Day 15: A Song that Describes You

Jambo!

[Yes, that was Mean Girls.] Anyway, hey there, friends. Today's song is one that describes me. Which is perfect, because I have absolutely no idea which song that is. [3 hours pass...] I'm back. This blogging window has been open, incomplete for some time now, but no worries. I have come up with an excellent song to satisfy your viewing needs....

"Crazy as Me" by Alison Krauss. ["Another country song!?" the haters scream. "No..." I reply. "Its bluegrass."] Its a little depressing that I identify with this song so much, but for some reason, the lyrics always hit home. Essentially its about a woman who has resigned herself to living alone [besides a few petty relationships] because she hasn't met a man who can keep up with her. She doesn't want a hypocrite, she doesn't want a lady's man. She just wants somebody that understands her. What I love best about the song is she says that she's not going to change herself to accommodate a man. She loves her life, she does her thing, it'd just be cool if there was a guy to do it with. [I love to ride alone and sing a song and listen to the radio, you can ride along and if you change your mind, well, that's just fine, but there's somethin' that you've got to know...] That's kind of the story of my life...

But anyway, I love Alison Krauss. She can sing. She can play. She's awesome. Check her out. Its time for me to go, so here's to good musicians, good music, and strong women. Good night and good luck.

[PS That was Day 15, so we're only halfway there.]
