I recently purchased an old cd, Natalie Merchant's "Tigerlily." That album was released when I was just starting college. I listened to the whole thing last night. Wow, all I can say is wow! This cd brings back so many memories. My friend Chaz and I used to take road trips all over Wisconsin and Michigan listening to that tape blaring in my Chevy Corsica. If you have never heard the tracks, it is a slow and somewhat sad album. It is true what people say about scent and sound holding the key to your memories.
My favorite tracks on this album are: San Andreas Fault, Beloved Wife, The Letter, and Seven Years. I highly recommend this album for a night of relaxation in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine and a lot of personal reflection.
So I recently posted about my new love for the Miley Cyrus song, "7 things." I have yet another addiction, but not to the Hannah Montana queen. Have you listened to the newly released single by Ali Lohan? The single is entitled, "All the Way Around." I took a quick listen and it was love at first sound. I know, there must be something wrong with me. I have always been a bit of a pop fan, but this is getting ridiculous. I actually have a strong love for the alternative music genre, but lately all these teen pop songs have caught my ear.
So I ask you...is there any relief in sight?
I am the first person to complain that Hanna Montana/Miley Cyrus is taking over the world. At least that is how it seems when every time you turn the corner there is her face on a billboard, in a magazine, or her voice on the radio. Still, I must admit that I love the song called see you again. As if that wasn't bad enough, I now have fallen in love with the newest single released by her called 7 things. I am ashamed, but not enough to stop listening. My conscience keeps telling me that I am a grown adult and I should stop listening. But still I continue to play the songs. Does anyone else have this problem?
Tonight I was listening to random songs on my ipod. I like all different genres of music, anything from classical to a little bit of rap. A song played called Happy Ending by Sugarland. This is a country song that I am sure I have heard before. Yet, in light of recent self reflection this song resonated with me. If you have never heard it, I recommend taking a listen. I have always known that country songs are great at telling stories, but this song has a great message.
