Welcome Home

Straight and to the point---Music and writing both awaken every cell in my body, so I figured I'd combine the two. I'm always trying to find new music that still has life to it, unlike most of what you hear on the radio. Whenever I have the time, I'm going to post the latest song I've been listening to, new or old, along with a few thoughts on my life, your life, whatever.

Radical Face : Welcome Home

"And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done."

The very first time I heard this song, I was driving and listening to the Mumford & Sons station on my Pandora account. This song started and it instantly put me into a state of happiness. THAT is when you know a song is good, when it has such an impact on your thought process that you feel emotions that otherwise wouldn't have been felt. I can't even tell you how many times my iPod randomly switched to Radiohead, and I instantly felt surrounded by uneasiness, sadness, etc. When a band can convey emotions through soundwaves, they've done their job.

This song reminds me of the first time my boyfriend took me to Knoxville, Tennessee. I truly felt as though I had come home. The warmth, the smells, and most of all.....Chic-Fil-A. Everything about that place made me fall madly in love with it. The calm waters that blush all shades of pink when the sun sets above it. Certain places just feel more alive than others, and the act of being awoken from that dead mind frame your current surroundings have put you in is addicting. So, sweet Tennessee, you'll be seeing me soon.

Although I'll miss my family and the familiarity of Michigan... I do catch myself daydreaming almost always of leaving this place with my boyfriend.

Cars packed-
Windows down-
Hands held-
Driving forward.

Maybe, definitely, one day.
