It's interesting that the words and thoughts of one person can be so easily related to someone else. You know those days when you're listening to your music library, and almost every song that comes on makes you wonder how your iPod knows what you were feeling? I've had a lot on my mind lately, and the songs that play in shuffle are just spot on.
Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Don't Panic - Coldplay
The World May Never Know - Dr. Dog
Talk To Me - Peaches
Keep Breathing - Ingrid Michaelson
Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
Babylon - David Gray
Talk - Coldplay
You Don't Know Me - Ben Folds & Regina Spektor
Come Together - The Beatles
There's more, but again, I'm just listing songs. It's just so interesting when lyrics explain perfectly what you're thinking or feeling. I mean, how many songs are there? Millions? Billions? And yet the handful in my iTunes describe precisely what I can't say? Some of those songs hit so close to home as well. A lot more songs are about grief and whatnot, and with the looming birthday of someone, it's not hard to gravitate towards those songs. My family draw out a lot of interesting feelings in me. If they ever read this, I hope they don't get hugely offended, because I wouldn't ever ask for any more or any less family than I have. That's a lie; I'll be forever asking for one of them back, but they know what I mean.
I'm sure I'll write a happy post on here at some point. It'll be sometime soon. I can feel it.
This too shall pass.
