there's a version of mmmbop 25 years later that's slowed down slightly and that downshift makes the lyrics seem poignant somehow, in a way that eluded many of us when it was just a 'bop'

"The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself."
-- Henry Miller
The quote in context of the larger paragraph, taken from Henry Miller's "Plexus", p. 56. Five sentences later, he notes presciently, "Sometimes one makes the mistake or commits the sin, shall I say, of trying to fix the moment, trying to pin it down in words." The original quote: “The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself”
