This song describes my feelings completely, but in a different way - if you replace 'girl' with 'guitar', you'll understand exactly where I'm coming from.
You know how in Harry Potter when the "wand chooses the wizard" and all of that? Well, this happened to me, but also, replace 'wand' with 'guitar'.
I was in a pawn shop because my bro was pawning his ****ty DVDs for gas money (he got $60, but that's not the main part of the story).
Anyway, I was fiddling around with the musical instruments, and there was an entire rack of guitars, which I was pulling out one by one (unable to see the instruments fully) and I grabbed one, and there was like, a static shock throughout my entire body.
I finally managed to remove it from the rack, before even seeing it knowing it was meant to be, and pulled out a 1960s fender telecaster replica. White. Highly relic'd. New electronics.
After my friend had dealt with the DVD sales, he came to me and it took him 15 minutes to get me to stop playing the instrument. I've never had a guitar feel so natural in my hands. It was perfection.
Naturally, I was completely broke at the time. I'm now going into a job interview tomorrow, with the sole purpose of getting enough money to get that guitar (theatre jobs aren't happening this summer, and I'm bummed and broke). So, I'm also going back to the pawn shop and begging them to hold it for me.
I'll even tell them that I'll pay $25 over the asking price if they'll just, please, hold it for two weeks.
I seriously have never fallen this in love with anything EVER.
