Favorite Song
Posted on July 22nd, 2005 by JTkPosted in music |
From time to time folks have asked me, “what’s your favorite song?”. If you know me at all you know I am a music whore - and I like a little bit of everything. Cow-Punk, Stax/Volts soul, The Dead, Classic Rock, Chicago Blues, etc…
So I never had an answer - sometimes I defer, sometimes I would say Estimated Prophet or SRV’s Life Without You, generally I’d say I didn’t know.
And while I dearly love the aforementioned songs, the other day I had an apifiny - I did have a favorite song.
From the opening bass line I start to get goose bumps, honestly I really do - and by the time it builds into a crescendo and he sings “I wanna rock your gypsy soul” I get that funny little feeling inside me that is impossible to explain. Ryan prolly thinks this sounds ghey - but it is very real.
Nothing else touches me the way that Van Morrison’s Into the Mystic does.
We were born before the wind, Also younger than the sun - and magnificently we will float into the mystic…
‘ere the bonny boat was won.
The horns do it for me–the goosebumps.
geigh.
Nice to know that some things in life are predictable….
