欲求不満である くつろいでいるに

So, technically this morning, I wrote a huge post about what artists I love to listen to in the fall, including Iron and Wine, Glen Phillips,R.E.M., etc. What is rebundantly annoying is the fact that Eastern's wireless decided to stop working. You know, it was getting late and it just got tired. I guess it wanted some shut eye close to 1 am.

So, here I am again, but with a new topic. On Monday, it was my friend J.C.'s birthday. I mader her a CD and put the amazingly haunting "The Blower's Daughter" on it by Damien Rice (becuase it was on my youth pastor's iPod, which my youth group ALWAYS listens to. That's how I find most of my favorite artists, but that's for another post.) I don't really know Rice very well, mind you. J.C. asked if I knew the song "9 Crimes" by him, and I truthfully answered no. She freaked out on me and made me watch this AWESOME video for the song. This track is amazing, but with warning, this might creep you out at first. It's incredible, but you have to really sink your teeth in it to get it. Be aware the entire time, both listening and watching. It's about being with someone, but loving someone else and not changing the situation, basically. Very melancholy and very beautiful:


Damien Rice is a very talented man in which I will enthusiastically get to hear more from him.

Title: "Frustrated to relaxed" in Japanese
In my head: "Vertigo" by U2

This is probably one of the few times that this will happen, but I can say that I've heard of the song and artist before! (The song "9 Crimes" was featured on episodes of CSI and Grey's Anatomy) I agree with your thoughts about Damien Rice on this song, although I cannot vouch for his other work.

Keep up the great work!
