30 Day Song Challenge, Day 8: A song that you know all the words to
I used to never feel justified in getting a new CD or even downloading a single from iTunes unless I knew all the words to what I already had. I kind of miss that – I felt much more of a relationship with the music I owned. “Sam’s Town” by The Killers is one song I do know the words to, though, and there’s just something I like about this version of it. Piano-based music really appeals to me.
30 Day Song Challenge, Day 7: A song that reminds you of a certain event
“Secret Handshakes” by The Ataris reminds me of what happened after one of their concerts. My dear friend and I got invited onto the tour bus and had a long discussion with Kris Roe about music and life. He explained the story behind this song, which was based on his experience living in a Freemason community. It was an amazingly beautiful and interesting evening, one that I remember every time I hear this song in particular.
