Writing to the tune of...

Last summer, I started this project of taking one song every day, randomly selected by my iTunes library, and writing about that song's influence on me. Sometimes I'd just listen and free write. Other days I'd look at the band or musician and try to decide why I liked their music so much. My writing varied as much as the different music types, but it was very interesting to see the daily outcomes. I haven't continued with this little project or hobby, whatever you want to call it, but today I've decided to start it up again. I'm not extremely knowledgeable about music or writing, yet I love and take great joy from both. So, I guess I'll start here-today. 

Love Addict-Family Force 5

Oh, wow. First day back and I get this song! I do enjoy Family Force 5, but I don't think I've ever thought about writing in response to their music. This song, Love Addict, is a song that makes me very happy. Yes, it's one of those temporal, momentary pieces of happiness, but I love it all the same. Music doesn't always have to be about beautiful verse or awe-inspiring musicianship. Sometimes, I like music simply because it is fun. And this band, my friends, is pure fun. Not only that, but the eccentric guys that make up Family Force 5 love Jesus. It is great to jump in my station wagon with a few friends, crank Love Addict, and enjoy letting loose. This song allows me to act a little immature sometimes-driving down the road, singing at the top of my lungs and pretending I know anything about dancing. It may not be thought-provoking or especially emotional, but I enjoy it. Anyway, it's a great song. Good, maybe unexpected, way to start off this new adventure of music and writing.
