“I'm staring across the table at the nicest eyes I've seen.
I said they were brown but she insisted they were green.
So I called over the waiter and he told me he agreed.
Tonight I drink wine with the girl that likes me.
(What a buzz)
Tell me all about you.
(What a buzz)
Where I'd be without you.
(What a buzz)
Tell me all about you.
What a beautiful buzz with the girl I might love.”

What a Buzz – Olly
Murs
For the past year and a half I have blogged about how music
can inspire you to change the world, encourage make the most of your life and
remind you how precious moments are. Music can evoke both positive and negative
emotion out of as you react to the message in the lyrics and tone of the song.
It wasn’t until I recently heard this song from Olly Murs’ third album that I remembered one of the
simplest things music can make you do: it can make you smile.
What a Buzz is an
absolutely gorgeous song which gives me the warm fuzzies. Olly Murs sings about
being on a nervous first date with a beautiful girl and the ‘buzz’ it gives
him. It is so sweet it makes me smile as I imagine him being in this situation.
I’m not usually one to get soppy and emotional over a date (especially someone
else’s) but the description in this song is awkwardly charming: the nervous
hands, the disagreeable waiter and the way someone is slowly falling in love
and creating such a buzz for them. It’s as cute as kittens and it should make
you smile.
As you know one generally smiles when they are happy and
amused, and showing respect to others and conveying compassion. It is a symbol
widely recognised across cultures and countries with a generally similar
meaning. Smiling lights up our eyes – known as the window to the soul – which
makes us seem more attractive. Smiling and laughing is even scientifically proven
to boost your immune system and energy levels. A smile is infectious and it
helps bind together relationships and intimacy. In short: smiling is good for
you!
One of my favourite quotes “don’t frown: you never know when
someone is falling in love with your smile”. While it unfortunately isn’t likely
to be Olly Murs it could be someone special, someone who influences your life.
Or it could be no one you will ever know but in that moment have smiling have bought
a little bit of joy to their life. This week, as I sign off this blog, I
encourage you to do a few simple things. Firstly, smile. Secondly, smile a
little bit wider. And thirdly, in moments of joy and pleasure and cuteness,
never be afraid to smile.
Here's a picture of Olly Murs smiling. He's so cute.
This is insightful and creative, both the writing and the feeling behind it.
