Music Lover

Drink down that gin and kerosene,
and come spit on bridges with me.
Just to keep us warm.

Then light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave, me be.
And I keep my jealousy close,
’cause it’s all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
then I’m not the only lying.

Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay - in your bed - all day?
I’ll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.

I absolutely love music. It’s not like it’s anything new to me but I’ve just noticed it more recently. The songs I choose to listen to pretty much make or break my day. I keep a fairly large collection on 3 separate mp3 CD’s in my jeep so I have songs for pretty much every mood. Today I’ve been listening to a little Fall Out Boy and James Blunt again. It’s been a pretty good day. I like a lot of songs that most people don’t because I don’t realy focus on the tune, but the lyrics (but a catchy tune is a catchy tune, as long as the lyrics aren’t totally absurd, ie. “I’m in love with a stripper”). Molly and I had a conversation some time ago when we were getting to know each other about how most people just like the sound of the song they’re listening to. She and I seem to both listen mainly for what the artist says in the song. Now I’m not saying this a rare thing, but the majority of people don’t seem to care what the lyrics mean, just that they rhyme or go with a good beat (rap for example :rolleyes: ). I get more out of the songs if I can somehow relate the lyrics to my own life in a way, which I can to most songs (not that it keeps with the original meaning of the song, I just make it my own). So I really don’t know why I made this post, but I do know I love the accoustic version of the song in blockquotes up above. Enjoy.
