If you were a beautiful sound and the echoes all around
then I'd be your harmony
And we'd sing along with the crowd under the candy-coated clouds
Of Strawberry Avalanche... please crash over me~

Owl City - Strawberry Avalanche ( [link] )
(I just discovered that link after I typed all this up. It's not the official music video but is still awesome)


Awesome song, that. You should look it up. Really.
Lately I've discovered Owl City, and I have to say, he has some pretty good songs (It's one guy!). My favorites (in order) are Strawberry Avalanche, Hot Air Balloon and Fuzzy Blue Lights. As you can probably tell by the quote above, the songs are fairly whimsical and don't make a lot of sense to the casual listener. The general theme running through them though is some kind of companionship/love thing, which usually turns me off of music, but I actually like the way he portrays it in his songs. Mostly it's not about "OMG I NEED YOU YOU'RE EVERYTHING TO ME" but more of "Being with you is so much fun". Sirus approves.

Anyway, that verse in particular was picked (especially the first two lines) because that's the kind of relationship I want. Not literally, obviously, but the meaning behind it is something I agree with in the sense that I believe relationships should be about harmony and just enjoying each other's company instead of rules and expectations. I think that the majority of relationships just don't work that way though - people bring their own requirements in and then pollute the water with them, so to speak. If you care about someone, all that should matter is enjoying the time you two spend together and not worrying about anything else. People should always be free, if you tie them down or clip their wings they will suffer.

Oh well, people are pretty fucked up in this day and age anyway. I predict that 1000 years from now (if humanity is still alive) this era will be known as the "Era of Stupidity"... but I digress. In any case, listen to the songs. I think Owl City's music (at least those 3 songs) is worth listening to and quite a fun experience.

Oh yeah, and I'm really really busy right now, so no huge rant this time. Back to work with me...
