Waste

Here's another song that whenever I'm down and out, it gets me back on my feet. Or it comforts me. Like being a child and sitting by yourself and suddenly someone, a close friend comes and lifts your chin to their face. a smile. wipe a tear if there is one. taking a hand and following. and then...arms wide open.

I was introduced to Foster The People by one of my dearest and closest best friends. She is almost like a sister to me. We share and talk about music. We have somewhat of the same taste. She introduced this to me during the Summer of 2011. At the time I had been struggling with a few things and I had also recently got Minecraft. She recommended to me to get the entire album and so I did, and while I played Minecraft, this was my Minecraft album. Torches. All the songs appealed to me. There was one I fell madly in love with but this one isn't it. This one, by accident, became a favorite. "The Devil's on your back but I know you can shake him off..." this line always struck out to me. and I felt reassured to pick myself up, brush my shoulders off, and move along.

It's whenever I begin to worry or fret or stress, I just want some sort of reassurance that I'm not going to be alone. This song makes me feel like I won't be. I mean, there are many other songs that make me feel this way but there's a certain freedom about this one. a certain Truth. I'm not at liberty to speak my mind about it but I do know I dearly appreciate having heard of this song and this band and this entire album. The album is Gold by the way. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants some Indie Rock in their tunes.

thanks Solo Baby :)
