Welcome to My Curious Heart

The Orchids

Another perfect song from this great Scottish band. I love the youthful admission in the title — young, curious heart who’s on some kind of mission. The yearning and anticipation is palpable — those guitars and chord progressions, the hushed vocals in the verses. And then the chorus — so specific and sung with conviction.

Someday babe, I’m gonna get what I want.
Someday babe, I’m gonna get what I need.
Here I am.

I think of this song a lot — just the power in stating what you want for today or for tomorrow. Or for next year. And stating what you aim to do about it.
