Well, we're halfway through June. Remember that time I was surprised it was May? Well that felt like last week. Shit. This whole time thing is getting out of hand.
It's been a crazy week. Hectic days. Long hours at the office. The added stress of trying to find another house to move into (although the open houses and visits have been fun). I'm tired and couldn't be more thankful that it is Friday. I'm really looking forward to just sitting back and kicking my feet up.
But first, before we can get there, we have to listen some music right?
So this week, the first song I'm presenting you is a throwback. A pure, clean track from the late 90's. I'm sure you all remember The Counting Crows. Well, I happened to be picking up a new toothbrush in Rite Aid this week and the following song was pumping through the stereo system. It was late, almost 10:30 and I was just captured by it. It had been years since the last time I heard it and I just stood in the aisle bobbing my head and tapping my foot throughout the entire thing. Only when it was over did I snap out of it and continue to the register. True story. It made me smile though, reminding me of what I was doing back in 1999. Hopefully it'll stir up some memories for you as well. This is The Counting Crows' "Hanginaround."
Song number two is just as much of a throwback. Hailing from 1997. But this time I don't have a story about it or some anicdote. I just honestly think it is one of the most beautiful songs out there. Why? I'm not too sure. The beginning guitar gets me. The lyrics hit home. How it manages to start so delicately but then kick into a solid rock song. It just resonates. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I always have. This is Third Eye Blind's "Motorcycle Drive By."
