I Won't Hold You Back.


Currently, I am obsessed by a remix of this song by a DJ called Roger Sanchez. The Sanchez song is called "Another Chance." I particularly like the Afterlife Remix version. Anyway, he sampled it from a 1982 Toto song called I Won't Hold You Back. Interestingly enough, the original Toto's song featured the Eagle's bass player Timothy B. Schmit on backing vocals during the choruses.

I started to listen to the 80s song and got to thinking about the lyrics. And thought of the title. How noble to let somebody go because you want something better for them. Even though, you would lose them in the process.

Semi-charmed life.


I sometimes forget I live a semi-charmed life.

It is easy to desire more. More money. A palatial home. A fancier car. Fame.

One would be lying if one says it has never crossed their mind. But happiness lies not in these things but in enjoying what one has.

A true happy man is one who is able to distinguish the difference between what he needs and what he wants.

When we can not get what we love, we must love what is within our reach.
