When I find a band that I connect with, musically speaking, I get kind of obsessive. Okay...not kind of. Really.
Really obsessive.
It's just that I so rarely find music that I connect with. I like a particular song by this band or that artist, but I rarely find an artist or band whose music, as a whole, speaks to me.
When I find one, I obsess. I listen to the same songs over and over again.
It's like falling in love, I suppose. I want to surround myself with that music. I want to be enchanted, transported, rocked to the very core of my soul.
I want to find music that makes me never feel the same again.
I'm currently obsessing over Mike Doughty's music and also Tegan and Sara's music.
I have listened to Golden Delicious and If it was you so many times it's not even funny.
I am learning every word to every song. Not on purpose, to be one of those people who goes to a concert and sings every word of every song. I'm learning them as a side effect of immersing myself in the songs.
I can't explain why I'm drawn to either of these artists. I think it's their lyrical dexterity and earnestness.
Whatever the reason, I am a sad, lovesick fool.
Musically-speaking, that is.
