Pavement Kisses

Pavement Kisses

This is my new favorite song.

It’s by a band called Elva Snow.

I was listening to it the other day. It’s slow. Moody. Evocative. Beautiful. I could listen to it on repeat over and over.

I’ve heard that song so many times, but this time I really HEARD the lyrics. There’s a line in the song that goes, “Cuz something is better than nothing…” And that line really hit me:

Is something really better than nothing? Is getting part of what you want better than not getting it at all?

Think of the things you want most in life. Now, think of only getting part of it. Is it worth it? Is it better to compromise on your dreams and accept a bastardized version of it, or should you hold out for the real thing?

Would you settle for doing regional theater if you dream is to be on the West End?

Is getting 5 numbers on Euro Millions better than getting none at all?

Is having an affair with someone better than being just being friends?

Which is better? I don’t know answer to that, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about all week.
