30 Songs in 30 Days, Day 27 - A song that you wish you could play

I wish I could play, period.

I haven't played since 2009. 

Anyway.

There is this one song that I love. The lyrics are beautiful, but that's not what I listen to. It's the MUSIC. It's the deceptively simple guitar melodies in the background...as the song goes on, the other instruments come in. While this is happening, the song is coming to a crescendo, and then being brought back down, over and over again, while still staying beautifully simple.

  2. This is beautiful and I didn't even have to shut my eyes to appreciate it. I bet it sounds greats with headphones.

  4. Forence + the Machine. If you haven't heard of them before, listen to Ceremonials.

    1. I always say I'll get caught up on things on the weekend, but I'm so tired by Friday night, I sleep all day Saturday. Never enough time...

  7. I never catch up on the weekends. The weekends are a time to fall further behind.

    1. I guess. I have nothing to catch up on except sleep. I've let everything else go. I have no illusions about ever catching up on the rest of my life.

  8. I've always been able to play almost anything but sometimes I have trouble hearing the real music which exists just under the surface.

    1. It's funny that I know EXACTLY what you mean. Dwayne will catch me sometimes in the car when we have the radio on and ask me what I'm doing because I have a certain look on my face...the answer is almost always, 'Shhh, I'm trying to hear...'. :)
