On the money!!!!!

I am not a John Mayer fan. Personally I think the guy is a wannabe hipster douchenugget. But godammit he can write. I am talking about a song on his album Continuum, "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room". This song just about sums me up right now. All that has happened in my relationship in the past couple of months. All in that song. I can't even listen to it right now. It's still too raw and too sore and too fresh. But fuck, I identify so much with it. Every word.

I have always been a big lyrics girl. There are so many songs for so many emotions, moods, days........I love them. I am not ashamed to say even artists such as Rihanna ( who does not put paper to pen) or Pink, have a poignancy and trueness to them I find amazing. You got fired? song for it. You broke up with someone you are still in love with? THOUSANDS upon millions. You are in the beginning stages of falling in love, again, millions. You have crashed your car? or spilled jam on your white top? There is absolutely a song for that, somewhere.

I don't have the amazing ability so many people have of being able to listen to a song once and know every lyric, every oooh and aaaah in the song. But lyrics touch me and I pay attention. I could care less if it's the Tellytubbies, if I can identify, relate or am touched in some way? Kudos.

Last week I found myself cleaning my apartment with Rage Against the Machine whacked all the way up and hey! guess what? Zac and the boys are more relevant today than they were in 1992. Maybe we should all start to rage against the machine instead of being so fucking complacent about everything? I am just using that as an example. I am going to keep my politics, or lack thereof, out of this blog. Maybe that is a poor example, but it's one that I thought of and hell, who cares. It's the power of the lyrics.

I wish I could write, I admire and adore people who can. People who can touch my life and make me cry, make me smile, make me laugh, make me think, make me angry, make me want to live better.
I leave you with a BEAUTIFUL lyric from the ever hot Josh Homme........one of my favorites ever:
"But I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live".............
HOPE!
