I-In the Waiting Line. I have seen this song used effectively in the film Garden State and an episode of “House, M.D.” It has a certain atmospheric quality, and a melody that mellows me out. The lyrics describe the senselessness of life spent in the waiting line, as all of us are at the mercy of our finite existences. As a military spouse, I have become an expert on waiting. And, quite frankly, I’m tired of it. So I will spend my time in the waiting line writing paragraphs about songs while desperately trying to ignore the insurmountable issues present in my life. Sound like a plan?
Do you believe what you see? Motionless wheel, nothing is real. Wasting my time in the waiting line…
Zero 7, “In the Waiting Line,” Simple Things, 2001
