I was talking with a friend about the music snob in me the other day and my initial dis-like for The Dave Matthews band. You know, like the early 90's popular band that all the drunk frat boys cranked at keg parties, and a band that the radio played at nasseum.
So, I refused to listen or give them a chance. Not fair. But again, me being a stuck up snob about popular music.
Until....this song. 6 years ago, my girlfriend Melissa was packing to go to Europe to be with her new boyfriend, but, at the same time, was also leaving her ex-boyfriend in NY behind, who was still in love with her. Upon coming to see her and say goodbye, he gave her a mix cd, which she put on after he left, as she continued to pack.
As I sat there in the silence with her watched her pack, this song came on and made her cry and me cry.....and changed my mind about Dave Matthews.
It's a beautiful song.
Take a listen.
About Me
- *TRENNY*
- I'm Trenny and my philosophy is rather simple-I believe there are only 2 forces in this world, Love or Fear. My goal is to try to see things through the eyes of love, but I am fallible and do not always succeed. My professional career at the moment is that of a fashion stylist in New York,but my interests are varied. This blog is the like a blog ‘magazine/newspaper/journal', where I’ve combined all the elements of things that I love to learn through those mediums myself. Some life journaling, lots of music. A little health, natural product talk and recipe sharing. Random musings on life experiences, a little style, art and humour. Environment issues too as nature is our greatest gift. I hope it teaches you something, makes you laugh, or gets you interested in something different. If it fires you up,I welcome learning all different points of view. I hope that what I share, including my mistakes, encourages you. *In the end, I believe we are all each other's teachers, so whatever you might be inspired to say/share with me through this blog- good and bad- I fully welcome it. I learn just as much from you. Happiness and Love xoxo TrennyLynn - trennylynn@gmail.com
