I don't have a copy of my favourite song. I don't have it on mp3, I don't have it on cd, don't have it on tape, 8-track or record. Oh wait, I do have a laughable version of it in a midi file. I have all kinds of midi files, just to collect them. I find them really funny with all the crappy beeping and such. I don't have a copy of my favourite song because I'd wear it out. Like when you get any cd, you play one song a little more than the rest, especially when you first get it, and I don't want to do that. My favourite song you may think to be a hollow modern piece of crap, but it isn't. Really. It's Everlong by the Foo Fighters/Dave Grohl. I just find it very powerful and moving, the whole thing. Every time it comes on tv or the radio I just sort of have to stop what I'm doing and think to the last time I heard the song. It's an interesting little ritual. It's my favourite because it's me. There is one line thats so defining of me:

only thing I'll ever ask of you/
you've got to promise not to stop when I say when.

That is my only thought. It's really my only thought of importance a lot of the time. I mean, I can dream about peace and harmony amongst these pathetic small minded peoples of the earth, but it will always remain such as that... only a dream. The thought of someone just being there, just caring and pouring themselves out into things like I do and the way I do is just amazing. And the thought of that person being there for me is just the more emotional. I would be able to write better about the feeling if I had heard the song in the past number of days, but I haven't. Maybe tomorrow at work, don't know. That song is the only reason I ever consider learning to play actual guitar (not bass, any three fingered monkey can play bass, as I've learned) any time recently. Of course, it wouldn't be the same, so I leave it be to the pros. I don't think I got anywhere near the point across that I wanted to, about the song... but thats the thing about music. Once I thought that music without words, modern music that is, would be pointless, and even then pointless without good positive words. It didn't really take too long to figure out I had my head pretty far up my ass on that one. Three little chords can change a persons mood rather well on their own, without any kind of words. Thats strange maybe, but wonderful. I love Everlong. Thats what I aspire to acheive someday. I want to be the human embodiment of Everlong, but more so, I want to find my own little redheaded Everlong. That'd be... nice.
