Good Night

Currently LIstening: Sharks Keep Moving - Sailor

It was a good night. Had a lot of fun hanging out with people I haven't seen/hung out with in a while. Even though none of the plans held, today was the most fun I've had in a long time.


Today I found myself in a weird mood while I was on my way to work. I was looking through my iPod as I was driving and came across the band Sharks Keep Moving. On any other day I would've continued my search for something else, but today I felt like I should give them another shot. It worked out in the best way possible. I just hit the first track and kept driving. It was so calming to hear the low drum beat, the chill bass line and smooth guitar. The lack of lyrics was just what I was looking for as well.

Having all the lyrics paint me a picture was great, but being able to just use the music itself to create this image was a different experience. 3-4 minutes out of the 8 present in the song 'Sailor' gave me that along with a much needed calmness that my life lacks right now. I'm sure everyone has that song, or that moment where something you overlooked has given you a different outlook on your current situation. It just made me think about how I should ignore my nagging feelings about how some of my friendships are weakening cause they're not. Tonight was living proof of that and it's a relief to have less on my mind.

Now only Christmas shopping is left.
