Guster tunes, Hawaiian style
During the past week, I've been away from my computer and the blog for a reason--I went to Hawaii, where I had no internet access. Yeah, I know, it was painful. I had to cry myself to sleep then go to the beach in the morning. Rough life. Now I'm back to the snow in Utah and my Internet connection, and I'm quite rested. You're getting some prime material here.
Though I was disconnected from the Internet last week, I did have my iPod handy, and Guster helped me get through some of those "tough" times. Who knew a vacation to Hawaii could be so arduous? While laying in bed in the beach house, I rediscovered some excellent music. One tune that really struck me was Grin from Goldfly. I liked the melody and the thoughts of smiling it brought me on that night, just like it is at this very moment. The chorus is quite appealing, and the rest of the story is interesting. Another Guster tune that made me happy was So Long, which I've been more impressed with after each time I'm turned down. More than a song about a breakup, this tune strikes a chord with me on a deeper level. It's about moving on from rejection and being happy about it. Sometimes in life, you just have to bounce back.
Anyway, happy New Year to all, even though it's so late you've probably all given up on your resolutions by now. Thanks for reading. I look forward to another exciting year of following a great band. I hope the information I'm giving you is useful or at least entertaining, 'cuz I hate blogs filled with useless trash. If you have any suggestions for me, any interesting topics or ideas, feel free to let me know. I'd love to hear them.
