I'm sailing away, Set an open course for the virgin sea, 'Cause I've got to be free, Free to face the life that's ahead of me,

Artist- Styx
Song of the day- Come sail away

I got distracted today with being productive because a marathon of "Freaks and Geeks" was on IFC. Now I know this is a music blog, but I must say I never really cared about this song until I saw the end of this pilot episode. If you've never seen the show, well then I feel pity AND jealousy because you get (and should immediately) see the entire short lived series and have your life changed. Also this sequence might make zero sense and miss the depth of awesomeness you would feel from seeing the pilot from start to finish. Again in that case go ahead and watch the whole episode cuz I will give you a money back guarantee if you are not moved and or laugh out loud by it. But to me in this one song holds the awkwardness, teen drama, and desperation in finding who you are as a teenager and maybe even right now. To ask the prettiest girl to dance even if you are the shortest/ dorkiest guy alive, to dare to do the right thing even if you will be judged by everyone around you, to change from who everyone has told you you are, to who you want to be. I dare you to do and keep doing all of these things. Come sail away.




I'm sailing away,
Set an open course for the virgin sea,
'Cause I've got to be free,
Free to face the life that's ahead of me,
on board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard,
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore,
And I'll try, Oh Lord I'll try, to carry on

I look to the sea,
Reflections in the waves spark my memory,
Some happy, some sad,
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had,
We lived happily forever, so the story goes,
But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head,
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said,
They said come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads,
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me,
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me baby,
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but much to my surprise,
We climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies
come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me...
