"Carry On Wayward Son..." at just the right moment

[freya922]

I was driving about, feeling a bit down in the mouth because I am thousands of miles from Van Con, when my Supernatural playlist ran out. I was on a major roadway and couldn't mess with my phone to restart it, so I sighed and switched on the radio.

They were playing "Carry On Wayward Son."

What are the odds? *grin*

When I hear the song on the radio I always wonder how many SPN fans are singing along with me!

[freya922]

I know! Me, too! (Is that silly?) I sometimes wonder if the guys at the station who put the song on have any idea what it means to some of us out here. :)

Definitely not silly! On a rock station over here in the UK, they do a game where they play a bunch of songs and you have to guess what the connection to all the tracks is. I never know the answer, but one day I shouted out loud at the radio when figured out the connection for the set of tracks was 'songs on Supernatural'!!!

OMG, that is awesome! You must have been so jazzed. *grin*

Aw, nothing's like stumbling upon Carry On My Wayward Son randomly on the radio.
I trust that you sang along. :) It just happened to me the other day and I grinned like an idiot the whole time.

[freya922]

Of course I sang along. Loudly. lso grinning like an idiot. :)

The next evening, it kind of happened again. I was feeling a bit melancholy as I got into my car. I turned her on and the radio came on, too, with "Lonely is the Night" playing. I sang that one, too, but with a mood a bit more somber thanks to its associations...

Ouch, Lonely is the Night is much less pleasant. Not that Carry On is such a cheery song, but the association to show compensates on the lyrics.
I love when the radio does that, when it's sorta channels your feelings and pop with just the right song at the right moment. :)

It really is amazing. It's kind of like "book karma" -- when you stumble upon a book containing exactly the message or inspiration you needed just THEN. Guess it works that way with TV shows, too. I sure discovered Supernatural just when I really needed something. :)

That is the best thing T^T
