Music is a terrible thing.
I know that is a shocking thing to say, but it's true. This is because music is like having a million different friends. Each one has a story or idea that can be interpreted in a million different ways. How is that a good thing? I sit and listen to some many different genre of music and what happens is I experience a massive range of emotions. Let me give you an example by 6 songs I have just listened to and how they make me feel.
1. If I Had $1,000,000 - Barenaked Ladies- Made me feel very close to the relationship I am currently debating throwing out the window to move to Little Rock.
2. Beautiful World - Colin Hay - Makes me think of Scrubs, which makes me thing of JD and Turk. Awesome. But I also think of everything being great in life.
3. Holy Diver - Dio - Makes me want to rock in flames of fire. Also makes me want to have a sword fight. "Ride the tiger! You can see his stripes but you know he's clean!"
4. Who Wants to Live Forver - Breaking Benjamin - While this was originally done by Queen, I like this version. It's a battle for love and yourself. Which should I chose?
5. Home- Marc Broussard - I like the beat. It sounds similar to Robert Randolph. It talks about going down the road but going nowhere. Sometimes I feel like every choice I make is pointless, might as well go home.
6. Talk Dirty to Me - Poison - This song is just fun and makes me think of Guitar Hero and my friend Emily.
Those are a few examples. Others songs playing with these include: Fighting for My Love by Nil Lara, Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine, All in My Head by Shawn Mullins, New Slang by the Shins, Lorelei by Styx, Boys Club by Ween, Dracula From Houston by the Butthole Surfers, A Murder of One by the Counting Crows, Good Life by Francis Dunnery, and When You Were Young by the Killers.
So I had a blast from the past last night too. My high school ex gave me a call and we talked for an hour or so. She may be moving to Little Rock for medical school. That could be fun if we both lived there.
We talked about how we have lost so much contact with those inportant people from years ago. Even we had not talked for more than a few minutes in the last two years. It was good to hear her voice. That old calm came over me when we talked. Even though 4 years had passed, it felt like I just talked to her yesterday.
I titled this entry "The Clash" because of their song "Should I Stay or Should I Go". Infuego.
