Greetings followers,
I hope your summer has been a ball and a half. As usual, my summer was conspicuously work-filled and blog-free. I had fully intended to keep blogging throughout the summer, perhaps finish the 30 Day Song Challenge, but that obviously did not happen. So, today I found myself strangely craving a good blogging session after a month of absence. And where better to start than on Day 25 with a song that makes me laugh? And that song is....
"Friends O' Mine" by the fabulously unfabulous Bowling for Soup. Although this song isn't particularly funny, I think the lyrics are clever and honest. The simplicity of the lyrics and rhymes make the song what it is: "We saw the world and the world seems smaller. We're getting wider, but not getting no taller."It is not a masterpiece, it's not even beautiful, but it's real and representative of their relationship. The quality of his voice is mediocre at best and the melody is simplistic and unpolished, but I think the overall effect is raw and perfect. The friendship described isn't polished and pretty, it's messy and unpretentious; if you ask me that is the best kind of friendship there is.
I've already grown bored of this post, but don't want to put off posting it another day. So here it goes. Here's to the simple things in life, to effortless, unpretentious friendships, and finally squeaking out another post. G'night, all.
