I've always felt a deep connection to music but never realized how easily music can recal memories for me until now. It wasn't long ago that I fell in love with "Since U Been Gone":http://revjim.net/2005/03/11/random-thoughts/, a truly terrible song that I absolutely love. I can hear that song now and feel the immense freedom and daunting uncertainty that I felt then.
I heard "Sweet Tequila Blues" by Carrie Rodriguez and Chip Taylor for the first time just this past week and I've got it on repeat now. Even though I can still feel "Wanderlust":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderlust pumping in my veins, this song brings that feeling to the very surface of my being. I'm just grateful that it's actually a *good* song this time.
I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it.
If I get close to it just put me on a train.
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town.
Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down.
You can hear a sample of the song from thier "Let's Leave This Town":http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?link_code=ur2&tag=revjimnet-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&location=%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB00006HICJ%3Fv%3Dglance%26n%3D5174 at Amazon.
