I am the type of person who always has music on. It's not just for ambiance. I like to attentively listen to the heartbeat that is the bassline, the palpitations of the drums and the salacious sound of a human being using their voice as an instrument, turning poetry in to a whole new art.
I know, I know. I'm an artsy-fartsy sap.
Sometimes I get fixated on one song that, excuse the cliché, speaks to me.
Today it was "Four Letter Word" by Gossip.
After listening to it 19 times, according to my iTunes play count, I decided to press that handy little Genius button that creates a playlist for you.
Most Genius playlists are unimpressive and lackluster. This one, however, was so perfect that I listened to the whole thing without skipping a song and nearly cried at the end as The Kills' Black Balloon played. I'm not one to cry, ever. Bad girls don't cry.
This is my playlist.
Love it.
I do. More than I've loved anything in a long time.
