Music is my escape

I've had a mix of several different emotions today and I found myself changing my playlist to fit my mood. While doing this, I realized that music is my escape... (Nice picture eh? None of this music makes me hate anyone.. I just thought it was creative.) Last week was Fleetwood Mac and this week I'm on a big kick with the Killers (particularily their album Day & Age.) The song 'This is your life' has some interesting lyrics and I found myself relating to them as I drove the canyon this morning to work. "The sky is full of dreams...but you don't know how to fly." Lately I've been feeling short on chasing my dreams and can feel something about to give, but I don't know when where or how. I wish I had the creative mind of song writers, sometimes I find they can say it better than I can put into words. However, sometimes I'm disappointed by lyrics. Take for example "Arizona" by Kings of Leon... one of my favorites, the rhythm, the guitar solo and the drums just do something to me., but the lyrics are about a whore house in Arizona... Gotta love those kinds of lyrics. Anyway, enjoy the selection I've created...maybe you too can find your escape ;)
