So the combination of spotify and having friends with good taste in music has made me find TONS of new music. It's hard to listen to it all. This week I've been in a bluegrassy, acoustic type of music mood.
Avett Brothers
Noah and The Whale
Bombay Bicycle Club
Band of Horses
(Who I saw live last week. If you ever get the chance. Go.)
Nickel Creek
This song has spoken to me.
Found it about 1:07 AM last night. And as I was listening to the lyrics.
The story told is simple and resonant.
A plus on lyrics. Signs of good music.
It's about the joy and pain, resolution and confusion, and all the other paradoxical pieces of relationships. Even though the girl knows up front it will end in pain she puts up with so much for the experience of being close with someone. She can't complain because what she shared, to her, is worth it... but is the impending hurt and loneliness worth it? Or would she be better off not knowing any different?
And thus we see another song begging the age old question of if it is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all?
We'll continue to answer through music, poetry, and living.
listen on.
