Prophecy

Synchronicity. It’s not just the title of an old Police album. It’s a universal force.
The other night, I finally got around to watching the DVRed season finale episode of How I Met Your Mother. At the end of the episode, they had a song playing over the last few scenes, as these sort of shows do from time to time. The good old “End of the Episode” musical montage. Rescue Me does it on practically every episode. Anyway, the song playing sounded very familiar. Sounded like a New Pornographers song, but one I didn’t recognize. I surmised it must be a song from NP lead singer AC Newman’s latest solo album Get Guilty, which I had downloaded from eMusic but only listened to once so far.
So after the show I went into iTunes to look up the song, but I wasn’t getting sound out of the computer. I had redirected the audio through my Logitech Music Anywhere USB widget so I could listen to iTunes on my living room stereo earlier in the evening when I was reading. In order to hear anything, I had to restart iTunes. But I didn’t want to do that just then because I was syncing/charging the iPhone. So I went to bed and decided to just pursue it in the morning.
Cue the next morning. My iHome clock radio alarm goes off at the usual time. I have it set to wake me with my oldest iPod, which I have set to shuffle play. Guess which song it played? Yep, the very same AC Newman song from the Mother episode. This is out of some 3300 songs stored on the iPod.
The title of the song? “Prophets”.
Latre.
