79.
artist:the wreckers
album:stand tall, look pretty
Jessica Harp and Michelle Branch got my attention with "leave the pieces." i wasn't a huge Michelle branch fan when she was doing her solo thing, or at least i got bored very easily with it, but this wreckers stuff had a lot more soul and i was able to connect to it on a level that Michelle's poppy stuff would never reach.
i haven't really had any life-changing events happen while listening to this CD, or anything that is really worth noting. i actually pulled it out back in the fall because the episode of "one tree hill" in which the wreckers come to perform in some capacity in tree hill was on. i wont get into the specifics, but you can watch the video if you'd like.
today, though, one of the songs that i don't really remember paying much attention to before really caught my ear. "now I'm grown and all alone and wishing i was with you tonight. cause i can guarantee things are sweeter in Tennessee." if you know anything about me at all you know that its my goal to get my butt down to Tennessee to live there, even if its just for a little while. i am enamoured with that state and every summer that I've been there I've left a little bit more of my heart, and these days id venture to guess more of my heart is down there than is still up here in Jersey.
the song crazy people makes me laugh every time i hear it. its another one that i forget exists until it starts to play, and then i giggle because, while its a beautiful song, the lyrics are a bit out there. exactly as they should be. it also has a bit of a "goodbye earl" feel to it which i kind of love more than i should.
the girls are both currently staying focused on their solo careers from everything that I've seen. all reports say that they aren't split up, just that the wreckers is a side project for both of them. i would be a happy camper if these two ladies decided to record another album together. i love stand still, look pretty a lot more than i realize.
