A Slap to the face, and one to the knee!

I have recently fallen in love with Michael Jackson all over again. Great part is it's not all the well known songs, mostly the stuff he did in the Wiz is what I'm listening too, and I love it so much. "You Can't Win" is probably my favorite for it's rip snortin bassoon solo and it's quick time funk feel. It just makes me wanna dance a jig or something!!

Also I have rediscovered Fiona Apple. She is an artist all her own, her lyrics and music are so moving to me. That deep voice and that lyrical piano make me swoon like crazy. It moves me to an extent that I thought only classical music could do for me. But now I'm starting to see the beauty and feeling in each piece of music. Some songs have a purpose, most of which to dance to and sometimes they tell a story. Whether it's Shewolf by Shakira or Peter and The Wolf each has a story that can be told.

Today was an great freakin day. I learned that music is different to each person and if the music accomplishes what it's composer set out to do then it is a success and you should feel special to listen to that music. Rediscovering new artists has helped me rediscover music in a sense that I have touched on before not really let myself believe. So far I like it
