The other week, Aimee Mann’s Momentum song was stuck in my head. Change is hard, and the more I listen to the lyrics , the more it seems to just fit a lot of situations. Everything from the daily routine to the outdated (but we’re still using it!) software.
Anyway, I’ll let the lyrics speak for themselves. You can buy the song here.
Cheers,
Peter
Verse 1:
Oh, for the sake of momentum
I’ve allowed my fears to get larger than life
And it’s brought me to my current agendum
Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive
Chorus:
And I know life is getting shorter
I can’t bring myself to set the scene
Even when it’s approaching torture
I’ve got my routine
Verse 2:
Oh, for the sake of momentum
Even though I agree with that stuff about seizing the day
But I hate to think of effort expended
All those minutes and days and hours
I have frittered away.
Chorus
And I know life is getting shorter
I can’t bring myself to set the scene
Even when it’s approaching torture
I’ve got my routine
Bridge 1:
But I can’t confront the doubts I have
I can’t admit that maybe the past was bad
And so, for the sake of momentum
I’m condemning the future to death
So it can match the past.
Bridge 2:
when I can’t confront the doubts I have
I can’t admit that maybe the past was bad
And so, for the sake of momentum
I’m condemning the future to death
So it can match the past.

yes, Peter. .and friends.
music lyricists have long had the special skill of putting the illogical feeling side of our lives in a brief haunting melody. .they can be great teachers for people who spend most of their time doing ‘logical’ thinking. striving for balance gives us the best of all worlds
