In less than a month, I'll be seeing Elbow and losing myself in the urban jungle that is Chicago. I'm very much looking forward to wandering aimlessly through the city, seeing what I find.
Me, I see a city and I hear a million voices
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub
Reaching down into the ground,
Stretching up into the sky
Why?
Because they can...
Oh my god, Chi-town can talk
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Everybody owns the great ideas,
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner.
Oh, and even though I don't think it'll be possible, I really REALLY wish I could have this umbrella to take, if it forcasts rain during my trip. Because... it's just so my style, and I love it.
Annd, just completed the final step, locking down a place to stay. Sweeet.
So that song I just recently posted - "Easier" by Nico Vega - continues to hold my attention. Watching the video again tonight, my favorite part is the towards the end, starting with the instrumental part (2:35 on the video and on). The little girl coming up to him, listening to him and dancing, giving him the confidence he needed. He had persistence, as the vid shows from the beginning, but she gives him the confidence needed to get what he desired... to be accepted as a Mariachi. That, along with Aja's backseat dancing, makes it a great sequence.
Even though I really love "Charge" and "My Sad Captains" from Elbow's latest album, I still find myself cranking up both my iTunes and my computer volume to max when "New York Morning" comes on.
