A traditional idea of a first date begins with knocking on the front door with flowers, going to a restaurant or movie, and returning home. Rascal Flats shows in Rewind that this type of generic date is not always the beginning of great things. Instead, the man takes his date for a drink and a view from the bed of his old truck.
Now, you may be thinking that this type of date is cheap and that the guy simply wanted to save some money on a date comes to mind. But when you listen to the song and watch the video, you see that your thoughts are not based on the truth.
The guy wanted to give his date a fresh look at life, showing that he spent time planning the night. A traditional date is what she expected, but what she got was more. Much more. A modern date filled with drinks, good music, laughter, and happiness.
Living a life full of happiness is what we are all after, and Rascal Flat nails the emotion right on the head. Rewind shows that a modern first date can be so amazing. So breathtaking that you want to rewind the night and do it again.
Not to change things to make them better, but to follow the same actions and tasks to repeatedly relive the night. A great date should never end, but unfortunately, it will have to close eventually. You may not ever be able to actually rewind and relive, but the memories can always play in your thoughts and your dreams.
This video by Rascal Flats portrays an aspect of aging that we all wish could happen. There are times when memories push us ahead in life, and others are so heart-stopping that you would love to replay them. Rewind is a song that touches all our hearts, making us realize that all we have are memories to live by.
