Tonight has been a Bon Iver kind of night. If you haven't listened to them yet then I suggest you begin immediately. Stop whatever you are doing that you think is important and go ahead and change your life. Listen to this or this or you know, this.
If you don't know anything about this band the album was recorded entirely by the lead singer in a cabin in Wisconsin as he was trying to basically escape his former life. His ex band, ex girlfriend, ex town. And in the cabin during a long northern winter he did the only thing he knew to do as he had no where to go and no one to see. He poured his heart into some songs. As he sings you can hear the pain in his voice. How much the words he sings means to him. How much he believes every note that flows from his mouth.
That is what we all are looking for right? For truth? To truly believe what we say, what we feel? It's amazing how emotions that you had never before been able to communicate well and all of a sudden there is a song that says exactly what you needed to say all along. And above all it is beautiful.
Beauty... I like beauty... but beauty is for another day... not on a muggy night like tonight...
