These Are Days

by Frank Roche on January 14, 2008

I saw this quote by Dave Matthews today:

The future is no place to place your better days.

Which made me think about one of my favorite songs, These Are Days by 10,000 Maniacs. The video is below.

    WOW!!!

    Just read your blog post here at the office and guess what song is playing on my mp3 player????

    “These days you might feel
    A shaft of light
    Make its way across your face
    And when you do
    You’ll know how it was meant to be”

    Pax, that is some kind of funny synchronicity. Amazing. And I LOVE those lyrics you transcribed. Those are my fave from the song.

    Jimmi, that just makes me laugh.

    We never know whats gonna happen tomorrow so why not live every day as if its the best. Its hard to do but its rewardful. If we can do this a few days in a month its ok too.

    Though I never found the song it comes from particularly impressive, I, too, have always liked that Dave Matthews line.

    It is hard to live every day as if it is your last. For me, I think about two things:
    1. Live every day like this is the last opportunity you will have to interact the people you meet with and care for
    2. Live every year like it will be the last opportunity to achieve the really imporatnt things
    I wish I was better at living it….but it is about the journey, the challenge, the growth
