Long before I made my first official blog post, I had been jotting down notes for “one day.” Thankfully, I dated some of them. This would have been the song of the week April, 27 of 2017. I still remember that drive when I first “picked up” on this song.
“There is something about this song… It came on just before I was leaving to take care of errands. I heard five seconds of it and said oh I better pause that and listen later because I think that’s one of my favorites. Later, when I looked at the title, I swore I had never seen it before. It came from the deluxe album, so I figured that I probably owned the conventional album, but then I checked my iPod and there was the song. Turns out I never paid it any attention when I had heard it. It’s one of those songs that crawls into your ear, makes its impact and stays there, beautiful and haunting, but unassuming. It isn’t like other tracks on the album say Ophelia or Cleopatra where you hear it and then have to repeatedly listen to it and know every word. With this song, there’s something about the way it makes me feel. It’s that song you come back to (or that comes back to you) when you need it most.”
