Saturday Night. Will's watching the Bourne Ultimatum. I'm blogging. Haleigh's listening to Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine. Well not really, but you should be. The song is deliciously amazing. I haven't heard one in a while that makes my body actually physically feel something. The last one that had a similar reaction would probably be John Mayer's Come Back to Bed. I used to literally feel my heart crushing when that one came on. Crushing where I'd frantically grab for the ibuprofen in the glove compartment and swallow four of them with my spit if no liquid or Nyquil was available. Thankfully that particular Mayer masterpiece never really had radio airtime...but I'd occasionally put it on in the car while I was feeling masochistic. Which was more often than not. Come to think of it, I think I conveniently lost that CD. No wonder I've been feeling so good for the past two years. There haven't been many songs that do that to me. Call me melodically-emotionally challenged, rigid, whatever. Another would be The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice. Love at first hear. Friendly advice, click on over to itunes (I'll reimburse you later), go to Limewire to steal it, or run into Best Buy, create a diversion, hurdle the security bars and run...just listen to it. I haven't even bothered looking up lyrics for Flightless Bird. I wouldn't want to ruin it with lyrics. You'll hear the magic, trust me. Youtube it if you don't want to spend the dollar. Just get it in your head as soon as humanly possible.
A couple more for your enjoyment:
1. Hometown Glory by Adele
2. Warning Sign by Coldplay...welcome back to earth if you haven't gone through a phase of obsessiveness for this one.
Oh no, I'm blogging about music. How Kanye/Samantha Ronson is THAT?
until later-

Oh Taylor, Flightless Bird, American Mouth is one of the most amazing songs EVER! I just hate that the lyrics are so insane. And don't even get me started on the amazing band that is Coldplay.
