Music Appropriately

A modern version of Dancing Cheek to Cheek sountracking this moment right now. Nice female jazz vocalist with a piano riff that caught my ear.

Music. It's brilliant isn't it?

Today we were driving north through these rolling green hills and there was this moment where we turned the bend and the vast ocean shore just appeared. And it just made you want to lose your breathe for a second. Moments that take your breath away need a song. And the first song that I wanted to hear was Clarity by John Mayer.

By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
That it won't and it won't because it can't
It just can't
It's not supposed to

(Preach it Johnny)

Now it's just a memory.

One of these days, I'm going to go on a road trip on my own and just let those moments come to me. Have pure moments and accept them and appreciate them as they are. I'll write them down in my journal, write a song, poem, anything. And then I won't be a girl with a ton of memories. I'd be a girl with a ton of a memories and a notebook full of art.

"Everybody's got to take a road trip, at least once in their lives. Just you and some music."
-Claire Colburn, from the movie Elizabethtown

Willie Nelson and Norah Jones just came on. And this blog is now the memory of Grandpa Willie singing Dreams Come True.

Appropriate. Very Appropriate.
