20 June 2008

There's a lot to be said about fashion and new places to shop and eat and play in Seattle. But yours truly is having a hard time mustering up the energy to tell you all about it. Because, right now? Things are busy. Life's leading me in a direction I haven't approved and I've got more on my mind than what this little space asks of me.

I've been sinking deeply into music. Music that allows me to sing at the top of my lungs in my car and dance like my neighbors can't see me. I've been turning my borrowed ipod volume up to a level that my doctor wouldn't approve of. Talking about lyrics and chords and beats. And most of it? I'd be totally embarrassed if you heard. But most of it? I really really love and for the first time ever, music is the "thing" that's keeping me going. Moving from day to day. Making life that much better to be living.

I've been pulling from a veteran collection of CD's and records. Some of which I don't even remember buying. But all of which I remember loving. All in all, I think the nostalgia of it all is what I love.

Currently in my disc man (yes, disc man):

Sheryl Crow, I Shall Believe

Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe

I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is
gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every
time I try to make
it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you
won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe

Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key

Never again
would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe

That not everything is
gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every
time I try to make
it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe

If you think that's terrible - you'd be ashamed to know I've got Mariah Carey in Que.
