Sometimes I am not so sure about the song, but I really appreciate the lyrics. :)Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406276551816593241.post-76358125542756975272012-01-15T18:59:41.499-05:002012-01-15T18:59:41.499-05:00Your scrap booking beats mine any day.

I've heard Ana talk about him but hadn't heard anything by him until I listened to the Indie Christmas station on Pandora. I LOVE his Christmas album. Now I'm listening to Vesuvius and am really loving it. <br /><br />And you know what Debi? I like your approach to scrapbooking and think that I need to follow suit. When I was on maternity, I went to the craft store almost every day (to get out of the house) and picked up scrapbooking things. Unfortunately it's low priority for me to make pretty pages but I still want to document life. Simple will still be just as treasured years down the road...<br /><br />And love these posts... ;)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406276551816593241.post-493212404642698302012-01-15T11:54:46.796-05:002012-01-15T11:54:46.796-05:00Ana's music recomendations are a dangourous (b...Ana's music recomendations are a dangourous (but rewarding) thing! ;) <br /><br />Much of my concert going (and therefore music listening) can be traced diectly or in directly to her.

The whole self-referencing thing is a bit over the top, of course, but I love it because it's so clear that that's a deliberate choice. Lines like "follow the flame / or fall on the floor" are a little bit silly, but none of that takes the heart of the song away. Instead, it just prevents it from taking itself too seriously, from becoming melodramatic. The hints of humour are like a breath of fresh air that add to the emotional resonance of the whole thing.<br /><br />I totally get what you mean about lacking the vocabulary to even talk about music, though. Reason #1 why I could never be a music blogger.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
