Red Velvet #2: Listen
What song did you listen to in 2011 to completely change your mood? Think about ways you can you add more music to your life in 2012.
I’m constantly listening to music and looking for new bands so the thought of picking one song seemed pretty impossible. But then I decided to go with the first one that popped into my head - “I Got” by Young the Giant. I heard about the band over the summer from a friend, who was sending me various YouTube videos of their songs. But it was when I heard “I Got” (from their In the Open sessions) that I was hooked. Honestly, I’m not even sure I understand what the song is about. But whenever I hear that infectious beat and that guy’s voice singing “I got buried, no it won’t be long before I rise in..” - I can’t help bobbing my head along (and wishing he was singing to me!). Even my five-year-old nephew approves of the song. According to him, it’s cool so hopefully you think so too!
Also, as for ways to add more music to my life.. I need to go to some concerts next year! I haven’t been to one in forever and I miss it. Who knows.. maybe I’ll go see Young the Giant.
