Misheard Lyrics
My friend sang along to the song that was playing and I realized he had got the words wrong. I corrected him and it ruined the song for him.
In the song 'Natural Mystic', Bob Marley sings: There's a natural mystic / Blowing through the air / If you listen carefully now you will hear.
My friend heard and sang a different version of the lyrics. When singing the song, he renders it as: There's a natural mistake / Blowing through the air / If you listen carefully now you will hear.
I pointed out that he's making a mistake. The correct word is mystic. He shook his head in dismay and looked sad afterwards.
His version is also valid though. If you listen carefully to news around the world, and what's blowing through the airwaves, you will hear crazy things. Awful mistakes happening around the globe. You come to realize it is a dog-eat-dog world. And the dog certainly isn't Rover or Lassie. This dog walks on two legs.
Awesome one John.The part where you talked about the Dog walking on two legs is deep.Crazy world.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Victoria. It's a crazy world.
