Hey There Delilah... How could you have missed this song? It was all over the radio, tv, movies, ipods, whatever. It was everywhere. I have to admit, when it first came out, I didn't care for it. It just seemed like another overplayed emo song to me. Eventually though, I gave it chance, and couldn't help but be touched by it. It's so heartfelt. You can't help but let it get to you. We've all been there.
A little after I started to really love this song, I met this guy. The first time we hung out together, we spent most of the time just talking in my car, with background music of course. We hit it off, to say the least. When it was time for goodbyes, I leaned in for a kiss.
I can honestly say that was most amazing kiss of my life. There was just so much passion, so much care. All the while, this song was in the background, the line "Oh, it's what you do to me" making my heart jump. I know it sounds silly, but that kiss made me realize that he was going to change my life, and well, he did. I moved in a week later, and we're still together to this day.

Deftones - Beware
I have always loved the Deftones. They are such an awesome band. Beyond words.
So, naturally when I meet someone that loves them as well, they instantly become worth my time. Such was the case with Kev. He was awesome, to say the least, but just ended up blowing me off in the end. My short time with him however, was great. We talked about music, tattoos, life, love, sex. Haha. The Deftones, by the way, are a GREAT band to have sex to.
The night we met, we spent the time away flirting shamelessly, and listening to great music, of course. When the mood got just right, he skipped through the CD until this song came on, and he told me to close my eyes. The haunting guitar riff and soothing sound of Chino's voice rushed through me as Kev softly kissed me down my neck. It pretty much just made me melt.
We continued, of course, giving into each others wants, our bodies silently in tune with one another, the music illustrating the thoughts of our passion.
Sigh. It was hot.
I downloaded the Deftone's Saturday Night Writst right away, and fell in love with every track, especially this one. Each of them just spoke to me, as if it were him singing to me of the sad, but beautiful nature of our short-lived union. Every time I listen to this album, I can't help but fall into the same entrancing haze. Even it wasn't much, we had something amazing that night. Truly amazing.

The History of My Musical Interests...
I first started getting into music when I was like 8. That was back in 1998 when pop-powerhouses were taking over the world. And being at such young, influential age, I couldn't help but be sucked in. The Spice Girls got it started for me. Girl POWER! How could you not love them though? They were so badass. Me and my little group of friends in second grade use to pretend we were them. There was a redhead who we dubbed as Ginger, Baby Spice, Posh, I was Scary Spice, and no one wanted to be Sporty. Haha. We'd sing their songs all day long. "Spice Up Your Life", "Stop", "2 become 1", and all of their other great hits. Of course, they ended up breaking up and around the same time Britney Spears came out, along with N'sync, and the Backstreet Boys were already huge by than. I loved Britney, and I was all about some BSB. N'STINK sucked.
So that was cool for throughout my time in elementary school, and than the summer before I got into middle school was when I started getting into some real music: my number one passion, rock n' roll. The first song that really got me into it was Lifehouse's - "Hanging By A Moment". That's just such a great song. I got their album and rocked out to it all summer long. I also started listening to a lot of Linkin Park, Korn, Slipknot, etc. Anything that was hard and heavy was gold to me. I never got into the poser punk scene with Sum 41 and Blink 182, which was ridiculously huge than. By that time I had thankfully learned what real music was. Manufactured, radio-friendly crap just isn't for me.
By the time I was 13 I was listening to stuff like Norma Jean, Poison the Well, and Blindside. Mostly hardcore, but I'd branch out onto the indie scene occasionally. At this time I was very keen on sticking to my metal roots. Hip hop was getting evermore annoyingly popular, and pretty much every band under the sun was selling out.
In 2003 I moved to Atlanta, where rap/hip-hop is all over the place, and I couldn't help but catch on to a song here or there. Lil Jon was huge, and I love him, but that's pretty much the extent of my interset. For the most part, the genre is just full of shit, and I know other genres have their shitty ends too, but at the end of the day, it just ain't my thing. If a great song just happens to come around, I'm all over it, but for the most part, I'll stick to my preferences.
Anyway, a little after that I quit listening to music for a couple of years while I was with my ex-boyfriend. He never listened to music so it didn't really remain a priority. I'd listen to a couple of songs here and there, but no where near as much as I'd use to. In some ways that was a good thing because most of what came out than wasn't anything special. But hell, it's still like that today.
Once we broke up though I easily found home with music again. By this time I had opened myself up to all sorts of genres. I didn't care if it was pop, rock, techno, just as long as it was good song, and I still feel like that today. I just love music, it just speaks to my soul. I have my opinions here and there about it, of course. I can be pretty bias or really open minded. In the end though, it's all about what connects to you.
Music, along with all art, has a way of cradling one's soul. It can can comfort, enrage, or bring you to tears. That's just what make it so beautiful.

Peter Bjorn & John - Let's Call It Off (Girl Talk Mix)
I've been working for Chili's for over four months now, and being a hostess with nothing to do there's a lot of time for me to listen to the radio. Every Chili's plays the same music through satellite radio, and from what I've researched they apparently have a very large playlist. For some reason though they still stick to playing the same songs over and over again. Haha, isn't that how the radio always is?
Anyway, besides playing lame family friendly music, they also play some pretty rockin' tunes. There's a whole array of songs that I can't wait to jam to when I'm sitting around the host stand bored out of my mind, but my most recent favorite is Peter Bjorn & John - Let's Call It Off (Girl Talk Mix). I've heard it plenty of times while working, but I could never figure out what the song was. I finally decided to look up the only line I could decipher a few days ago (Do you agree, we should let it be). I couldn't find anything on Google, so I went and asked about it on Yahoo! Answers. I got a reply within an hour. I love Yahoo! Answers. :)
I admit, it's not exactly Mozart or anything, but it's a cute song with a funky tune that reminds me of the beach. It's just one of those fun and upbeat songs that get you groovin'.
