Hey, everyone!
While I work up the courage to finish recording my first review and/or post a text review of some kind, I thought I'd give you an idea where I'm coming from musically with a 30 Songs in 30 Days meme.
Music has always been a part of my life, and I tend to retain things I hear more than things I see, and I impress/annoy friends and family with my ability to recognize and sing songs after only hearing a little bit of it.
That's why I'm choosing to go this route primarily with my reviews, but I will probably review other things in my other blog(s).
For now, though, let's jump in with...
Day 01 – Your favorite song
"Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)" by Jim Croce
This song is, to me, the perfect song. It tells a whole story from beginning to end in the course of the lyrics. The instrumentation is amazing without overpowering the singer. And Jim Croce's voice fits this song perfectly: hovering between calm confidence and emotional surrender, but never quite reaching either.
Jim Croce is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. He knows how to tell a story well, based on his other, more well-known songs, and nothing he does is overdone or underdone: the lyrics aren't overly emotional or bland, and his singing is likewise.
A lot more songs that you will see on this list are more emotionally attached to me, but this one will always and forever be my favorite.
