The song that changed everything for me

I remember the first time I listened to this song. I was on this train from my home to the college and it was already night. The lights were off and I wanted to sleep. So I put on my mobile to listen some songs so that I could sleep. I remember that I had some new stuff to listen to and luckily I decided to listen to this weird sounding band with a haunting album name. The song was Jesus Christ by Brand New. Today, according to last.fm, I'm listening it for 874th time while I'm writing this blog. I still remember how the guitar intro instantly caught my mind and I felt like I was at some place else. As the song progressed, the first lyrics that hit me hard was, "Do you believe that you're missing out and everything good is happening somewhere else". This thing, this little thing, struck me hard. All alone, on a train after spending one of the best days of my life, I was heading back to my college, to an unknown future. I have always felt that I am missing something and unfortunately, I still do. And then, Jesse ends the first verse with an amazing breath of fresh air like he is trying fly in the air, feeling weightless and thus making me feel weightless. The part where he sings, " And I~~~~, will die~~~~", this really creep-ed me out. Instantaneously, I thought, "WTF! did he just say!".  At the very same moment I felt like I have found the one who shares the same feelings as I do and that guy can express himself in a way I wanted myself to do. As the song continued, the train shaking sideways, lights off, all alone, I  was lost in an eternal universe. Every sentence, every chord and every verse was so real yet the world I just went in was so surreal, it was getting hard for me to sleep. Ironical, yeah! And then comes the bridge followed by the last verse where Jesse screams his heart out, " We all got wood and nails...". At first I didn't get what he was saying but still I felt like those were the most meaningful lines I had ever heard. And this is the power of music. This is what makes me love listening to music. And then came the outro. And this was when the shit just got real. It was like something completely new for me. At the very same moment I realized that what did that outro symbolize.  It makes the song endless. It meant that this song has no end and this thing goes on and on forever and that's when I realized that I've found my ultimate lullaby. I have a lot of perfect songs in my collection. Some lullabies too. But over the 3 years of my listening of Jesus Christ, this song has never failed me. It always, somehow, makes me sleep even when all the other songs fail to do so. Except for that one night(and that is something totally different story). And yeah, if you are wondering that what happened then on that night on train. I'm happy to tell you that I finally managed to sleep after listening to this song for almost 1 or 2 hours.

Well, this blog was just to describe some of my feelings for this song, and not the meaning of the song and especially not to assert that this is the best song ever made in modern music industry. I'm still listening to this song as I am ending this piece of crap.
