Dancing in the rain

I saw the movie 500 Days of Summer a couple of Days ago. I LOVE movies like that one--i wouldn't necessarily call it Indie, because of all the big names in it, but it was definitely of an Indie movie flavor. Indie movies are just icnredible--they make you feel so much. They make yuo think, introspect, and allows you to indulge in the different types of relationships people encounter in life. Well, at least, that has been my experience with Indie comedies/romance movies. Here are three examples: Garden State, Happy Accidents, Henry Poole is Here, Juno, SLC Punk, and 500 Days of Summer.

These movies tend to really play a symphony with your emotions. One of the fantastic ways they do this is via the soundtrack. I would have to say that the Garden State soundtrack was probably the best soundtrack i had ever heard when i first saw it. Then Henry Poole is Here came along, and i was floored again. THEN 500 Days fo Summer came along and i died. The soundtrack is simply beautiful. I was describing one of the songs off the soundtrack to a friend and i said, "You have to listen to this song, it just maes me want to dance in the rain!!"

This song is Vagabond by Wolfmother. Some songs you hear, just wash over you and entertain you with their melody, others speak to you and leave you with a message, and other songs, like Vagabond, pierce right through to your soul and you have no way to escape, all you can do is let it work through you--and you are left with a message/feeling/perspective that you would have never ever gotten by looking at something or even hearing someone speak. I like to say that these songs "Make me want to die." That doesn't mean i don't like it, but the song is SO good, i just want to die with happiness. Also, these songs can make you feel very sad too, depending on the tone of the song... such as Passengar Seat by Death Cab for Cutie. Any song that makes someone feel SO DEEPLY i say makes me want to die. And that is no bad thing :). It is incredible that a song can make a person feel so strongly.

All that to say, i am simply awestruck by what music can do. Especially by my latest song that i have on repeat, Vagabond. If you haven't heard it, you NEED TO. You will want to die :).
