Mei Grows Tall

I got in a real music mood the other day, and I was thinking about my favorite songs, the friend CDs I have, and memories that go along with each one. I owe that all to Indecision 1 & 2, which spurred the whole thing, because that’s when I decided to pick songs that I love. I grabbed a notebook and listed songs that linger from past and present, listened to them, read the lyrics and wrote notes about why I cared about them. Many were for simplicity – songs that say what the mean without flowery cliches. I love simple, beautiful songs with lots of harmony and smoothness. Guitar, ukulele, box drums. It’s neat to realize an aspect of the music you really like.

I’ve mix CDs that my friends have made me. There is the Josh CDs, the Tia CDs, the Casey CDs, and a Brandon CD which sorta sucks, but he gets props for at least giving me one. ha. Right now I’ve been in Tia mode, listening to such coolies as the Artic Monkeys, Metro Station, and a couple Beatles songs for good measure. It sounds just like her. I’m very impatient for more of these to keep me nice and homesick in the fall, but now I’ve been thinking about the next great Meili CD. It needs a great name and cool cover art.
