Dustland Fairytale

So its been a week since I started blogging and to be quite honest I sort of stopped myself from writing anything for 1st week to try and not abuse the blog. I was feeling self conscious cause I didn't want to blog at some obnoxious ass rate that made it seem like people where hanging on to my every word. But I realized with a blog named "ANYTHING & EVERYTHING," does it matter? So from now on I am not going to give a shit about how much I might blog in a given week/day. SO we forge on:




This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Whenever I hear this song, I feel like I am in a movie. The first few notes set up the song with a ghostly echoing that makes me think of an epic, homeric (just learned of this word, so I was dying to use it in context, YEAH I read The Odyssey, barely...) story that takes place in an over-exposed vintage film world. As the song goes on and the story continues with more instruments joining in, its sound gets bigger and bigger until it just transforms into the sort of song that you would have playing as you speed down I5 with the top down on your vintage convertible and the sun setting behind you. (If you can't tell by now my mind is usually riddled with patches of drama, fields of romanticism, and the occasional optimistic/pessimistic wild flower that grow here and there.) And goddamn, the video does not disappoint. It has a story that takes place in the 50's with chucks, leather jackets, and girls who wanted to look like Betty Paige. It has super dramatic cinematography with a sunwashed glow. Go look it up on youtube! see for yourself! I feel like I might have over hyped it a bit but whatever I love it.
