All the trips that you take, they will get you there

Artist of the day- Rilo Kiley
Song of the day- It'll get you there

Sorry for the pause in posts, I've been spending the last couple days trying desperately to get back home, through flight cancellations, driving stupidly through ice storms, falling asleep in small town airports and being convinced on multiple occasions that maybe I just am not supposed to ever get back to California. And after prayer, pleading, drinking, and throwing things, and eating lots of chocolate, when I sat on my canceled frozen plane terrified of the incredibly dangerousness of flying through ice the pilot stupidly told us in great detail before taking off, I decided to play Rilo Kiley. Because music is magic to me in many ways but whenever I hear Rilo Kiley (or Fleetwood Mac) I always know it's a good sign. It pops up in the grocery store after a promising interview, it plays on my shuffle when moving to a new apartment, whenever the random occasion I hear it, I always take it as a cosmic sign I'm on the right track. And though it wasn't random at all, I figured I needed a little help with take off and started shuffling my Rilo Kiley Rkives. That's when today's song played, each lyric speaking exactly to my situation and putting my racing heart to ease. It was the first time I thought this plane might take me home.... twelve hours later, two planes, lost and found luggage and a new years eve spent in layovers, it did. So for all the places this new year will take you, don't worry, you'll get there.



All the trips that you take, they will get you there
All the little white pills you take, they will get you there
All the compliments that you take, they will get you there
All the hearts that you break, they will get you there

It’ll get you there
It’ll get you there
It’ll get you there
It’ll get you there

All the hostages that you take, they will get you there
All the hands that you shake, they will get you there
All the conman that you fake, it’ll will get you there
All the hearts that you break, they will get you there

It’ll get you there [x8]
I will get you there

All the pennies that you save, they will get you there
All the hearts that you break, they will get you there

It’ll get you there [x8]
I will get you there
