I had planned that this blog would be solely about music and gigs in particular. However recent events in my life have made ponder a few things:
When your life is turned upside down what should you listen too?
By this I mean should you wallow in dark, melancholy dirges, or angry, loud, energetic tunes, or attempt to lift your mood with happy, clappy, light and lovely songs?
On consideration I couldn't face slumping in a dark room listening to music made to make you cry. And I didn't particularly feel angry either (or not yet at any rate). So I went against anguish and hurt and reached out to the bright side of things, even though I feared that these songs would then be tainted forever, I hope not.
The soundtrack to my confusion?
I'm from Barcelona - Let me introduce my friends
Blonde Redhead - 23
Postal Service - Give Up (but I haven't)
At the risk of sounding like a self help book - we can handle whatever surprises life throws at us as long as we have a great soundtrack to back us up.
(Still smiling)
