There's a song floating around the radiosphere at the moment. It's a local crowd, I have no idea who. I have no idea what the song's called either. Eventually I'll pin down a set of sufficiently unique substrings in the lyrics to figure it out.
But that's secondary. There are days where there's very little going on to inspire hope in this country (or indeed the world). For reasons I'll try to explain shortly, this song runs counter to that trend.
The song's a pretty upbeat piece, with a fairly hummable tune (thank your luck stars you don't share a car with me in the mornings). The lyrics are a mixture of a local African language and English. And it sounds like the guys singing it are having an absolute blast. It makes me think of If I had a million dollars by the Bare Naked Ladies. You just know it's all play and no work.
It's just nice to hear someone who's so obviously doing what they love, despite anything Life may have placed in their way.
