my favorite.

Tragic incident of 2008: When my computer crashed.

I thought I was going to be most sad about my pictures that I lost, but it turns out that I was most sad about the music I lost. Despite Mark Burley, Dilyn Duffey, and my twin's FANTASTIC and successful attempt to give me some really awesome music. There was one main person missing from my music collection.

Mr. (David) Ryan Adams.

Selma recently "gave" me Mr. Adam's music. I've been pretty much complete ever since.
If you want to get a taste of just how great he is...please download "New York New York." It is the song I start or end every run with. I listen to it on every walk to class when I had/have my mp3 player/i-pod. But you could download all music from his solo album's Gold or Love is Hell and be really happy just like me!

Here are the lyrics:

"New York, New York"

Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July
I had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breakin' like a rocket who makin' its way
To the cities of Mexico
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But I've broken up and busted up since

And love don't play any games with me
Anymore like she did before
The world won't wait, so I better shake
That thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still love you, New York

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
Every day the children they were singing their tune
Out on the streets and you could hear from inside
Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd
I would wait for you and I'd try to hide

And love won't play any games with me
Anymore if you don't want it to
The world won't wait and I watched you shake
But honey, I don't blame you
Hell, I still love you, New York
Hell, I still love you, New York
New York

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
In a church on the upper west side
Babe, I stood their singing, I was holding your arm
You were holding my trust like a child
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B
But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love of my life
At least we left before we had to go

And love won't play any games with you
Anymore if you want 'em to
So we better shake this old thing out the door
I'll always be thinkin' of you
I'll always love you though New York
I'll always love you though New York, New York, New York


Aside from Mr. Adams, my worship music, Goo-Goo Dolls, Keith Urban, and YoungLife Classics are also missed at the moment. I'll work on getting those...in the mean time, Mr. Adams is on constant repeat shuffle on my i-pod!
