bookofdanielvol2Haven't done one of these - or used this journal at all - in awhile. I'll try to do a regular entry soon.
1. Do you believe that music can have a direct effect on your life?
I'll say yes, of course, although I'm having trouble thinking of a specific example and a specific way it affected me. Plenty of cases where a song becomes associated with a specific event, place or time though.
2. What is your current favorite song?
I don't really have a single current favorite song. But I have been playing Sea of Stars and the boss theme ("Encounter Elite!") has been creeping into my head a lot.
3. What's the one song from junior high that you can still rattle off all the words to?
I used to be able to do all of Blues Traveler's "Hook," including all of that almost rap-like third verse, and in a pinch I probably still could. I mean, there's probably more than a few, really.
4. Did you have a prom song? Don't be embarrassed, we all did it.
"Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica.
5. Do you and your significant other have a "song" that you share?
No S/O currently, and I didn't really have an official "our song" with the last one. Maybe that was part of the problem.
If I were in a situation to have an "our song" and I got to pick, Strawbs' "Grace Darling" (probably the acoustic Cousins/Willoughby duo version specifically) would be my top pick, with alternates including the Penguin's "Earth Angel," Steve Winwood's "Higher Love" and Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth." Or maybe - heh - Michael Bolton's "Can I Touch You... There?"
