only once in a while...
people that know me well know that i think most music is really annoying these days. it has always seemed to me that music could mean so much more than just a hit on the charts. most albums have 1 song that is worth listening to and 12 that absolutely should have never been written. at least that is my opinion. it is rare that i ever find one song that i truly, truly love. in fact, i can only remember a handful of songs in my whole life that seem to say what i would say, if only i could say it like that. don't get the wrong picture. i listen to a lot of music. i can enjoy music that is good, but it's only when i hear a song i fall in love with that i remember what good has been before. these are rarely ever songs that i would say i would play at my wedding, my funeral, my proudest day, or my worst. it is only right for the second i am in. and it's only right b/c it brings something special to my emotions.
what i have found recently makes me feel, and reminds me only, of one other song i can remember like it. it is just rare that i get attached to a song b/c of the lyrics, the music, the nostalgia, the "all kinds of stuff" that it makes me feel, want to feel, and some things i never want to feel. joey rarely shows me music he likes anymore. he says i am way too critical. the funny thing is that for the most part there is a lot of "good" music out there. but i suppose i just have a certain feel that i look for. i am a piano player. so i love to hear piano. i love to hear piano that is barely there. i have played for hours and hours by myself before just playing two, maybe three keys the whole time. i just like to find what all i can do with it. i like singing to those keys w/ no wonderful voice, no distinct sound, just kind of talking to the piano.
i said all that to say this...
James Blunt is one of my new favorites. actually it's one song that i love. the rest are just, hmm, good but not the best. for me. the song is Goodbye My Lover. i love it's simplicity. i will dance to that song soon and enjoy every second of it, even if by myself in the dark. it would be worth it. only one other song described in a weird way the way that i felt the second i listened to it. mazzy star's song Fade Into You on her album So Tonight That I Might See. i heard it first what seems like a century ago now. i can still remember where i was the first time i heard it. i remember everything that happened around that second. i will remember this new song that way. Please, don't judge james by his radio hit You're Beautiful. i don't care for that song for much more than that it's just a "good" song. i'm sure those that were around will not remember me falling in love w/ mazzy star's song that night. i put it on repeat for probably an hour. just as i am doing this new song. i did a sigur ros song that way.
Edit : funny. i am way too critical perhaps. i read the lyrics to rest of the songs, and listened to the rest of the songs on the cd. i don't care for them much at all. the music is good though. and my song...is still my song.
