I’m a little late with this particular post, but at least I’m posting something, right? Today’s Musical Monday highlights the song “Typical” by Mute Math. I heard this last weekend during a training meeting in Boise, and I loved it.

Here you go:

Come on, can I dream for one day?
There’s nothing that can’t be done
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone?

Cuz I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feelin’ like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Now I’ve lived through my share of misfortune
And I’ve worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone?

Cuz I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feelin’ like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

I’m the typical
I’m the typical
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Because it’s draggin’ me down
Oh, I’d like to know about when
When does it all turn around?

Yeah I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feelin’ like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Break the spell (of the typical)
Break the spell (of the typical)
Can I break the spell of the typical?

I just love that line: “How long should it take somebody before they can be someone?”

As it turns out, Mute Math also have a song featured in the new movie Twilight … Didn’t especially love the movie, but I’ve found the soundtrack to be pretty darn amazing, so that tells me a little something about the band.

And, if you’d care for a little more info about the band, here’s the Wikipedia article on Mute Math.
