Pumped Up Kicks - Acoustic Version Foster the People


I had been hearing this song and had spent a good deal of time searching the internet trying to find this song....well actually this version, of this song.  I had found the million entries of this song by Foster the People but that version was put to shame by the rich acoustic version that was stuck in my head. So I have been listening to cover after cover of this song on youtube trying to find who did this better version. Then boom, I find it was the original group in a different format... and that brought me to this blog entry.

We all have different formats in us.  I visited with an old friend this week. Always enjoy long talks with her.  I always understand myself better after talking with her.  She ask me a question this week that I didn't know the answer to until she asked and I answered. Maybe I understand more because she asks the right questions, more than the advice she gives; maybe both.  So she was asking me about my path with my partner.  I guess most would call him boyfriend but that seems so unfitting.  She asked what was next.  I assume that meant the normal options, cohabitation, engaged, married????? But I loved my immediate answer better.  So what comes next she asked with candor?  I answered... "What life brings us!".  I have no idea what that is and I am okay with that.  For the first time ever I feel confident to let life flow, knowing that he and I can adapt. No need to control, no need to wonder what if.  No need to doubt if he can weather a storm. 

I think I have found the acoustic format of my life...it's richness is not lost on me.  : )
