We’re always waiting, but what are we waiting for? [video]
My sons are way into an album by the Portland group Yacht. I’m always happy to introduce them to non-mainstream music, but I’m especially glad they’ve taken a liking to this album, because the messages of the lyrics are very positive. There’s one song in particular called “We’re always waiting.” I never realized how well the lyrics summarize the Your Money or Your Life, voluntary-simplicity movement.
Give it a listen:
We’re always waiting. What are we waiting for?
We’ve got all we need right here, but something’s telling us we need more.
We want all that stuff. All that stuff that costs too much.
Why are we working? And what are we working for?
We feel sad and such. Are we owned by our own stuff?
We don’t want our boring jobs, to keep us paying bills for ever.
So what are we waiting for?
