When things are well put
Nov. 24th, 2009 01:34 pmThis morning, I got to preview a few songs off a new EP that Romantica, one of my favorite bands, is releasing next month.
Like all of their other releases, the three tracks I heard were absolutely beautiful, and melodic and poignant and melancholy.
The thing that spoke to me most, however, was a portion of the lyrics for the song called "Lonely Star."
The lines in question were as follows:
"Singing is like medicine, melodies for suffering, words can heal the blues if they're true."
I heard that, and I had to stop what I was doing immediately. I thought about it for a minute, re-wound the song so I could listen to again, nodded vigorously, all the while thinking, "Yes. Yes. YES!!!!"
It re-affirmed everything I love about this band, everything I love about Ben Kyle as a masterful poet/lyricist.
God, I just love it when music grabs me in this way!!! I wish it would happen more often so I'd have more reason to dash off breathless, seemingly random blog entries.
