Music coursing through my veins...

Every once in a while a song (or songs) will hit me so hard I have to listen to it on repeat all day for several days straight. I have two new songs that fit in this category.

First off is Esthero - Black Mermaid. I'm not sure what it is about this song...but it hit me like a lightning bolt between the eyes. The simple guitar in the intro, building to the piano in the chorus, back to the guitar. Then these lyrics punched me in the heart:

And I've spent most of my life deep down inside myself,
I've dreamt about the possibility of someone else,
Who could see the things I've seen and still wait with me,
To the darkness we could fade because we know ourselves

  I didn't know if I wanted to smile or cry...so I did both.

The second song of my day is by Bruno Mars. I love me some Bruno Mars. He was born in Hawai'i, what's not to love? He normally sings catchy boppy songs that make you want to dance and sing. This...is not one of those songs. It is a very reflective song about a now dead relationship. This one hit me hard too...

I guess my heart is on my mind more than I want to admit.
