I ...This is my second time reading the above essay. I have listened to Sonsick about 20 times since you posted it on the blog. I LOVE reading about why certain songs become someone's #1 song of the year. I love when lyrics are dissected. I love that these tiny pieces of music contain so much power and so much possibility. And, I liked that you loved the song while Ilana was horrified! So, after hearing the song (and it causes a slight jolt every time it comes on unexpectedly) I like it. I want to say I love it because it resonates with me on many levels. Yet, it is disconcerting, uncomfortable in many ways. It's is uplifting, sort of. I think, a lot of life is a summer kind of sickness. The 85% analogy is a good one. Or, like Rob Gordon said, "I can't say we had a good time, I can't say that." Or, how he described his relationship with Laura as not great but good. Sounds shitty at first. Then, you realize that good is a big deal! How much of day to day life is truly good? tanookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15360642268068388300noreply@blogger.com
