Throughout the hour-long drive home, my iPod played 3 Cranberries tracks, none of which I skipped through, which is saying a lot, as I was skipping just about everything else. It's funny how some days one can endure just about any kind of music, while on other days, only a very specific genre will appeal to one's mood.
I guess I must have been in a very serious mood, as my usually happy Avril Lavigne was irritating the life out of me, U2's chilled-out-ness felt dreary, and My Chemical Romance was a tad too angry-sounding (although I did briefly enjoy the seething emotion of Famous Last Words)
No, it would seem that I needed seriousness, the kind that it would seem only The Cranberries are capable of producing. I am, of course, referring to their older albums, which were predominantly about war and sadness and John Lennon's death. I see that they are bringing out a new album in 2012... about time too, and I hope that at least some of their songs hold the weight of their original tastes in music... You know, the good ol' 90's grunge. I'm in need of some new serious music.
Not sure why I was so very sombre yesterday evening... probably because I'd been to the dentist yesterday morning, and I suppose I was feeling somewhat sorry for myself. Licking my wounds, as they say.
Feeling much better today! Take care of your teeth my friends, I want to see those bright shiny smiles!
