The humdrums of emo music have engulfed us during our high school years. But why bother slit your wrist listening to heart wrenching “broken glass cut me to sleep, wounds are dissected so deep” things when you can listen to a feel good song?

“I've been down and
I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me
With me”

A friend referred the band Stereophonics during our late-night, gate-crash movie marathons. The OST of the movie Wicker Park starring Josh Hartnett and Dian Krueger, I was moved by the opening song of the movie. My friend said that it was by Stereophonics, a Welsh band playing alternative music. I was soon LSS-ed by the song and quickly searched for the lyrics. At first, I thought the lyrics were repetitive and boring, but as I started blending it with the mellow music, it fit perfectly.

“It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home…”

The song simply discusses on being blue and on wanting to be happy. Happiness is a choice. If you want to be happy through simple things like smiles from somebody you barely know, then be happy. You are never deprived of happiness. It is around. Happiness is also contagious, you can be infected.

“I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upperside of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe

I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me
All me”

The music of Stereophonics is really heart felt. From the husky voice of the vocalist, Kelly Jones, you might want to forget being sad and be happy. This song also talks about on wanting to be home, on wanting to be where you really wanted to be.

All suffering and sadness is caused by being in the wrong place. If you are unhappy where you are, move. Listen to Maybe Tomorrow by Stereophonics and I know their song can help you understand.

“So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home…”
