It seems more and more often I find myself in a reflective mood, pondering the events that have made me who I am. But if you've read any of my other posts, you know I am neither verbose nor eloquent enough to describe such feelings myself. So as always, I will let those more talented than I fill the part:
Sam Beam is a beast. Plus, kudos on an excellent beard. The deal with this song is its so specific, but still so applicable to so many different situations. How many people do I know who are coming back from Iraq as ghosts? Um, none. But it still addresses one of the most fundamental questions we can ask. Everyone has dreams, goals, hopefully even plans set out to achieve them. But what do you do when you get there and they're gone? What comes next? How do you handle coming back to a family you're no longer a part of? I certainly don't know, and I don't think anyone really can.
Haha I would hate to leave you with that, so for an extra special Christmas gift to y'all privileged folk, here is a winter break (and coincidently the first) listening recommendations:
Iron & Wine - Love Vigilantes
Wilco - I'll Fight
Bloc Party - This Modern Love (acoustic version)
Coldplay - Yellow
Bright Eyes - Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh
The Shins - Pink Bullets
Fleet Foxes - Mykonos
The Decemberists - Sons and Daughters
... and so many more. But for now, that is all. More to come! If you have something you would like posted, let me know! So go now, and listen to some awesome music!
