Step 83: Hear a Pefect? Not Perfect? Perfect! Song

When there's so much going on that you have to get sick in order to have a few days completely free, and you hear a brand-spankin' new song on a popular radio station about your favorite Disney character, that song instantly becomes a perfect song. Ruth B's "Lost Boys" was that song for me.

 
I love anything that has to do with Peter Pan, even if it's something terrible. (Damn you pansy fairies of PAN!) So the minute Ruth B sings "Peter Pan--that's what they call me" I was hooked! (Pun only intended after I saw it.) YouTube should start collecting stats on how many times people hit the repeat button!

On the third or fourth listen through, I actually started paying attention to all of the lyrics. And during this more intensive listen, I realized that while yes, I would love to be "...a lost boy, from Neverland, usually hanging out with Peter Pan..." and sometimes even "Run, run lost boy, they say to me. Away from all of reality." There were a bunch of lines that didn't seem to fit me. ("As we soared above the town that never loved me, I realized I finally had a family.")

I actually got depressed because I thought maybe Peter Pan wasn't as perfect as I thought (yes, he kills Lost Boys who get too big for the tree house--I buried that under happy thoughts, leave it alone!). Then I read a quote from the singer:

I think in a sense we all have our own Peter Pans... for me, music is my Peter Pan. It's what I go to when I'm feeling lost or down, and I think people can relate to this. It could be an actual person, a hobby, sport--anything that makes you feel at home.

Instant love again!

So my question to you is: Who/what is your Peter Pan?
And my challenge to you: Think a happy thought.

“I think in a sense we all have our own Peter Pans…for me, music is my Peter Pan,” she explained. “It’s what I go to when I’m feeling lost or down, and I think people can relate to this. It could be an actual person, a hobby, sport—anything that makes you feel at home.”
