There's a lot of kinds of music. There's music that makes you happy or sad, or takes away pain. Music that induces it, like a memory slapping across your face.

It's somehow validating, I think that's why we all like it so much. Like if there's some sort of manifestation of what we feel inside somewhere out there, maybe it's okay. Maybe we're not doing anything wrong. Comforting.

Edit:
I don't care what people say about this album. I think it's pretty great.

"Cotton candy and a rotten mouth
You know you're so fucked up
You know I couldn't help but have it for you

And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
And knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked up
I'm totally fucked up
Wish you were here

And streets that only turn to boulevards
And houses with back yards
and it's raining like hell on the cars
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
Knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked
I'm totally fucked
Wish you were here

And if I could have my way
We'd take some drugs
And we'd smile
We'd smile
We'd smile
But not tonight, my dear
Wish you were here"

I have a new obsession,and they're called The Dangerous Summer. It is my understanding they have a 2011 release that is coming up soon, so I'm catching up with "Reach for the Sun." Which is awesome. Kind of reminds me of Gratitude (who I am now going to Pandora).



"Am I wrong, or is this really what you want to happen?
When all I want to do is have this, I'm not strong enough to stand.
'Cause I've been pushed around before.
I felt the burn from every inch of my heart,
but it's worth it to never feel alone."

Mmmmm live Avett Brothers...lovin the harmonies, and the guy with the cello kind of makes it. Although I don't know if he himself is an Avett brother?

In any case, excellent performance.



There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it

Tonight I sang "Sweetness" at open mic night. And it felt fucking great.

What a dizzy dance,
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me.
