Are you ever concerned that you'll never find another favourite song to replace the one you've just played a thousand times and kinda wish it would still sing to you but just...doesn't?
As some people cling to those feel good love stories in movies, I am a sucker for a song with lyrics that relate to however I feel at the time.
Of course there are the songs that sing to me and don't necessarily say the right words, but if the notes are good, i'll take it.
A fine example of this would be my infatuation with "Before I Forget" or even "The Nameless" by that delightful band Slipknot. I'll admit they didn't sing so much as scream at me but that was during the heavy metal stage I went through in my early teens and at that point in life I was in everyway a typical angsty child, however unlike my other angsty counterparts I wore a façade resembling something like a unicorn that had recently vommited up a rainbow. All over me.
I liked colour okay?
I remember there was this one song in which there was a guitar rift so perfect to my ears that I actually went to the trouble of figuring out how the hell to use a music editor to cut it out and play that 10 second snip over and over and over again.*
So it makes me wonder what other people have as their little quirky interests or how far they will go to persue that perfect ideal or scene in the movie where the cheerleader just dumped Brad, the sportiest, sexiest boy in school because she really loves Nigel the school nerd.
*It was Dave Navarro's Avoiding the Angel at 3:13 if you're wondering.
