Music Blogging

Howie Day's Collide has been irritating me for months. Does it remind anyone else of the classic Vanessa Williams song "Save the Best for Last" (which i will admit to listening over and over and over again in third grade. I always cast myself in the role of undiscovered love interest. Funny how that turned out in real life. Anyway, i'm glad to report that my music tastes (and romantic expectations) have changed a tad.)

Vanessa's lyrics:
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon

Howie's lyrics:
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine/Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Howie Day reminds of the John Meyer-like singers. Who, on the surface, exude some depth but on listening to them closely turn out to be boring and cliche. Also the way he sings it, all breathy with dramatic pauses makes me hate the song even more.

Anyway, it's a random song which most of you probably haven't heard, but like the creepy Saab commercial i've meaning to blog about this for months, it has annoying the crap out of me.
