Sometimes you need to hear the right music.
I am one of those people for whom music is crucial.
Tonight I am listening to Little Feat play Dixie Chicken. It has this piano line that captures the center of my being and holds me breathless.
Yeah, it's a great piano line.
There's one spot where the electric guitar, or something, gets really screechy and annoying, but it passes quickly. I just start the song from the beginning, again, and then it's all better.
Music should do something to you, don't you think?
Like a really good kiss.
...and now I am listening to Sarah MacLaughlin sing Possession. That's a kissing song, if ever there was one.
For worship I like Skillet.
Or the David Crowder Band.
Or Keith Green.
Or Third Day.
Or Bach.
For dinner, you must have Billy Holliday, Norah Jones, or Ella Fitzgerald. And candlelight, of course.
Do you remember Sinead O'Conner? It was this '80's affliction, but I still have Nothing Compares 2 U for nights where I feel lonely.
Listening to old music is like going through old journals. Don't you think?
Cathy, who was that Christian singer that sounded like Stevie Wonder? We saw him, I think, at the San Jose Fair one year...? And who sang Wild Horses?
Friends, I wish you were here to listen to old records with me. Even if they are on the new format of my computer, rather than the classic vinyl.

Ahh - Jon Gibson! He was the Stevie Wonder sounding one... I actually found one of his CD's the other day in the back of a cupboard. Put it in and danced all over the house. That's some good music.
Wild Horses was by Gino Vanelli. That album was the only one of his I ever owned - but that is a rockin' song. I still listen to it sometimes.
Can't believe you didn't mention Milli Vanilli. I don't care what anyone says - whether they were singing or not, that was some great music. I would own that CD if I could find it. (How embarrassing is that to admit?)
And what about the Top Gun soundtrack? Oh yea, baby.
Okay.
Memory lane walk over.
Back to real life.
Oh - and Don Henley, Boys of Summer!!!
Remember?
