I need you like a heart needs a beat but it's nothing new

Lo Ling; listening to "Apologize" by Timbaland ft. One Republic... other way around? hmm; 9:26 AM; my laptop my desk my room my rieber; feeling anxious slightly

I know... it's only been ten hours and I'm already writing another one of these. I can't help it. There's just so much to SHARE. Pretty word.


Alright so today's thought includes one thing. But I'm gonna throw in something from past days as well.

This

morning, I got up, as I do every day, to the sound of my roommate Mary's alarm clock radio. I don't remember what song was playing, which probably goes to show that I really didn't like it. And I went back to bed. Only to be woken a few minutes later by the voice of either a phone-sex operator, or someone imPERSONating a phone-sex operator, operating on the radio DJs...

I don't know what station it was except that I don't usually listen to it and now I know why.

Regardless, a couple mornings ago, I was so beautifully awoken by the song "Apologize" (that which I am currently listening to) on Mary's alarm clock radio. I'm really not here to talk about the song. It could have been any song I hold a current infatuation for. It's the concept, the feeling of simply,

waking up to something you really like.

I remember waking up to "Daughters" by John Mayer once back at home. That was very nice too.


My point is

today I woke up to some song that I really didn't care about, and in order to make it up to myself I decided I would just play "Apologize" for myself via youtube--hahaha, and THAT would help me enjoy my waking hours.

My point is

that's not how it works
formeatleast


I didn't even play myself the song after I got up because I realize the effect was gone. Enjoy my "waking" hours? I was already awake. Something unexpected, a surprise, an unsuspected melody, these are all gifts from Mr. or Ms. Let LIFE Make Your Day Because You Probably Get Tired Of Making It Yourself. The song is no less great now that I sit here listening to it, but the feeling I get now is different from the one I got those couple of mornings ago. It's really just like this simple GIFT, before you're even awake. And then you are. And it's so happy. I guess if I had to find an analogy it could be like getting up on Christmas morning. Except I don't know what that specifically feels like. But I think the parallel is there. You know what I mean?

I guess that's all I wanted to say. I like music I like in the morning. Shrug.


Next up.

Has anyone seen the music video for "AYO Technology" ? Well I have.

And I wish I hadn't. I think instead of "AYO Technology" they should have called it

"Watch media moghuls Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and 50 Cent undertake another industry--PORN!!! Featuring Justin Timberlake and 50 Cent as co-directors, costume directors, and co-stars, and Timbaland as--duh, the producer."


I'm not kidding. Basically it's a bunch of models in their skivvies occassionally, actually a lot of the time, up on the "co-stars", and then we see Timbaland in his chair, moving these clips through thin air, editing, arranging, producing the whole damn thing.

I thought Justin was classy. I should have known!

Good song though.



So anyway, here's a video. No. Not AYO. I'm not puttin that on here. It's "Apologize", and I think it's probably one of the best music videos I've seen recently. It's simplistically and aesthetically constructed, and that's all I really ask out of life.

Oh yeah, and for surprises. =)




Enjoy.
