I (Heart) Music

Right now, I'm really digging My Girls by Animal Collective. Why now? I have no idea. At first, when I put it on my playlist, it was like: Hey, they sound familiar. I might like it. Now, each time I listen to it, I'm like: WHAT SONG IS THIS?! I LOVE IT. As of now, I'm listening to it on repeat and I think that should be a crime. Well, maybe not that exactly, but the fact that I'm just being really turned on by it. Yup. Music is really turning me on, especially now. And also, the video is just so trippy. Another trippy video I realized today was Kites by Geographer. But yes, I've been trying to be more in-tuned with the music I've been listening to, and those I lean towards more, I tend to listen... religiously, repetitively, obsessively. Other good ones I've been listening to recently:
-Runaway by Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Karen O - I dig her style - it really reminds me of how I dress, except I could only aspire to dress like her)
-You're Gonna Go Far, Kid by The Offspring (it's really surprising to me that they're such an old band, yet still make great music, and by surprising, I mean I'm amazed - in a good way)
-Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend (for some reason, I've come across a lot of people who have issues with Vampire Weekend, but they've cranked out some good stuff, forreals)
-Lord Anthony by Belle & Sebastian (this is the song that I've listened to on repeat, and I realized that I started to try and analyze what the lyrics mean, and I love that - there are so many ways to interpret songs and finding out what it was intended to mean)
-No More Pirates by Chris Garneau (because, I don't want your pirates anymore~)
-Thinking of You by Test Your Reflex (by this point, I'm becoming tapped out of what to say)
-Darling Alistair by Little Comets (but that doesn't mean that these songs aren't good - they're great)
And then there are songs that I'll probably always love just because the feel they have with them (aka the fast-paced-ness that I feel with them):
-A Secret Worth Keeping by The Fire Restart (oldie, but a goodie - I love her voice and the contrast)
-Motion Sickness by Call the Cops
-Attack by 30 Seconds to Mars
-Heartilation by Andrew Jackson Jihad (this song helped me decide that I want to become an organ donor)
-Getting Old and Finding Something to Do by Hellogoodbye

These are only some of the many good, great, and wonderful songs out there. But yes, music is life. It is pretty great. They are a great outlet and make things much better. They help express feelings and emotions, as well as lift moods and everything.

(Note: And I get/know that I tend to like a certain type of music, but hey, we all do, right? It's great finding people who tend to like the same type of music as you do, which I find exciting. In most cases, people tend to like some of the music I listen to, but generally say that they're okay, which isn't a bad thing, but...)
