artist:Sheryl crow
album:Tuesday night music club
when i was in middle school i used to babysit this girl that lived around the corner. she was only allowed to watch PBS and eat "healthy" snacks. we used to play barbies and take walks, and listen to this CD. i wanted it, but with no way to get to the mall to buy it, never got around to purchasing it, but her mom had it on her CD rack, and a 14 year old girl can only watch so much barney and lambchop before she wants to hang herself from the ceiling fan, so we listened to a lot of music.
i finally got around to buying this CD a few years back at tunes. i never listened to it until tonight. ha ha. i don't feel bad about that, though, because i paid either one or three dollars for it. it may have been 3 for 5 dollars. whatever. i didn't pay much, and i bought it mostly just so that i could have it, not necessarily to listen to all of the time.
tonight was probably the first time in years and years, if ever, that I've listened to the album all the way through. i was bored. it was boring. it was exactly what one would expect a chick rock circa 1993 album to sound like. the only songs that i like are the ones that i already know, leaving las vegas, strong enough, all i wanna do, and cant cry anymore. there were a few others that weren't terrible-well, i guess id say most of the CD isn't terrible, its just...boring. not my thing. ill definitely keep it on the shelf, though, not just for sentimental value, but because strong enough is a damn good song, and really fun to sing along to in the car.
I remember singing to that song and playing in the snow when I was in kindergarten. Now I've actually seen the sun come up over Santa Monica Boulevard, and I gotta say...it is way nicer watching the sun SET over Santa Monica. :P
ReplyDeleteI remember loving this cd - I got it in 5th grade - and I picked it up at a thrift store a year or two ago again for something like fifty cents...I was bored with most of it too.
