Why am I blogging about music randomly?
I don't really know.
I guess it's because I am so moved, so inspired by it, that it compels me to write.
Over a year ago, my 4 gig ipod nano was running out of space. I had some money saved up, so I planned to buy myself a 16 gig ipod touch, which would allow me to listen to my heart's desire. I proposed my idea to my mom, who responded with "You ran out of space? Just take a couple hundred songs off. It's not like you listen to all 1000 songs!" (or something along those lines). I tried that, and found myself upset when I was in the mood for a song that wasn't on there. Needless to say, I bought the ipod touch. Now I have 2000 songs, haha.
I'm an acoustic-cover fiend (as you can see by the majority of the songs on my playlist). I love alternative and am a sucker for a sick electric guitar solo. Country? Not so much. Pop? Ehh, depends on the song or artist. Rap? No.

I bought my mom and I tickets for a March concert of John Mayer. Basically, I love him. I put one of my favorite songs by him on my playlist (In Your Atmosphere). Not the best picture, but that's him. Yes, he's politically incorrect, yes a lot of people don't like him, but his raw, stripped talent is overwhelming to me. I seriously love him.
Isn't it funny how listening to just one song---no, one PART of one song, floods you with memories? I often make the mistake of listening to the same playlist/artist/song during times I don't want to think of. For example, every time I listen to the album Death and All His Friends by Coldplay, I remember the time I was in the hospital in Feb 2009 for the first tune-up since I was an infant. By the way, I didn't listen to the album because of it's title. I listened to it because I love the songs. I'm not a melodramatic person. :)
One thing I bet you didn't know, I am constantly watching YouTube videos of people I do not know covering songs I love. (Hint hint...links).
Anyways, what was the point of this post?
I'm in a really musical mood, but unfortunately am too tired to articulate how much I adore it.
Goodnight sweet world :)

Music is the world's universal language. I personally don't care for John Mayer, but I LOVE COLDPLAY! I got to see them in concert a year ago today :)
Right now, I'm really into K'naan. It's rap, but the lyrics are really deep. I suggest reading a short bio on K'naan, and listen to Wavin' Flag.
Coca Cola is using that song for sponser the world cup(which I'm so psyched for!). The song seriously unites all the nations. For me, it reminds me of all my friends and family together and laughing.
