Fireworks

You know when you start to feel pretty strongly about someone, and you start listening to more and more of certain songs that remind you of that person? I think this is more directed towards those of us who are into lyrics. I love to just rock the fuck out, don't get me wrong, but bands like The Weakerthans, Wilco, and The Eels are some of my favourites because of lines like "we're talented and bright, we're lonely and uptight, we've found some lovely ways to disappoint." Or "laying in bed tonight I was thinking about how a careful man tries to dodge the bullets while the happy man takes a walk... and maybe it's time to live." When I start thinking about songs like these (Aside and PS You Rock My World, respectively), and I can't hide the smile on my face, I know I'm pretty into someone. One of my staples is Fireworks by The Tragically Hip. I think I'm going to make up a playlist, or at least a top 10 most-listened-to-with-a-stupid-grin-on-my-face songs. I'll keep you posted.
