I love the way music can sympathize when I am feeling down and just want to relish the sorrow...
I love the way it makes me smile when the skies are blue and the breeze is blowing cool....
I love to listen to unusual lyrics and try to pick them apart and figure out their meaning...
When I find a new artist that really speaks to me... I dive in completely and immerse myself in their music.
That happened to me a couple of weeks ago with a group called
The Avett Brothers....
I heard a song on the radio {a station that plays more obscure bands} and as soon as I got home...I warmed up the computer and googled away.
Now a day can't go by without visiting youtube and listening to them. I am drawn to their grunginess and honesty and pure harmony.
And I got the best surprise when I found out they would be in
Kansas City in August.
Did I get tickets? You bet I did.
Does music have this affect on you? Have you found any one lately that really grabs a hold of your heart?
These are the lyrics to one of my favorite Avett Brothers songs:
I and Love and You
Load the car and write the note
Grab your bag and grab your coat
Tell ones that need to know
We are headed north
All one foot in and one foot back
But it don't pay, to live like that
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
For never to return
Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
When at first I learned to speak
I used all my words to fight
With him and her and you and me
Oh it's just a waste of time
It's such a waste of time
That women shes got eyes that shine
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
She asked to dance I said it's fine
I'll see you in the morning time
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
What you were then I am today
Look at the things I do
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age
Your dreams to catch this world the cage
The highway sets the travelers stage
All exits look the same
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
I and love and you
I and love and you
*******
good stuff.

Oh yes, music definatley speaks to me! I can hear a song from my high school days and it takes me right back there. I worship best through beautiful praise songs. I have never heard of that band, so thanks for sharing!
Love the pics and I'm a huge fan of music too. It moves me.
I have some fave songs that I play over and over until I make my kids sick! I'll search this group for sure...I can certainly add a couple more songs to my play list. Thanks!
Love the pics too.I love love all types of music, except country and rap lol.I love to listen to romantic songs and feel just so calm and relaxed.When my husband and I were first married he was in a rock band.They play the top 40 songs.It was fun for a while but when the girls came along it wasnt to hectic and crazy.I still have both his guitars,brings back memeories of music he played.he has been gone for 7 years now.He did young of esophageal cancer.Most of my blogging friends know i dont know if you did or not.Have a great week ahead!

Music sends me to so many different places. It can conjure up great memories, sad memories...I LOVE music!
Kelly Johnson is a singer from my town. She plays in a band and she is GREAT on the guitar. She is more country/gospel and she is awesome! Vince Gill is trying to help her get her foot in the door in Nashville! I told her I could say...I knew her when..
Lou Cinda :)
Beautiful post...gorgeous pix!! Music should be a part of all of our lives and alot of times it is and we don't even know it!!
Chasity that is so beautiful. It really touches my heart. I am going to google them tonight when I get home and listen to them. I am so thrilled you got tickets. Yea for you. How fun is that. You will have a great time. The pics were so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Country Hugs, Sherry
i'm going to listen to that band in just a sec.
i liked the lyrics of the song that you put in your post.
also, loved the pictures that went with your post. that first picture almost made me start crying after reading your words.
right now i'm immersed in Point of Grace. Mmmmmmm.
Cool song!! I'll have to check them out in a little bit!!
I love Dave Matthews, Third Day, Norah Jones,& Diana Krall plus lots of instrumentals!!
I love a pretty drive with soothing music!! My fave escape!
Have a splendiferous week!!
HUGS,
Becky
well, to be honest i don't really listen to music very much...i relish silence...but i do have the radio on when i am in the car...and i do have a lot of memories that are fused in the lyrics of songs...i never heard of these guys...no surprise...i usually listen to oldies...your pictures on the post today are so pretty...i'm glad you were able to get those concert tickets!!!
I thought I was the only one with this music obession. I find someone new and I can't get enough of their music, hunt down every c.d. I can get my hands, listen to them over and over again. It affects my emotions deeply. Then, in the blink of an eye, I luck upon something new. A new recent favorite is Zee Avi. Check her out and tell me what you think! Where are the Avett Brothers playing at? Curious minds need to know! :)
Smiles, Nancy
Beautiful pictures....music doesn't speak to me like it used to. I used to listen to classical music all the time but now I really only listen to music when I exercise.

Love the words to those lyrics. My kids and gkids all live in KC, so I love going there too. Come visit my blog, I'm having a give away!!
Good morning Chasity :)
What a beautiful song! I've been known to get carried away with a great deal of bands and singers. A long time back I played Sixpence None the Richer over and over until the CD broke LOL
Have a beautiful day!
xo,
rue
Heck ya!! just found Demi Lovata, I need to check her out some more! XO- missed ya!
Chasity, these images are so beautiful!!
One of my favorites lately is Joshua Radin.
I think that you get your love of music from your dad. He says that he always has a song in his head.
i'm like you Chastity i'm also moved by unusual lyrics and music that stirs me within! i'll never forget the first time i heard Loreena Mckenitt [i was in a new age shop] i was moved me to tears and her music stirs me still..i LOVE that!..i'm hoping she'll come downunder one of these days what a trill it would be to see her in concert!! btw i love your choice in music and thanks for sharing the lyrics :)
I really like that song Thank You.
Julie
