Theme Song of the Day

Revelry as preformed by Kings of Leon

Revelry by Kings of Leon is Wednesday, July 8th's theme song of the day. This song is perfect for any Wednesday because it supplements the joyous festivities that are included in most of our weekends. The song starts off with a fantastic first two lines, that really portray what most of us think we are on a drunken Friday night;

"What a night for a dance,

you know I'm a dancin' machine."

These opening lines really resonate within us because, well, who’s not a dancing machine after a few drinks? It seems like even the most shy, withdrawn people can dance with the help of a little booze. And at that point of the night, who doesn’t like to dance? The answer, my friends, is paraplegics…but I promise you if they could they’d be the most energetic of the bunch.

Throughout the song, we are enlightened to hear what most of us are thinking about at work, in class, or at Church. For example;

“So I drink and I smoke
And I ask if you're ever around
Even though it was me who drove us
Right in the ground”

Although I think there’s some sort of underlying message in the song surrounding the singer’s difficulty in balancing his love for some chick and his love for partying, I just pretend that he’s constantly DTP.

The most telling lyrics in the song are heard in the main chorus and are as follows;

“So the time we shared it
Was precious to me
All the while
I was dreamin of revelry”

And this is why Revelry by Kings of Leon is our theme song of the day. Nobody really goes out on Wednesday night because we still have class or work the next day, but it’s so close to Thursday that we can’t help but to “dream of revelry.” We’re so close, yet so far away, which is why Wednesdays tend to be the longest day of the week. However, this song’s mellow yet uplifting sound keeps us in check until Thursday night finally rolls around.

So sit back, pour yourself a Jack and Coke, and kick it for the evening, because tomorrow night it’s time to revel. Happy Humpday everyone.
