So, I recently made a long drive with no cell phone and hardly any radio stations...or more radio stations than I cared to listen to because it was more commercials than songs. My CD collection had been packed and I was left with 5 CDs to make the 1,500 mile trip from Lubbock to Moscow (Idaho not Russia). Anyway, this left me with a lot of time to either talk to the gecko - my faithful passenger as long as she stayed in her tank, or think to myself. Course, sometimes "thinking" really meant talking out loud - to myself. I like to rehearse speeches...or conversations and go over them or pretend I am going to have the perfect opportunity to say these exact words. So, I say whatever it is I am thinking out loud and its almost as if I am really telling the person what I feel. Alas, those perfect moments will never arrive and if there is even the slightest hint that the conversation could actually take pace - I would forget what I had hoped to say or I just mess it all up entirely. So, I say it out loud, get it off my chest and then expect you to know exactly how I feel :)
Anyway, this is really more about the one conversation I did have with myself (clover - the gecko didn't really respond - she was a lame duck at this point in the trip). My conversation was about music and how affected I can become - easily by music. Like if you play the doors while I am trying to read I can without realizing it become so incredibly angry its like out of the blue - woah! where'd that come from?!?! Or certain songs by Alison Krauss can bring me to tears within 2 lines - so beautiful. So then, thinking about music I realized I recognize some of my friends through music. Or more like remember my friends while listening to music. How to say it...I can guarantee if a certain song is played I will think of a particular person at least once while listening song/composer/artist/band type thing. So, then (while driving) I started to write down these people and the songs that will draw up their memories. These would be my songs for you
