I am constantly reminded of my favorite scene in American Beauty. The scene where Ricky is showing Jane his video tape of the bag dancing in the wind. How the music comes together with the visual imagery there is incredible. And then Ricky gets all chocked up explaining to Jane how sometimes there is so much beauty in the world, he just can't take it...

I feel that way more and more. I get so overwhelmed with so many of the beauties in this world. And I hope everyone has a chance to be overwhelmed with the awesome force of something at some point in their lives. I get it all the time with music. Just listening to someone like Coltrane... the power, the emotion, the sensation... too unreal for words. It amazes me how we can connect with people so perfectly sometimes. I love it and sometimes there really is too much beauty for words.

SONGS OF THE DAY:

Johnny Cash - Hurt. Is there a more personal, heartwrenching song out there? And to think that this is a Nine Inch Nails cover? Too incredible.

Neil Young - Revolution Blues. This song is like that gang of hoodlums parading around your neighborhood with their slicked hair and unshaven faces... Bound to knock you over.
