Feel the need to express my relief at a brush with death on here today.
I was crossing the road near my house when a car jumped a red light and went straight through the crossing that I was walking on.
It was strange to feel like I had just avoided some major injury, although I was listening to my MP3 player so the first I knew of it was when I heard an engine coming towards me that shouldn't have been. It wasn't like I saw it all and had to see life flash before my eyes.
After the relief subsided, I had a moment that revealed what a music snob I am.
'At least I was listening to something amazing' was my thought. Not quite sure where the idea that listening to a great song makes being hit by a car any better, but then my mind works in strange ways sometimes.
The track in question was 'City of Blinding Lights' by U2.
Time for a slightly morbid discussion perhaps.
Music to have a brush with death to?
