When Your Mind's Made Up

I put up a post a while ago about a song from the lovely, lovely movie Once and how a song from the film had been haunting me for days. I can't even begin to describe how much I love the music from this film. I rewatched it the other night with some friends and sure enough, the music has yet to leave my brain (which if you know me, having music stuck in my head can be quite soothing or quite distracting-when I was wide awake at 3 a.m. this morning it was not so soothing-at any given time). The culprit that has been on repeat inside my head for 24+ hours is "When Your Mind's Made Up".
Cutting to the chase here, I was at The Service Station with a friend yesterday having a good chat when all of a sudden the familiar intro of the unique 5/4 time signature (seriously, who writes in 5/4? I can barely count in 5/4) came on and I completely freaked out. Unfortunately, said friend has never seen Once and had no idea why I was so happily freaking out. Fortunately, I told him we could still be friends. :)
I figure this pleasant instance of hearing the song in a random place is an omen of sorts, and that I should share this song with anyone who might happen to care. Enjoy...and then some.
