Find Some Music

It's amazing how the video era changed the way we see music. I was watching Transformers: Dark Of The Moon for the 16th time. Don't you dare judge me. And there was a song that played in a scene where the "heroes" approach the fallen city of Chicago.

When I saw the movie in the theater, immediately I knew who the artist was. While I watched, I felt that the backdrop of the carnage was perfect. Then I saw the official music video. Not what I pictured. But then I thought, that's what music is supposed to do.

Music should make you feel...

Music should make you move...

Music should make you SEE.

As a kid I remember that aside from reading, music was my greatest escape. In my mind, I saw the scenes laid out by singers/songwriters. And they spoke to me with their words of love and passion. They wooed me with their frustrations and melancholy. They brought to life places I'd never been and people I'll never meet, and I felt alive.

Today get some music in your life, and see where it takes you.

Can We Love Again

Lying here it seems like yesterday
When is laughed and we planned
Like we knew about tomorrow

Now it feels like the clock on that wall
Wants to remind me
There's nothing in this room
But pain and sorrow

I remember
We said nothing's gonna break us
Nothing can ever break us
So why's this empty room closing in
And I can barely breathe

I need you
I miss you
I wish you
Could touch my heart again
But I'm here
And you're where
I want to know
Can we love again?

If I could change the words I said
Would it take away the pain
Right now I'd take all the blame

So why does seem the clock on that wall
Wants to remind me
There's nothing in this room
But pain and sorrow

I remember
We said nothing's gonna break us
Nothing can ever break us
So why's this empty room closing in
And I can barely breathe

I need you
I miss you
I wish you
Could touch my heart again
But I'm here
And you're where
I want to know
Can we love again?
