About “Write It In Stone”
Since the day I was born I’ve Known,
A quiet way wasn’t the road I chose.
I went to an arts high school and majored in Creative Writing. To those unfamiliar with the individual classes, it would seem crazy that I chose to take a standard, non-major focused English class, rather than the AP option. Was I trying to take the easy way out?
On the contrary, it just so happened that for some strange reason it was well-known that the standard English class available for my senior year was harder than the AP class. While the AP class focused on a more modern curriculum, the standard class focused on a classical approach. This meant I’d get to study literature ranging from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales to the Old English epic poem, Beowulf.
Count me in :)
Classical works are full of drama and passion. Characters’ lives are portrayed vividly with valiant conquests and philosophical themes underpinning the stories.
The finality of these works, the understanding that life must be lived now because you never know what’s going to happen next really stuck with me.
Especially in regards to the Beowulf tale, these themes heavily influenced by group’s single, ‘Write It In Stone.’
Down to the blaze of fire I reference in the bridge accompanying “my last breath,” the song plays out a bit like an epic itself, even though it only lasts a couple short minutes.
My family is southern. And my family is Irish. Legacy is a big deal to us. It’s always on my mind.
Perhaps another one of my absolute favorite writers, Mary Oliver, sums the main theme of this Crazy Daysies track up best:
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? “
