Stars & Sons (& clouds)

So this has been a very weird week so far for me. I have been working out of the same office for 7 years and recently got a promotion that has me moving to a new office tomorrow. It's not that I am not pumped about the new position and the new projects I will be involved in, but the issue is that I in fact abhore change with a passion and do everything in my power to make sure that nothing in my life is unplanned or 'out of control'. So that is where my head has been at for the past couple of weeks and with the move actually happening tomorrow afternoon, I think I may actually be having palpitations.

Having now gone into detail about my hatred for all events unplanned or unexpected, and in conjunction with the fact that though I will admit change is my number one nemesis, number two is other people being late for things, followed closely by precipitation of any variety, I had a rather wonderful, however unexpected experience as I came home today. I was walking home listening to BSS (shocking, I know) and I got caught in the rain.

For about 15 seconds, I was the Queen of all annoyed and pissed off, until all of a sudden my mood entirely changed. I was about to make a run for the nearest bus shelter when the song on my iPod changed and I was then listening to Stars & Sons (from Olympic Island 2006 - and yes, it does matter)and I stopped running and started walking again, getting totally soaked and not giving a shit, in fact, I think I started laughing. Then, I got about a minute and a half into the song (if you've ever seen them perform the song live you know what I am talking about) and I actually stopped walking all together and I stood still until the song was over. I've said it before and I'll say it again until I take my last breath - music is magical, live music is transporting.


For the uneducated . . .





Now I will go and sit on a wet and muddy lawn to listen to more fabulous live music. The things I do for music . . .
