Like Swift-and Lorde, too-Rodrigo has a knack for conjuring big feelings through small details: an ex singing along to their Billy Joel with his new love (“deja vu”), reading his self-help books “so you’d think that I was smart” (“enough for you”). But, really, what could prepare you for breaking the global single-week streaming record for a female artist? Especially on your first single? And getting a nod from Taylor Swift in the meantime? (Along with “drivers license” winning the Apple Music Award for Top Song of the Year in 2021, Rodrigo’s debut LP, SOUR, was the Top Album of the Year and Rodrigo herself was named Breakthrough Artist of the Year.) Born in Temecula, California, in 2003, she started lessons in piano, voice, and acting as a child, and went on to star in Disney+’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Rodrigo was just 17 when the song came out, but she had been getting ready for years. “And I got home and I was like, ‘Maybe I’ll write a song about this: crying in the car.’” Rodrigo had tapped into a universal experience: The middle-aged guys weren’t teenage girls, but they’d also driven around listening to sad songs. “I was driving around my neighborhood listening to really sad songs, like, crying in the car,” Rodrigo told Apple Music. By the end of their discourse, they’re all in tears, singing along. Another complains that it just sounds like a teenage girl sitting alone at a piano. One puts “drivers license” on the jukebox. If that is the case, then I think that would explain the things that Crosby refers to.A few weeks after Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” became the biggest song in the world, Saturday Night Live ran a sketch that featured a bunch of middle-aged guys shooting pool in a dive bar. If both matter and energy are recycled, I would assume that consciousness is also. We often speak of the mind, body, and soul I believe these to merely be individual representations of the universal elements of consciousness, matter, and energy. In stating that everything in the universe is composed of matter and energy, science seems to overlook the possibility of a third component that is not so easily detectable: consciousness. I think Crosby is onto something, though. We learned that matter is constantly recycled and never goes away, but that when energy is recycled, a little bit disappears each time until there is eventually none left. Stoned from Desperate Hot Springs, CaI recall learning about the conservation of matter and energy in a science class years ago. This is what we have to figure out.įor more song interpretations by Gargatholil, buy The Pouring, or How the Universal Mind Reached Out to a Generation, available on () and soon (Fall 2002) from Amazon print on demand. This is the Devil’s bargain in which we are all caught. So, we must ask ourselves, what is going on below the ground? What games are being played in our subconscious mind-in the Mind-of which we remain unaware and into which we are trapped? How can we break the karmic Cycle of Birth, Death and Rebirth? This is the universal condition. Yet we have no clear memory of this-only a feeling that we have been here, done this all before. As described in the song, the sequence of karmic events leads us right back into the exact same circumstances we had repeated before. We have repeated the same mistake, again and again and again, each time we go around the karmic wheel. We may not clearly remember the circumstances through which this debt originated but we are sure that we would not repeat the same mistake again. We are confused and bewildered, as is the song’s protagonist. Payment for the debt is demanded-often through our having to go through some unpleasant happening. We have all, at some point in our many-life existence, been involved in such games. The song references a karmic debt that appears to be the result of our involvement in a mind game in which all of our confronters are also involved. This may involve confronting those to whom we owe some karmic debt. At certain points, as the song’s storyline describes, the consequences of our behaviors come to a head and we are thrust into a karmic crisis. We are all caught in repeating cycles of behavior-behavior not only on this plane but on the astral planes, as well. Gargatholil from The UniverseDéjà Vu is a very explicit song about karma and reincarnation and the Cosmic Game that we all find ourselves trapped in because of the Law of Karma.
