Music Everywhere!

Music has been on my mind a lot lately. I've been basking in the wonder of how songs (with or without words) can touch us so much and such affects on people. Some songs I listen to and this feeling of awakening washes over me, a feeling that wishes I could speak so truthfully and elquently. Part of this is brought on by the Cloud Cult concert Annie, Neil, and I went to. I've never heard Cloud Cult until that day at the concert and I fell for their words (and the cool idea they have of having people painting during the concerts and then auctioning the paintings off afterwards) I wish I had some good pics of the band but they are all super blurry so I won't even bother posting them. But again, there is one song that I'm just so attracted to.....here it is...

Cloud Cult-Journey of the Featherless

Got myself a mission
I'm going to find heaven
I made crepe paper wings
I think they'll carry me awhile

I left you a love poem
The best I have written
My favorite words
Were the ones I couldn't spell

They say I'm a lunatic
They say I am full of it
I say that it's worth dreaming
Just for the dream of it

It's all about passion
It's all about perception
Don't call me on my cellphone
'Cause there ain't no reception

When I'm gone
When I'm gone

I think I'm growing feathers
But I'm not quite sure of it
'Cause I started getting dizzy
About a hundred feet up

I made friends with the clouds
I made friends with the birds
If you ask a goose a question
He never shuts up

And honestly I miss you
And I hope that your missing me
'Cause I could use your lips on me
And a little bit of Dramamine

For the moment I can see
Way better than I've ever seen
Don't sell my stuff on Ebay
'Cause I might be back before I'm gone

Before I'm gone

I'm not the kind of man
Who's into looking downward
I drank my share of pity
From the bartender's cup

So many people Wondering "What's the right direction"
As far as I'm concerned
There's only one way up

And my fingers, they are blisters
And my eyes, they are bullet holes
But my heart's still beating
Guess I'm pretty lucky
I'm not sure what it is about the song but when I hear it I feel it's so true for me or at least a place where I wish I could be...I'm having a moment here where I just feel like smiling because I think of my friends and how lucky I am to have ALL of them because none of them are completely alike and I love that! So many different funny moments with each and I know they all love me and care for me deeply. Sometimes I feel I don't return their love enough but I will die trying! I don't think having a "movie life" is impossible to gain, we all have moments that were sure only ever happen in the movies and yet it's my life. I really wish I felt like this all the time, especially since nothing really good happened today and I still have a outdoor kickball game at 11 that I'm not looking forward to. I think just looking forward to going home and seeing everyone just has me in smiles! Going home is so much more fun when you have time to miss it! haha! So laugh today or tomorrow, or the day after it, everyone needs it. It's wonderful to feel like this, oh I hope it lasts! (at least just for a bit) to end this whole thing I am posting a video I found recently that's kinda old...since Danielle is like the only person who reads this blog I feel no guilt in posting this!
