Music in my head
You know, James Blunt really is good. I have to admit that when I first heard "You're Beautiful" several years ago I thought that his whiny voice would soon disappear as a one hit wonder. The radio stations got their kick out of overloading it which didn't suit his cause either. So a year or so ago I caught an Austin City Limits on PBS and he has playing and it was my first exposure to his other stuff and I have to say that I've been listening to him ever since. While I thought that he was quite whiny in the beginning, his voice is amazingly soothing. His lyrics are well thought out and incredibly meaningful to me. I know I've found a good artist when I can listen to his music through my entire range of emotions and there's always a song that fits.
David Gray is another one that I've been mesmerized with as well. His voice is exceptional as well yet his lyrics aren't quite as strong ad Blunts. Although I often play the two back and forth over and over for a bit if a mix. I think I have overplayed David Gray a little much for me since I find that I'm skipping his songs a little more often lately.
If you haven't yet really listened to either, I would highly recommend doing so.
Random thought while I was writing that: why is it I turn my music down at intersections? I listen to my music loudly all the time when I'm alone, yet I still feel the need to lower the volume when stopping at a light. I guess I don't feel the need to potentially subject others to the song of the day. That's it, I'm just being considerate of others. I wish the "thumpers" would take that cue sometimes. But more power to them for enjoying their music loud!
