How To Save A Life

I think this is the 45th time I have listened to this song today. I'm not sure what I like the most about it yet though. The lyrics are compelling. The melody heart warming. The lead vocalist has grabbed hold of a part of my soul and I'm not sure I can make him let go. 46th time. The first time I heard this song, my heart melted and I immediately found the words and printed them off so I could memorize them. I've been singing it in the shower, in the car and now at the computer. "Try to slip by his defense..." Gawd. This song. I danced to it for at least half an hour. Long enough to start to glisten with small beads of sweat. "...with you all night..." The beat; it's hard to describe. I can sway dance to it or do a two step. It's amazing. To be able to do the combination of the two. It's hard to find in a song. Well, it's hard to find in a song where you can blend the two together well. 47th. So sidetracked when his voice comes over the speakers. I have to read and re-read what I have written. I get up and sway around the basement. I even ignore the instant messages so I can listen to his vibrato. I've been holding my bladder for the longest time because I don't want to be out of ears range. I have learned that this band has been primarily played on the television show Grey's Anatomy... I don't watch that show. Maybe that's a good thing, as this obsession would have started earlier than it has and I would be way more insane than I am right at this moment. Even the kick drums. Everything about this song is beautiful. 49th. "you begin to wonder why you came" I wanted to go to the bands concert when they came to Toronto. I asked one of my girlfriends if she would like to come with me. She had no idea who I was talking about. I didn't go see them. I'm stupid. Well, maybe not exactly stupid. At a concert you have to contend with all the other millions of adoring fans, screaming and singing and shouting their praises. At least in the comfort of my own house I can listen to them all on my own. No other voices to compete with. No other disturbances to piss me off and try to disrupt my concentration. Just me and this song. Over and over and over again. I like the other songs, don't get me wrong. 50th. There's just something about this particular one. I can't put my finger on it yet. Excuse me while I go dance around for a while.
