Maybe this is a cop out - maybe it's a way to just breeze by, but writing sometimes get hard - especially when it is 12:30am. Could I write some existential shit and leave you wondering or scratching your head? Of course I could.
Could I write some wacked out story and make no sense? Yup. I could even continue my "alien" story, but it doesn't feel right tonight and I want to do it just - not disappoint those who are following it.
So instead, I'm going to post a song. It's a new one - one I love very very much, especially for just hearing it within the last week. Oh, yeah, I'm sure you guessed it by now - it's the Foo Fighters. Surprise!
So what is it about this song? I'm not really sure. It's the classic Foo song - loud to the core, tons of guitar up front and some of he best drumming in music in the background. It could be the fact that it's extremely uplifting or that it starts slow then builds to a climax that will just give you goosebumps. Maybe it's the lyrics, soothing, and supporting. Could it be Grohl's vocals? That would make sense - harsh but mellow and those screams, oh man, perfect.
Good music to me shakes me to the core. When I hear it, I literally tingle all over - as if every hair on my body is standing on edge. Every one of their songs does it to me - but this WHOLE song gets me. Much like the rest of the album. The climax starting at 2:20 - sublime.
Oh wait - I got why this song means so much to me. It's relevant to my life at the moment and it will always be from here on out.
Why not give it a listen and see if you can figure it out.
Mom - listen hard, this one's for you.
Drew, thank you. I am sitting here crying, having listened to the song twice - I listened hard. And, I will keep listening to it on the days when I feel like all I can do is stumble.
ReplyDeleteGreat song - for both of us, and Christo, too.
ieyu, ilys,
Mom
