Do you ever experience times where music just plain sounds good? I am of the belief that almost everything is better with some tunes jammin' in the background, but what I am talking about are those rare times when songs one after another get your head noddin' and your spirits lifted in a manner dissimilar to homeostatic norms. I've been sitting here studying for my Biblical Interpretation midterm with the headphones on and the volume up, and I've been loving it. In this moment every song seems expertly crafted, every beat right on time, every string picked with intent, and every vocal chord under control. I wish this happened more often.
And in case you were wondering, below are a few of the songs that popped up in the random playlist and have been ticklin' the ears.
Chevelle- Dos
10 Years- Paralyzing Kings
Metallica- The Unvorgiven II
Tedashii- No More
Sevendust- Fear
MGMT- Of Birds, Moons, And Monsters
Modest Mouse- Education
Hurt- Shallow
Evans Blue- Eclipsed
Weezer- Holiday
Green Day- Viva La Gloria (Little Girl)
Days Of The New- Weapon And The Wound
The Nixons- Sister
Chevelle- Mexican Sun
Temple Of The Dog- Call Me A Dog
Alanis Morissette- Uninvited
Aaron Lewis- In Your Eyes (acoustic cover of the Peter Gabriel original)
32 Leaves- Blood On My Hands
Radiohead- Black Star
About Me
- Aaron Halvorsen
- Portland, Oregon
- I'm just a relatively young guy who recently moved to Portland to get schooled by Western Seminary. Because Jesus is God Himself revealed to us in the flesh, I try to follow Him and what He says, all for the glory and love of God. To win in this life is to know God. I naturally fail at this paramount task, but am not left in despair. On the contrary, I am ever hopeful because my hope is not to be placed in my own ability but in Jesus' complete work in His life, death, and resurrection. I still haven't figured out how many exclamation points are necessary to capture the weight of that idea, but I'll let you know once I figure that out.
