Big Jet Plane

Do you know what the absolute best thing in the world is? Okay, so I lot of things come to mind. One of my favorite things to do in this universe involves music (no duh!) You turn all the lights off, crawl into bed, pull the covers close around you, and put your headphones in. Just laying in the dark with the music....I can't explain how much I love this! I think part of it is that I can enjoy the musicality of the songs better. All my other sense are cut off, letting me just listen. I'm not distracted by what's going on, because it's dark and I'm alone, so nothing can happen. It's my favorite way to end a stressful day.

Some songs are better for doing this than others. I usually pick mellow songs like Sia, John Mayer, and artists like them. Essentially, I'm trying to decompress from the day. The last thing I need is major guitar riffs and drum solos. The only bad thing, is if I find a song that I really love. I probably won't want to turn it off and then I never sleep. Sometimes there's a song that makes me just want to create. I can't explain the urge, but every now and then I'll watch/see/read something and I just get this super powerful need to create something. It would be great if I didn't have writers block.

Today's Music Friday song is one of those songs. I discovered it last night and have probably played it over 100 times already. The lyrics aren't groundbreaking and I'm pretty sure they stick to the same 3 chords the whole time (I could be wrong though, I don't play guitar.) This song kind of spoke to me though. The song is about wanting to protect someone and take them away from a bad situation or something they don't like. I can't wait until I find someone willing to do that for me. It's called "Big Jet Plane" by Angus and Julia Stone. If you have any songs you think I should listen to, let me know. I'm looking to update my iTunes library. Happy Friday Everyone!
