I seem to have been out of the loop when it comes to music over the last few months. I’ve spent a lot of my time watching films or reading books. However, lack of sleep combined with straining of the eyes has just given me migraines and not let me appreciate what I’ve been reading/watching. Which is why I journeyed back into the world of music again!!
I’ve spent the week lying in bed, resting my eyes and just listening to some tunes. They’ve helped me gain some sense of calm when I’m lying there, the nearest I can get to sleep. Just the other day I was watching a top 40 countdown of the songs around today and I was completely surprised by some of the artists in there. I mean Katy Petty and Timbaland sure, but JEDWARD?! And they were number two in the charts! If they were number two (and face it they are really) then I wondered what had claimed the top spot.
“And another week at number 1 is…Owl City with Fireflies.”
Who was another week at number 1? Owl City? I really was out of the loop. I watched the music video and listened to the song to see what all the hype was about. To be honest , at first I didn’t find the song that special, just a typical synthpop song. However it was the video and the lyrics that made me think. A magical nocturnal world of toys and bedroom items coming to life made me imagine what it would be like if this was real. I thought of all the endless activities that could happen if the world did work like this? Thinking of this I laid back down in bed; letting my imagination run wild worked a lot better then counting sleep.
