It's a Dylan kind of day...

Today I woke up and just KNEW it was a  Bob Dylan day.  For those of you who don't know me yet, you need to know that I truly love all types of music.  I listen to them all, sing them all, breathe them all.  My musical moods swing like a massive pendulum and teeter on the verge of neurosis.  Some days you wake up and the map is charted out for you though.  Today I had to listen to Dylan, like I had to suck in air and expel it again.

So I drove to work and as I did, Bob sang to me about The Watchtower, and he sang to me about Rainy Day's.  Lay Lady Lay, Maggie's Farm, Masters of War were all lovers of mine for the time it took me to drive to work.  As he sang to me, I felt my heart rise up and embrace the day so as I pulled into work I felt fat and full... as though I had just eaten a humongous and satisfying meal.  I probably had several mini orgasms as well as a meal, come to think of it.  Yes, a lot can happen in an hour.  Yikes!

On the way home from work, we switched tactics a bit.  It went something like this:

"WHOOOOOOOOOA, whoooooooa whoooooa whoooooooo!!!!  You've left me Speechless, so Speechless..."

Yes, I am talking MAJOR Lady Gaga time.  Stereo turned up too loud to think, cruising along and so by the time I got home, I was hungry rather than sated.  I didn't get to finish the album which I am neurotic and obsessive about.  I have to finish albums.  I hate stopping in the middle of an album even if I know it by heart.  I feel like I'm not doing it justice and when I get back to it, I have to start over.  O.  C.  D... you are the one for me...

I have been dancing around the fact that this is my very first blog.  I guess I just wanted to dive right in and write about these melodies that have been swirling around in my head all day long.  Tomorrow I am going for a run on the beach so there will probably be some... aggressive... yes that's the right word, music to talk about.

Here are my recommendations for you if you need something new that perhaps you haven't tried yet:

Bob and Janis singing one of my fav Dylan songs of all time...

It Ain't Me Babe

The lyrics to this song blow me away...

"Go lightly from the ledge love, go lightly to the ground..."

Best Lady Gaga song ever.

So Happy I Could Die

A control freak's kindred spirit...

"And when something falls out of place, I take my time, I put it back, I touch myself 'til I'm on track..."

Goodnight Moon...
