Its only words, and words are all I have...

Music isn't my first love, heck for the longest time it wasn't even a love. So it's really weird, to me at least, that I seem to have this musical love affair going on in my life at the moment...perfect example, my post titles.

I'm a book person, always have been, hopefully always will be. I have been known to throw tantrums if I find myself without reading material. As a child I fought wars with KK over who got to read a book first. Once I even got my poor mama to phone around late at night looking for a book for me to read...she found me one because she knew no one was sleeping that night if she failed.

Then Steve Jobs came along with the damn Ipod and made it easy for me not only to access music but to carry it around with me. Also I could download a song without buying the whole album...damn him!!! So now I find myself cheating on books with music. And what's worse is that I'm listening to all kinds of music, I'm giving all and sundry a try. I never did that with books....Stephen King books...over my dead cold body will you catch me reading one, and never ever again will I pick up a Danielle Steele. As for James Patterson....hmmph he's on my ish list with his damn Alex Cross (seriously I refuse to believe that dude is black!!!!) and lets not even mention the one where Alex Cross goes to Nigeria.

But music...look at me buying Vivaldi's Four Season's (Spring rocks!) in one moment and then Artful Dodger in the next (re-e-wind, let the crowd say bo...lovely memories). So I'm definitely not a music snob though I stopped short at getting Whigfield's Saturday Night, even though I really wanted to.

However, the songs I like the best are the ones that like I've mentioned before 'speak to me'. Where the words in a line or a verse just strikes a chord within. I remember reading a quote somewhere once that said something like - a song will always outlive a sermon in your memory. 

So I guess that's where my love for books and my love for music connect...words. 

That's it. I'm in love with words.

What a post. Maybe Mr OD is right, I may not be sober tonight :)
