Strength through Music #1
November 24, 2010One time a good friend of mine died and no one told us why or how. We were all very young then and didn’t understand a whole lot of anything anyway, so I guess it was just as well that we didn’t know. To my consternation, they buried him in the graveyard right down the road from my house. It was cold and rainy and I remember sitting in my car across the street for the cemetery, staring out the window and listening to this song over and over for about four hours before I finally told myself I had to leave him.
The song is called “Poor song” by one of my favourite bands the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Sorry to write such a sombre post. I was literally JUST thinking about how many times I’ve gathered strength through music and where I would be without it. This may be somewhat of a trend. Don’t worry though.. not all of the posts will be this depressing. :)
