OCEANSIZE

I have fallen in love.   With a new to me band.  They are called Oceansize and I love them so much I want to have their collective British babies.  I would birth fat little sixteenth notes of passion and bright, swollen with so much angst and joy I would tickle them nonstop to keep the gorgeous noise coming.   Music has such different effects on people.  For me it's like a drawing salve.  Anything that's mushed or clamped down in me gets released when the right musical remedy is applied.  My favorite music, like this stuff, pulls my guts right up against my skin giving me goosebumps and making me feel my heart beat in my ears.   If it doesn't make me want to move or cry, it's not worth listening to.  This song does both, it's not for everyone but is does it for me.

THERE IS FREEDOM WITHIN

I was watching a DVD at home today when this song came on.  Flashback to 1986, the year I graduated from High School.  Sidetrack:   I am having another flashback...of the time a few years ago when a kid working in my office mentioned that he was born that year.  I started laughing hysterically and then threw up a little in my mouth.  That grown man/boy was born the year I graduated.  Sigh.  Back to 1986.   I took my fashion cues from her, and I loved this song.

DON'T DREAM IT'S OVER

by Crowded House

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
