lyrics > words

I haven't taken these off since Joy gave them to me a few weeks ago. I love love love them. Sometimes I feel like lyrics are more important than words, more tolerable than people. I guess I'm using my new headphones as earplugs. Tuning out  all the bullshit. I'm letting the guitars of Clapton, Mayer, Santana, Hendrix, etc sing to me. Falling asleep listening to 90's Madonna, or acoustic Jason Mraz, of mopey John Mayer, there's nothing better. Listening to Gipsy Kings right before Spanish class, Lady Gaga on the way to class. Music: my drug of choice. If Erica or I don't have either of our iPod's on a late night munchie world, sometimes I feel like the world will end. I guess when all else fails to impress, there's music. Music will always impress me. Even the tween pop stars who make music for the money/fame more so than the actual melodies, more power to them for exploiting something worth exploiting. One day they will be forgotten or praised for their fame, maybe not their music. However, it did give us all something to tap our toes to and fall in love to and drum the steering wheel to and turn the volume up to. It may not be Ludvig van or Dave or MJ or Bob or Big or Kurt or Marvin or Jimi or John, George, Paul and Ringo but it's still music. Soon enough we'll have our generation's second coming, messiah, reincarnate of these instrumental greats. In the mean time, I'll keep listening.
For now....
