Music...

last weekend was great. i got paid, friends traveled to manhattan, drinks with roommates, sneaking into a hotel to go hot-tubbing, good movies, crazy stories, 5 hours at a coffee shop, and a lot of fun.

the weekend ended by going over to my new friend's stephanie and bonnie's house for some hookah and stories. we ended up playing a game where we thought of different songs and let our minds take us back to a memory. steph told us about this song and how it made her think of riding her father's motorcycle in the summer. i almost felt like i was there with her as she described it. it was good.

'linger' by the cranberries - i remember being in the girl's room in oxford while 8 of us turned the lights out and listened to this song. i remember feeling very peaceful.



'i want you back' by nsync - i remember mowing my lawn listening to this song on repeat between 6th and 7th grade. i remember thinking how i'd made a horrible decision to break up with my girlfriend at the time. i later wrote this song into a note for her...and yes, i got her back.



'stars' by david crowder - i remember being on the side of marion county lake talking with josh tedder about his mom. changed my perspective about life.



'auto rock' by mogwai - if my life had a soundtrack, this song would be the top track. it makes me feel simple and inspired.

God bless music.

Hey! Yes, God bless music!
The first time I ever heard Stars was in Brad's car, next to you, driving back from Pillsbury. We just had our first "bf/gf floor date" and went to the cemetery. We were all struck by the awesomeness that was the sky... and it was wonderful! You and I were with Lauren and Brad riding back in Brad's car. You suggested he play stars by DCB, I said I'd never heard him before, you said buckle up and listen. Then we just stared out the back window as we drove back to Manhattan. Good times :)
