"Life Is A Highway"

Here we have another tune by Rascal Flatts called "Life Is A Highway."

Personally, I much prefer this rendition of the song over the one by Tom Cochran, maybe because I heard this one first, but also because I think this one is frankly just more pleasant to the ear with more of a sense of rhythm. I've loved this song since I first heard it in Disney/Pixar's "Cars" and it was my jam for a good chunk of my freshman year of high school.

I believe this song almost directly relates to the course. I believe the idea that "life is a highway" and that you should "ride it all night long," as the lyrics say, is saying that there is a whole world out there to discover and if you really want to experience living, you need to go out and see it for yourself. Best to do it as soon as possible, too, as "there's not much time left today."

I think the reason I respond so well to songs like this is because they're so motivational. Every once in a while, we all just need a good kick in the pants to get us to do what we really want. to do. I'm not sure what I can say that I haven't said already before.

Rascal Flatts is one of my favorite bands and I think this is one of their best songs.
