Ahhhhh:)

I am listening to "First Dates" by Blink-182 and I love it. I have their greatest hits blaring on repeat. Their music is so good. A lot of their songs really get to me. This one in particular is about a guy who is nervous on his first date. He just wants the date to get over, but the relationship to work. It is really cute.

It is not just the words that make this a great song. I love drums. To me the drums are almost the most important thing in a song. The first thing that is key is the sound of the voice. If it is annoying and unpleasnt, the song is just annoying when it is on the radio. Next I think is drums. The rythem is what classifies the song. After that is the combination of bass and guitar. They have to go together well and they have to go with everything else. Most of my absolute favorites have a bass and guitar sound that is playing two different things. It is harder to do, so you know they put a lot of thought into it. Lastly into making a great song is the words. If everything else is great, the words don't matter. It is the reason why I love a lot of church songs. The words are pretty cheesy but everything else is pretty cool.

Blink-182 is pretty amazing. Now I am listening to "Feeling This". I have no idea what this song is about, but I love it. I am glad their drummer Travis Barker was in a plane crash and I am happy he is okay. His talent is amazing. He will always have burn scars, and might not ever be able to play like this again, but he will live pretty normal and I'm happy for that.

Now "I miss you" is playing. This is one of my favorite songs ever. I have loved this song since the first time I heard it. It refrences "The Nightmare Before Christmas" when he says: "live like Jack and Sally" and that is one of my favorite movies of all time. I also think of this song whenever I hear the word spider. I told that to my friend and now she thinks the same thing. I think it is funny. Everytime we listen to her ipod I we will listen to Blink-182. My choise. I think she gets annoyed sometimes, but she lets me.

I am adding the offical "First Dates" music video. Caution: Swearing.
