1. I'm Willing - Ben Lee
Its an amazingly simple concept.
Its so simple that I'm postive that its been done before.
Nonetheless, lets just imagine that the concept is my own.
83 Songs. 83 Entries.
Each song will have a meaning to me, good or bad, deep or superficial, relevant or irrelevant. And I'll try to share it with you in passable and complete English sentences. Failing that, I'll find some way to link my non sequitur randomness to the song in the title. And trust me, thats gonna happen quite a bit. Some posts will be long and interesting, others short and confusing, but I'll make one iron-clad guarantee to you now; I will never simply post the lyrics of a song up just because I think they accurately reflect my mood and/or situtation at the current time.
Well that's the plan anyway. And you all know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men...what kind of mice make plans?
Anyway, so I've chosen to begin with a very simple tune by Ben Lee, 'I'm Willing'.
Unless you have Ben Lee's latest album, 'Awake is the New Sleep', you probably haven't heard this song before. Its the last track of the set, track 14 to be precise, and is very simple in its arrangement; a single acoustic guitar, a repeating finger-plucked melody and Ben's unique voice. The lyrics deal with something that I can't really be bothered explaining suffice to say that the line, "I'm willing" is used in the chorus.
Its hard to explain why I love this song so much, its could just be the soothing melody, or the fact that I can somewhat play it on my own guitar (for future reference, I have a guitar but can't play it very well). Its just a very good song. Granted its not the type to be played on the radio, but its the type of song that I've listened to just before I go to sleep at night.
A song like this makes me happy about life. That's not to say that I'm unhappy with the general state of my existence, far from it, but there's always songs that you can listen to that makes everything make sense or at least more sense just for those 4 minutes and 1 second. And this is one of them.
I could go on (and by that I mean there's not much else that I could write so I'll just pretend that I've chosen to cut myself off), but I won't.
This should get easier in time, and hopefully more entertaining. But at the very least, I wish you all a happy entry into 2006, the year of the disabled chicken.
See, non sequitur.
