but when I listen to it, even though he was inspired by the G20 protests which took place last year, I like to think of all the different countries and people who stood up for their freedom and what they believed in. Rising up, taking the power and putting it back where it belongs: with the people. I get goosebumps envisioning it. Inspiring. Plus, I love any song where you can actually hear the passion both in their voices and through their instruments.

(to clarify, I don't have a crush on any members of the band)
