The First Post : Inspired by my iPod

I wish I could write something truly inspiring in this space right now but because of lack of caffeine this is as good as it's gonna get.

A couple months ago ( like July- ish ) a friend told me to download some songs by these 2 girls called Tegan and Sara. This wasn;t the first time I've heard of these girls. Practically everyone I know listens to them and rave about them. Me being the picky person that I am when it comes to music hesitated when it came to listening to new music. I know what I like and it's hard for me to accept new music into my little music bubble. BUT I ended up putting some of their song on my iPod before that start of school and they have stayed there, unlistened to, until last night. I was sitting on my bed as I usually do ( my bed doubles as my office - I have everything I need right there in reach : notebook, pens, usually a bottled beverage, iPod, etc ) and I was flicking through my song list when I came upon these hidden treasures once again over a month after ignoring them. Least to say the next hour was devoted to listening to all 11 tracks I had on my iPod by Tegan and Sara. My Verdict : out of those 11 songs. I really like 3, no wait 4. No actually 5. Yeah I think it's 5 songs. I don't know much about Tegan and Sara except the fact that they are idenitcal twins and that they're target audience is teen lesbian youth ( but you can probably still enjoy even if you haven't joined the darkside lol ). I like each one for a different reason but for lack of time I'll just list them and expalin why I like them I guess.

1. Back in Your Head - it's a happy little tune. first one I heard that got me hooked. Off their newest C.D

2. Superstar - It's a really good song. Made up of a bunch of different elements. One of those songs I'd wanna see live. Great lyrics. Lots of energy.

3. Where does the Good Go - cute song. Makes me smile for some odd reason. Lovely. A love song.

4.I know I know I know - This song I like because it reminds me of somebody I used to have feelings for. It kinda makes me feel better about not being able to totally let go. Overall message I think : Love can last a really long time even if you're not dating.

5.Not Tonight - My favourite. I can 100 % RELATE TO THIS SONG. STORY OF MY LIFE. For anyone at a crossraods. For anyone who's feeling lost. It makes me really think about what I love the most, whats keeping me alive, what's keeping me here in the moment. I can't talk enough about what this song means to me. It's simply great.

So theres a few lines about some good songs. I would tell you to listen but chances are if it took me over a month to get around to listening to them, you'll be way less ambitous than I am to go download these tunes. I'm just putthing this up here because I think it's cool.

Coments/Questions welcome about anything.
I hope my entries will get better than this.
I'm thinking about starting my own blog for my writing ( if anyones intrested I will get that up and running and post a link on here )
Thats all. Now I'm just wasting time typing.
I probably made spelling mistakes but I'm not intrested in going back and fixing them all now.

Enjoy

Chris

Nice nice. Ha! One comment, two to go! xD Nice. I'm not really into listening to that type of music (no offence towards you or them ^.^) I'll check it out. Is there any music you listen to like the little mermaid or such?

Christine, I do the same thing when someone recommends music to me ... I let it sit there for ages before listening. If it becomes my new favourite, I tell myself that I was meant to wait to listen to it, that it came at the precise right time.

My favourite Tegan and Sara song is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwwytVceo8Y. The White Stripes do a good cover of it as well.
