There is really nothing better in the world then music. Really. Nothing. For me, it is the purest expression of the human condition. And thank the universe for it.
Recently, my dear friend Carleen sent me some Cd’s. We have a deep history of musical connection, and after 11 years of not being in contact with one another, and then reuniting, the Cd’s reminded me of every possible thing pertaining to our friendship. It was refreshing. As I have lost touch with the musical world with my busy life and all the stress that has gone along with it. But, it reminded me that all I need is a song to get me through the rough spot, to celebrate a good feeling, to make my body move after being stagnant at a desk all day, something to enjoy with Wesley, words that will explain what I am trying to express.
Here is what she sent me:
“Dying to say this to you”
A great “driving in your car with your over sized sunglasses, smoking, I’m single and a little perturbed” CD.
“We are Pilot”
A close sound to The Killers, but with a chick, and that makes everything a little bit better.
Self Titled
Pretty much takes the feelings right out of my heart and explains them out loud.
If I could have had the “Movie break-up. The deliciously, beautiful, painfull breakup that ends completely after only 1 hour and 45 minutes with a happy ending” this would be the soundtrack. It speaks my broken heart perfectly.
Down to Earth
I have heard most of this stuff before. But none the less. She’s great. Another “soundtrack to my life” girl.
It’s just some random Turkish club cd, but as you can expect, it is very enjoyable. I like listening to is with wesley. He likes to pick out words and sing them, which is hysterical, since neither of us have any idea what they are saying. If we listen to it enough, Dubb’s is sure to be fluent in no time.
Anyway, chances are you have all enjoyed these bands a time or two and I am just WAY behind, but it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t share!
Enjoy!
