Occasionally I will come across a song that I can not get enough of. Like obsess, play over and over and over and over…
I can recall being a youngin’ and standing distractedly out on the soccer field, when the wind would blow just right and I would instantly be transported into some Poison music video or some thing. I would be that girl in the video; you know- the slow shot, or the still, of the object of mystery, allure, desire….
You too? Any one?
How about this: A new song comes on. It’s the 1st time you’re hearing it and you think- “Ah! That was almost mine!” Eh? Eh? Admittedly, this is no longer a common occurance, though I can easily recall a vast amount of times where it was, in my youth.
Does the fruit tree of cosmic energy and creativity hang lower with heavy, fruit laden branches to us as children? The “idea tree” if you will, that grows in the ethers, producing thoughts available to the first person to notice, to put effort forth, or to simply just pull it down/ out?
Like I mentioned, it has been a while since the phenomenon of recognizing a song narrowly mine, missed just by a margin, has been plucked by another… Then I heard the song above a few years back, felt that old, familiar tinge, and danced along like it was written just for me.
The music really used to be better, more complex, sophisticated even when simple, relevant.
Yeah, it depends on what you listen to now though: mainstream or underground/ independent. There are some phenomenal newer bands that I just can not get enough of!
Woah, I love The Bird And The Bee. Nice pick.
Great minds think alike. <<>>
