Don T Blink Theme Song Analysis

Theme song
I remember when my football coach showed me Don't Blink for the first time around 10-11 years old. At the time I was thinking it was a good song, but as the years start passing by the song started hitting me in personal ways. Life flashes right in front of you and it's like you don't even realize it until everything is gone. Life shouldn't be taken for granted, and should be fulfilled with everything you have ever wanted. Listening to “Don't blink” by Kenny Chesney has changed my life and connects to my life personally in multiple ways; from grabbing life by it's ears, losing loved ones, and changing my perspective.

When I turned 16 one of my best friends for 10 years passed away. My friend and I used to wait until we got out of school to meet at either of our houses. My best friend for 10 years. Just as we were thinking we had life figured out she got in a car crash. Kenney Chesney says, “next thing you know your best friend of 20 years is laying in the bed and you're praying God takes you instead.” Scary hearing this in a song, but you never really understand until you have the same situation as you. She was my best friend for ten years. I met her when I was six years old and just thought she was the funniest and sweetest girl. I didn’t understand why God would allow her to be taken when she had so much to live for. In the beginning of this time I was selfish and was upset that God took such an angel, but then I realized how fast life can get taken away from you. So, after a couple weeks of being selfish I started living life to the fullest as she would’ve. I don’t know if God decided that to be a wakeup call to me, but it sure did set a fire under me and I decided to change many things I did. Every time I hear this song by Kenney Chesney it lights a little spark in my heart and I remember my best friend and who I’m living for just when I start to question

    When I first listened to the song “Remember” by Mac Miller, it brought back so many unforgettable memories I had with my best friend Taegon who passed away. The main reason I picked this song was because it really taught me not to take things for granted and just to appreciate every moment you have with the ones you care most about. I first heard the song “Remember” about a week after Taegon passed away, while a couple friends and I were just hanging out in my car. My friend asked to see the aux cord and put the song on. All of my friends and I just went quiet and just sat there, and listened to the song.…

    While my parents traveled to and from work everyday, there were a couple of songs they may have heard quite often due to their popularity. If they happened to be listening to the radio when I was born, they more than likely heard the number one song “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith (“Birthday No #1.”), which won the MTV Movie Award for Best Song from a Movie (“Aerosmith Awards.”). Diane Warren, the songwriter, became nominated for an Oscar for the Best Music from an Original Song, won the ASCAP Award for Most Performed Songs from Motion Pictures, and was even nominated for the Grammy Best Song written Specifically for Motion Picture or for Television (“Diane Warren Awards.”). Other songs they may have heard could have been “Candle in the Wind” by Elton John or even “Truly Madly Deeply” by Savage Garden ("90s Hits – Billboard #1s.”). Other than listening to songs, my parents often found themselves sitting on a comfortable couch watching a hit TV show.…

    Losing someone you watched suffer in their last days on earth doesn’t feel anything like losing a friend that was your age who had their whole life ahead of them, and losing both in less than a 2 month span doesn’t help either.

    The morning of Saturday November 1st, 2014, I woke up to three hundred text messages and twitter notifications all notifying me that my friend, Dominik Pettey, was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver the previous night. No pain had ever felt so significant, it was crippling, but then instead of pain, I was numbed by the inability to grasp that my friend someone who I just had seen the night before, was gone. I ran the words “Dom is dead” through my head on a loop but could not bring myself to accept it. That week, although I was still here, facing such a tragedy, everything on earth seemed so insignificant, going to class, homework, midterms, everything. I woke up every morning wishing it was just in a bad dream and that noise would never cease because that is when it hit me the most, silence, when I didn't hear Dom’s infectious laugh or when he wasn't telling me that, “I am Kiera Wainer and deserve the best God can give”, which he used to say anytime I was upset, the first time he said those words was the second worst day of my entire life, it was the day my dad left for his new family.…

    When I was just a toddler, I would try to climb in the dishwasher and take everything out while mom was trying to do the dishes. In order to keep me from doing that, dad needed to play video games as long as they entranced me. One of the games he played was The Legend of Zelda. Growing up with this game and spending time with my dad while he played it fueled the love I developed for this game and it’s music. The first four songs on the soundtrack of my life, composed by Koji Kondo, are songs from that video game.…
