music

So in my quest for "new" music, I've been revisiting the cds I already own for re-listening.
I dug out U2's "How to dismantle an atomic bomb" which I bought the week it came out, listened to for 2 weeks and then filed away. Now that I've been listening to it a good bit, this line jumps out at me quite frequently:

"Some things you shouldn’t get too good at
Like smiling, crying and celebrity.
Some people got way too much confidence baby"-Original of the Species, U2

And I wonder about how we really do seem to become professionals at being down on ourselves, or looking happy when we aren't. Some people are so convincing at pretending to feel something they do not. It seems to me that this makes the times you really do hurt and the times you are truly happy a little less golden. Just a thought.

Also on the music topic, I woke up hearing Amos Lee's "Seen it all Before" in my head. It was a nice thing to wake up to. I think I was singing quite frequently by Sunday. No one hit me to keep me quiet, so that's good. I sing when I'm happy though. It's been a while.
