Today, walking back from class, as I approached a red van for some sort of labor service (I don't remember which), the man seated in the middle of the front row leaned out the passenger windows next to me and threw a cigarette butt down on the road. The van sat at a red light for a moment as I contemplated picking up the butt and giving it back to the man and telling him to not litter and possibly even to quit smoking. I felt fear of imaginary repercussions, and I could not act, and so as I walked by, the light turned green and the van drove off.
My mp3 player at this point was playing "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera, and just as I made my decision to keep my mouth shut, the lyrics "Why must we all conceal\What we think\How we feel" played. Of course, not context appropriate given the song, but altogether, amusing.
I feel as if this happens often for me, but likely at times because I purposely play an appropriate song. Ever had something that was happening to you seem soundtracked by music that coincidentally is playing?
