This song…AGAIN?!
A friend once told me that you really know you like a song when you first put it on repeat. This is all good and well until you’ve had it on repeat for upwards of thirty minutes and then have to start thinking about planning its funeral. Yes, I have killed many songs and albums in my time, so much so that I haven’t been able to listen to that Foo Fighter’s CD since January 05.I don’t know if it’s my love for the song or just pure laziness that makes me lead the song to the slaughter but I can’t seem to stop. If I’m busy doing something, there’s now way in hell I’m going to get up every few minutes to change the song or album over. So this in effect leads me to push the dreaded ‘repeat’ button. I really should do something about it otherwise I’m just going to keep going through CDs by the handful and I have accumulated a healthy collection of CDs over the years too. Maybe I should sell them or at least put them on more of a rotation.
It’s even getting hard to listen to my Ipod because I’m just sick of all the songs. It doesn’t matter how many times I try and rearrange the playlists, the effort is futile. This has all led me to delete a large proportion of songs from itunes and let me tell you the number of listenable songs remaining is quickly dwindling. And note to self: never again turn to the radio as a substitute, they kill songs faster than I do.
On the topic of music, the OC is on in the background here (It’s the final where Marissa dies) and they have a cover of ‘Hallelujah’ playing in the last scene. I quite like this song in a disturbing sense, although I still haven’t been able to work out whether it’s about King David or if it’s a twisted love song with religious connotations. Jeff Buckley does my favourite version of the song and Rufus Wainwright’s version isn’t too bad either, except his voice trials a bit. This song has been played in just about every depressing scene of any movie or T.V show EVER. Thankfully I don’t actually own a copy of it, or ‘Hallelujah’ would probably have earned itself a plot in the graveyard by now.
