Shedding light



Last autumn was the first time Jordan shed light to my musical preferences. Already having a decent common interest and similarity, he started throwing names of bands out to me and I was smart enough to give them a try. Born Ruffians being one of those bands. They had me immediately because the bass... oh the bass. Such funky bass and it always presents itself so significant. This is the sound of my autumn. I was just listening to this song while driving through roadwork traffic near my house and I found myself being taken back to last autumn, in the morning, while driving to school. Or driving for the first time at all.

My point being... I really appreciate when someone sheds some light in things I don't see, notice, or understand. For the most part, I honestly think that I have the tendency of realizing when I am wrong or mistaken, or when I have faltered. When I'm wrong or lacking, I acknowledge and I take full responsibility. No matter what. I take pride in myself for not fighting it so much. Anything really. I am the same way with music. If someone lets me see something they believe, I give it a chance, and more often than not, I end up finding what they found. And it is comforting to be connected with someone in that way. There have been times where I was sure that I am not fond of a certain, album, band, song, but once someone who thinks otherwise lets me in on why they believe it good, then I usually take the time to see it too. I like to be washed over with relief and satisfaction when I am convinced things otherwise. It's like I am always more knowledgeable than I was a second ago.
