So Rob Thomas was on Ellen this morning and his new single is decidedly catchy. Everyone at studio was singing it today...needless to say it caught on.
So I bought it on itunes because it got me thinking about how I used to love and I mean LOVE Matchbox 20. Because Billy loved them and he gave me all of their CDs and how I lost all those CDs freshman year.
So I searched itunes for Mad Season. I don't think that I can express how much this CD got me at the end of my senior year of high school. You know how a bunch of songs just narrates your life at a specific time. There I was, 17 years old just broken up with the first love of my life, about to move away from the only home I had ever known and listening to Mad Season literaly every single day of my life in my White Chevy Corsica. Driving home from Albuquerque crying my eyes out and listening to Angry
So I started listening to the songs on itunes and strangely enough 4 years later at the end of my senior year of college the cd still fucking gets me. Here I am 21 years old and single and about to be done with school maybe forever and all I want to do is listen to Mad Season on my White ipod.
So I have changed in the last 4 years, this I will admit, but aparantly I haven't changed that much. Or maybe when music gets you that much it just never leaves you.
Another example of this is Robbie Williams Escapeology in November of Sophomore year. And the Scorpions Album when I was 6 (don't ask) Like Emily said then, that is what great pop music is.
"you still want love, but not without affection"
"This won't be the first heart that you break, you won't be the last beautiful girl in the world"
"I think I've already lost you, I think that you're already gone"
