11. Winding Road - Bonnie Somerville

Sometimes I find it hard to explain why I like things. Or dislike things for that matter.

But at the end of the day, I guess it can all come down to the 'vibe'. I have a lot of faith in the inherently indescribable 'vibe' of things. And while the results have been questionable at times, I'm going to stick by it for as long as it works.

Which brings me to 'Winding Road' by Bonnie Somerville. Now this song is tucked away as the last song in the Garden State OST. And for the life of me, I can't really give you a clear answer on why I like this one. Its nothing special, just a simple female vocal and guitar, and the lyrics are sweet and sappy, but it works for me. Lets just say that according to my itunes, its play count is at 53, ranking it as 14th on my all time played list. So its got something working for it that makes me go back to it.

Another strange thing is that while I love the Garden State OST, I've actually never seen the movie. I've actually got the dvd sitting on top of the pile but its never been played. From what I've heard, it’s a very good movie. So why haven't I seen it yet? There are three reasons that I can think of;

1) I just haven't had the time between uni/work/study and watching all the television series dvd box sets
2) I just haven't been in the mood to watch it
3) I'm subconsciously worried that the movie will not be as good as the soundtrack

I'm leaning towards a mixture of 2) and 3).

In other news, administration law is still as confusing as it was three weeks ago. And thankfully the Commonwealth Games are starting tomorrow, meaning that I now have to take public transport into the city for work. Thanks a bunch guys.
