I'm not that basic I swear.
(this one is my all time favorite.)
More times than I'd like to count in this last week, I've sprawled out on my floor and turned up the Rilo, thus creating what Second Helpings refers to as the corpse position in yoga, and spent a decent amount of time laying in the dark, breathing and listening to Jenny Lewis singing. I've probably done this for at least a half an hour each day, and that’s when I discovered how amazing More Adventurous really is. For seriously the last year and 3 months I've thought it was the worst album ever, I mean Portions is a classic (THERES A PRETTY YOUNG THING IN FRONTA YOU AND SHES REALLY PRETTY AND SHES REAL INTO YOU) and It's a Hit lived up to its name (ANY IDIOT CAN PLAY GREEK FOR A DAY) but there were no other real gems on that record. But then I discovered The Absence of God, and after about 5 listens I got really into it. The way she uses names in all of these songs just makes them better like this lyric "and Mike I'll teach you how to swim if you turn the bad in me...into good again" seriously that sums up a good portion of my life in 18 words. After my 36 hour addiction to that I found A Man/Me/Then Jim I just died, seriously, it's the most beautiful song ever written, the melody, the way her voice flows along with the words, everything works together so amazing it seriously took my breath away. The first time I heard it I swear I didn't breathe right away. Take Offs and Landings was adequate but it wasn't my favorite, her voice is too rough and clearly that album was the result of a bad breakup of the boy she was in love with on the Execution of all Things. Plane Crash in C is my favorite off that one. Jenny Lewis and her boys have this incredible way of taking things that I feel and twisting the words around so it describes everything perfectly. I have never felt this connected I'd say to a band, or even a person. Rilo Kiley will always be my favorite band, no matter what. I wish that I could go through each song of theirs and just take it into context and tell you all how that song relates to my life, when it relates to my life and how it makes me feel, because seriously there is not one song of theirs that I haven't felt a connection to.
If I die and never meet Rilo or Jenny even, I think that my life was kind of pointless.
Enough of this rant, it's getting crazy. Bottom line, I love Rilo Kiley so much I can't stand it.
P.S.
