Losing my mind, one tiny brain cell at a time
American Idol has wrecked me! Stealth-style! I didn't even realize how addicted I became to David Cook until very recently. I feel like I'm 12 years-old again and mad crushing...damn, who did I crush on when I was 12? Julian Lennon and a-ha. Heh. I still love both, BTW. Fan girl loyalty FTW!
Anyhoo, I really only wanted to comment on DC's last song: The World I Know by Collective Soul. It's is one of my favorite songs. I first heard it at a very low moment in my life and it has somehow become connected with memories of pulling myself up and over a whole bunch of pain and grief. Hearing Cook sing it was just too much. I was tearing up right along with him.
I also heard Collective Soul play this at a concert. I was lying on the grass, looking up at the bluest sky, and feeling very much 'all's right with the world.' That simple moment in time is one of the best memories I have. And David Cook brought all that back to me tonight. *sniffle*
Me and my wannabe tweeny-ass are off to cry into our pillows...
