Zo’n nummer waarbij je in één keer gepakt wordt door de tekst. Dat heb ik niet heel vaak. Meestal raakt de melodie me en heb ik mazzel wanneer ook de tekst nog aardig klopt.

Ik hoorde het nummer voor het eerst op onze vakantie op Texel. Het beschreef een strijd van iemand die maar niet een beslissing kon maken over veel dingen in zijn leven.

Dat de tekst me raakte zegt genoeg…

I got all the answers and I know how to fix this
Then how come I never get around to really doing it?

En bijzonder nummer voor me.

The New Shining – I Just can’t make up my mind…

I’ve done nothing to prevent myself from slowly breaking down
I don’t know when to stop or to begin

Unlike everything I do
This one proves to be too hard to figure out for me

And I let the river carry me
To where ever it may take me
Too many questions remain unsolved and I wonder why
God knows I’m in desperate need of some kind of clarity
But I just can’t make up my mind
But I just can’t make up my mind

O, I got all the answers and I know how to fix this
Then how come I never get around to really doing it?

Too many choices to make and time is slipping away from me
Me and I, don’t see eye to eye

And I let the river carry me
To where ever it may take me
Too many questions remain unsolved and I wonder why
God knows I’m in desperate need of some sort of clarity
But I just can’t make up my mind
But I just can’t make up my mind
If I could just make up my mind

And I let the river carry me
To where ever it may take me
Too many questions remain unsolved and I wonder why
God knows I’m in desperate need of some sort of clarity
But I just can’t make up my mind
But I just can’t make up my mind
Lord knows I just can’t make up my mind
If I could just make up my mind
