Crash Test Dummies, "On and On"

A lot of people only know the Crash Test Dummies for their breakout second album God Shuffled His Feet and the accompanying single, "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm." That makes me sad. They've put out a few albums after that one, without much success unfortunately except in the band's home country of Canada. Brad Roberts, the lead singer, has such a deep mesmerizing voice which at the same time excites and relaxes me. I could listen to him sing for hours.

"On and On," from the Dummies fifth album I Don't Care That You Don't Mind (2001), is a great example of both his singing style and his song-writing ability. The chorus of the song, "The little bird can sing and sing/The little bird knows everything/But the little bird don't bother with song/He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on," is the part that's really important to me. In my view, it kind of tells me that no matter what I'm going through in life, life keeps moving anyway, so there is no sense dwelling in the past. I need to focus on my future.
