Music Improves.

This doesn’t exactly match up to Music Heals The Soul, but I guess this is my way of saying that these are the sounds that I’ve been going on in the weeks gone past.

I think Somebody To Love is such an evocative opener, or rather it has an evocative opening. Still, I suspect I think that way mainly because I watched Little DJ – Chiisa na Koi no Monogatari. Moving down the list, there’s lots and lots of acoustic-ish guitar strumming and arpeggios. I guess that’s because there’s lots of Wilco. Most days in these past few weeks, I haven’t really been in the mood for Rock. Not everything’s mellow and comfortably abstract, though. Have I ever mentioned that I think If She Wants Me is one of the most infectiously happy songs ever? Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood is similarly animating. (The song was also mentioned in American Gods by Neil Gaiman, but he was probably referring to the version by The Animals.) I hope you get my drift. These songs have made many days and many hours better.

I am falling into quite a negative pattern of rush posts just before I leave the house to catch the boat. In a way, I guess I had much more I felt I had to write this weekend, but I never found the time, so this is… a compromise.

Still happy.
