Eh, just several times a day for me.
Such as this one which happened just in the last hour.
I have a few song lists which I play on random shuffle, ones which I find inspirational or personally meaningful to me. I usually play one with 600 songs at home, and for the road about 200 (more uptempo typically).
I was at my workout, watching the telly there. One of my top faves is a Fields of the Nephilim cut, “Psychonaut”, which goes on at length about this Leviathan, which for me personally symbolizes my own personal power and such, among other things. I put a painting of Moby Dick for my custom art for this cut.
I am playing it for my workout (nonrandomly note), and, right at the end of the cut, when these lines play:
Pray for Leviathan, Leviathan
Pray for Leviathan, Leviathan
Pray for Leviathan, Leviathan
I pray for Leviathan, I hear them come
I see an ad for a new movie: In the Heart of the Sea. About the whaling ship Essex which was sunk by a huge bull sperm whale.
The kicker is that Psychonaut was also the last song to play at home before I left (random 600 song list).
And when I got back, the very next song to play, The Refo:mation’s “She Comes in Singing” [A Church side project] plays. With this stanza:
You got a face like Raphael
You got a heart like a blue whale
And your heart is not for sale
And, as I type up this message, get the Nightwish song “Slaying the Dreamer”, with:
*
I’m a priest for the poorest sacrifice
I’m but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed
You bathed in my wine
Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds*
The crew of the Essex spent several months stranded in their whaling boats.
This kind of thing happens to me multiple times a day.
Now, I know none of this will impress anybody here in the slightest, just telling them like I see them.
