I find myself humming a lot of pop music the last week or so. It’s kind of driving me crazy. I’m doing this show currently at Peace College called THEmisanthrope and so I have had to sift through a lot of pop music that …. well lets just say I would normally not listen to.
So basically there is constant G105 play list in my head right now. Last night I felt a need to listen to my Jimmy Eat World - Futures album from front to back to get past this pop epidemic that I am currently in. [Hence the reason for last nights post.]
23 is a very reflective song to me. It’s not the song thats on every play list I make. I love the song don’t get me wrong, but it seems to be reserved for only certain times.
My life has been very reflective the past few weeks. Even this re-birth of pop music has stirred up memories of my friend Johnathan and I singing along to all the tunes Q94 growing up, but the line:
I won’t always love what I’ll never have
I won’t always live in my regrets
They strike this cord in me. They remind me of times when my life wasn’t where it was suppose to be. 23… what a year.
But enough reflecting, I appreciate pop songs for their amazing ability to catch you with their cleverly written hooks, but to me… music is more than just about a hook, cause you can have the best hook in the world but if your melody and composition suck, then your left with just… catchy words.
