I'm really exhausted, so it's going to be a really short post today because I can hardly keep my eyes open. I had a presentation assessment today and have another tomorrow and then an essay due later this week, so I think despite just coming from the mid-semester break, I'm just beginning to crash and want to go into hibernation and wake up when I graduate. Over the past couple of days I've had my iPod on shuffle, not really knowing which artist to listen to while doing homework, so I've just been skipping critically through my collection of eclectic songs, which is an extremely revealing exercise. What I mean is, sometimes I can't pinpoint my precise mood and after skipping songs by the hundreds and listening to a very select few, I discover how I'm really feeling which I may not have realised before.
Now, after that long winded introduction, today's song is Matt Simons' 'Catch & Release' that came out a couple of years ago. It was the song that I prepared for myself last night to listen to first thing when I woke up this morning. I don't really remember doing this last night, but I expect my mentality behind it is that it begins with the sound of waves before the acoustic guitar begins it's rolling accompaniment for the soft vocals. The lyrics, singing and music are really lovely and a really gentle way of starting the day, which I was really thankful to myself for choosing, because I must have gotten it ready while half asleep at 3am ready for my wakeup after a few hours.
Despite feeling completely wrecked after today, at least this song is a positive start and finish to it. Also, it was first played to me by one of my friends in the UK, when it was one of my last days with them, so it has nice memories associated with the song.
