Sharing means caring. I love to share music if I feel youre worthy. Music is my lifeline. I love when someone enjoys a recommendation and tells me about it. Call it validation if you will. One of the hardest sales though, is BRIGHT EYES. I find that most people cringe when they first hear it and continue to do so the second and third time too. I guess I wasn’t exactly sold the first time I heard BE either, but once I listened to his lyrics, I was hooked. The man just has way with words, in my opinion. Trying to make someone listen to the words to his words in my presence isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do. Oh well. I refuse to drop my cause though. I finally got my sis to like LUA. Great success. Huge- really.
Another one of my most favorite bands are JIMMY EAT WORLD. I haven’t blogged about them because I feel that I cannot even do them justice with my simple style of writing. I know that sounds ridiculous but its true. When I truly LOVE a band, I become intimidated to write about the effect they have on me. I shit you not, Ive been putting off writing about them from the inception of this blog. Ugh, even writing this down feels like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Im going to keep this short and sweet. Most people automatically think of that song THE MIDDLE, when they hear their name, but that song was just a snip it of radio hit fodder. Lets get to the meat and potatoes, shall we??
HEAR YOU ME. Sheer beauty in a ballad. Perfection. Gives me the goose bumps. 23, another great song. So candid and moving. I guess what I really love about JEW are the deep confessionals that take place in each and every song. You know exactly what youre getting into when you choose to listen to them. When I need a huge hug- I listen to them. After a draining day, it hits the spot. Need a good cry? Yep. Feeling reflective? Mhmm. Wow, I sound emo, but its true, besides, who the hell am I kidding? I AM emo. Shoot me. FUTURES would have to be my most favorite album but CLARITY is right there with it. BLEED AMERICAN had an interesting story due to its release and the sensitivity of 9-11 and was renamed JIMMY EAT WORLD. IF YOU DON’T, DON’T is an amazing track off of that record. LUCKY DENVER MINT is an upbeat track with waves of intensity. CHASE THIS LIGHT is their newest album. I love the cover, its a huge peacock feather- really cool. I like it but I love their older stuff a lot more. If I needed to choose one word to describe their music, Id choose bittersweet. I can go on and on forever about these guys but as it is this post is pretty long and my frozen coffee is melting.. So… check them out if you want.
LOVES.
