Yea well, apparently…it’s conditional…
This is some carazy shit…let me tell you what happened today. I decided to take my own advice and do those affirmations before I went to sleep. (I work nights) Then, I had a dream.
I was in a garage, typical man cave kind, beer bottles strewn across the cement floor, (the dream opened with me spinning one around with my foot) a pool table, some friends and a radio playing rock songs…
I had a beer in my hand and was feeling good, I had a nice buzz on. The others that were there were leaving, just leaving me and this tall, thin guy who I felt was a closer friend than the rest and he was obviously pretty high. The DJ on the radio starts going into that typical DJ roll, something like “Coming to you live from Phoenix, Arizona (even though I live in Florida) he gives the call letters and frequency of the radio station, says some other stuff and then…Saaaaaaantana…and you start hearing the first notes of “You’ve got to Change” so I start singing to it.
The song goes on for a bit and my friend walks over and turning the radio down says, “Hey man, what was the first words to that song”? So I start singing what I thought were the first words…”You’ve got to change…baby. Before I stop lovin’ you, you’ve got to change…baby” He goes, “No man, the first words..” I say, “Those are the first words.”
He comes over and draping his left arm around my shoulders starts walking like that with his arm around me towards the rear wall and stops at the wall with the top of his head resting against the wall and looking down now with his eyes closed, starts repeating word for word exactly what the DJ had said before playing the song. So I say, “You can remember all that but you can’t remember the first words to the song”? (Obvious who I’m talking to here right? The subconscious which forgets nothing) So I’m standing there thinking, “OK, he knows the words then, he’s just seeing if I do and as I’m thinking that I start waking up.
Awake now, I grab my cell and Google, “Santana You’ve got to change” and quickly finding it hit play. The first words of the song are,
“You’ve got to change your evil ways, baby, before I stop lovin’ you”.
Well damn, ain’t that some shit? I just got told by my own subconscious that I’m too evil to love. I’ll never hear that song again without laughing now, at the very least a mischievous grin.
