about 8 months ago i heard a song unlike any other song i had ever heard before and immediately i fell in love. it's a long story to how i first listened to this song but the second i heard the first music note i felt this tingle of joy and happiness & then once the lyrics started i listened carefully and even though they might not make sense to you i connected with the words and couldn't help but try to sing a long and start moving with the flow of the music. This song that i can go on & on about is Of Montreal's "An Eluardian Instance" I downloaded it the first chance i had and for about a good month or so it was all i listened to. And a few months later I had the opportunity of seeing of them live and they played my song and at that moment i can assure you i was the happiest girl in the room & probably had the happiest feeling i hadn't felt in a long time. Why i choose to write about it now..I can't answer but while looking at YouTube videos i came across a video with Of Montreal's lead singer Kevin Barnes talking about what motivated him to write the song and what it's basically about. In the interview he says, "it's hard to tell the people that you really love that you love them" and that is something i believe everyone can relate to. He's just brilliant and i hope i can someday tell him how much this song has touched me, it's not just a song to me, it's a lot more and i know that everyone has a song that makes them feel so content with love, life & the moments in between.
