Merry Christmas Eve.
Today as I rode my stairmaster and set the ipod to shuffle, I expected another distracting hour listening to tunes I love. Surprise, surprise.
I love songs that make you think. All time favorites include Wake Up by Arcade Fire, Walk On, Wake Up Dead Man, Yahweh, 40, Magnificent, Breathe, and Moment of Surrender by U2, Gone, Lonely Nation, Burn out Bright, and 24 by Switchfoot, Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan, Give until there’s nothing left by Reliant K, The Man comes around by Johnny Cash, Longest Days by John Mellencamp, Colored People by D.C. Talk, and Talk by Coldplay. But today, I added another.
I had set my ipod to “shuffle” mode and love the surprise that comes from NOT knowing what is next. Today, from the album that gave us familiar tunes like “Fallen Man,” and “I must have done something right,” came one I had never heard before. Isn’t it funny how you buy something and don’t ever seem to find the time to listen to the “b” tracks?
Shuffle fixed that.
Today, as I rode away in the basement of Pennington Court, I was jolted by the song titled “Deathbed.” Can you believe how music can move us? A few kids from Canton, belonging to a band called Reliant K, sang a song that melted me. Very cool. Check it out and tell me what you think. The next generation isn’t going to mess it up folks. Quite to the contrary, they’re awake and making it better.
It’s NOT what you think…
