As I was blogging about love and how it was the meaning of our existence and all that nice philosophical stuff, I suddenly remembered probably one of my favorite songs ever: "The Riddle" by Five for Fighting. According to Wikipedia, John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting's real name) took eighteen months and over one hundred drafts before he finally chose the final version. Ondrasik originally started writing the song as an attempt to discuss the meaning of life, yet as he worked on it, he became more and more influenced by his relationship with his five-year-old son, and as a result of the love that he discovers, he writes about the real "reason for the world: you and I."
Until next time,
