I have been listening....

to a gross amount of music lately. (it seems i write about music a lot.) anyway, it's just been exciting that's all. i love how i have listened to song after song after song after song for hours not finding one i like. but then there's one i find that totally blows me away. and finding that one song completely makes up for the hours i lost listening to the stuff i don't like. i'm sure you get the same sensation i get when you hear a song that really lights you up. you know, the chill that makes all your hair stand up.

usually i am a guy who looks for songs that have righteous music. that's what really gets my attention, but lately it's been the lyrics. here a some that have been stuck in my head like crazy lately...

"when the bible is a bottle and the hardwood floor is home/when morning comes twice a day or not at all/if i break in two would you put me back together/when this puzzle's figured out would you still/be around."

that's an Uncle Tupelo song called 'still be around'

here are other songs that melt my brain...

'Hallelujah' by Jeff Buckley.
'52-50' by O.A.R.
anything that Son House sings.
'Maps' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
'Sylvia Plath' by Ryan Adams.
'Still Be Around' by Uncle Tupelo.
anything by Xavier Rudd.
