For the first Saturday in a while I had no plans for anything. So I decided to take full advantage of it and revel in the fact that I actually had a day off, a rarity when school is in session. But I ended up spending most of it doing school work anyway because I was stupid and didn't cite my sources for an English paper I handed in this week. So that took up most of the afternoon. After that was done I was completely exhausted, I mean... I didn't prepare myself to actually think today! So I ended up taking a 5 hour nap (involuntarily mind you) caffeined myself up with some diet coke after I awoke...and made it just in time to see the Yankees win the game tonight.That combination has led me to be here at my computer writing this at three o clock in the morning. I think it's safe to assume I won't be sleeping tonight. I'm setting myself up for quite a lovely crash, I know.
Before my Saturday took a turn for the worse however, there was a moment of happiness. This morning while browsing on Youtube I stumbled on a new Fray song! And it's beautiful, it's amazing and I PRAY that it makes it on their new album. What makes it beautiful is it's simplicity. It's classic Isaac Slade....with the haunting piano melody and that unmistakable raspy voice of his, singing with such conviction that if you took the time out to really sit down and listen...he's able to make you feel exactly what he conveys within the lyrics of the song: the feeling and sense of being without. I cannot express in words how much I love them and the beautiful music that they create.It's what true artistry is made of and is the pure joy of my life. I think Isaac is a musical and lyrical GENIUS. Really...He's such an inspiration to me...and I'm constantly reminded of that whenever I hear a song like this one. Well done. I cannot wait for the next record.
