Just a quick drive by to highlight my current overplayed song of the moment (thanks to Mr OD)... Florence & The Machine's Shake it Out. The lyrics are just amazing, from start to finish. I will admit that on first listen I didn't like the song but when I listened to the lyrics, it was love at second listen :)
All the words just really connect with me. If ever there was a song for this blog this would be it. For me it's about having had enough, letting go no matter what it takes, hoping, facing the future...love it!!!
Lyrics like - Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground...I am done with my graceless heart so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart...And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope...It's always darkest before dawn...And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back so shake him off - I especially love that last line. Anyway here's a link, enjoy.
P.S - Someone recently noted that this blog makes me seem like I'm all about the music and not about the books. Unfortunately the only reason that I haven't highlighted any books is because it's been a while since I read a really great book. I think the last book I read that made me happy...weird word to use I know but good reads make me happy even if the book is not a happy book per se...anyway the last book was Jennifer Donnelly's The Wild Rose and that was in March/April. But though the book took me to my happy place it's not of universal appeal as it's a romance saga. Unfortunately I'm still searching for another White Tiger or Count of Monte Cristo, my all time top two. When I find it I'll be sure to share the joy. Until then, enjoy the music :)
