What hits at the core of the crisis

When I was in my 20s, I didn’t go out on weekends as often as I should have. But there were still enough long, interesting nights at clubs to remember.

None of those memories are too specific. Just the situation in general, and how being out on the floor with your friends can just take your world away. Despite that the fact that I can’t….and I mean CAN NOT dance to anything with a quick beat.

That didn’t matter though. It was all about the energy. The music. The atmosphere. And how all of that came together on those nights to take advantage of those years.

Which is why hearing songs like the one below (one of my very favorite EDM tunes) hits at the core of my current mid-life crisis. “It Feels So Good” hit big about 20 years ago, when I was at the heart of those years in my mid-20s.

But even though that makes it hurt to hear that song (and especially to see the video, where couples that age are getting seduced by both the music and each other at the same time), I will never stop going back to watch it.

Because it’s the closest thing possible to turning back the clock.

Even if it’s just for a few minutes.
