a look into the music i listen to. part 2

so this was suppose to be a "regular feature". i stress, supposed to. i posted one entry on christmas eve when i had the original idea and that was the only one i ever posted. so it has gone from "regular feature" to "quarterly feature". hopefully i can get back to "regular" status because i think it's a good idea.

here is the original concept of the feature from the december 24th post:

the plan is to put my itunes on random, press play, then take whatever track comes up first and blog about it.

if any apply i'll relate any personal stories or feelings i have for the songs, if not, i'll probably just rattle off some basic information.

i'm not going to cheat and only select certain groups or genres.

this should be an interesting insite into the music i love. everything from rock to classical.

today's track is house in the woods by tom petty.

i've never been a huge tom petty fan. in fact the album this track comes from, wildflowers, is the only one i own. i believe it may have been a gift.

house in the woods has one of my favorite choruses of all time:

                  Oh my love, what can I do?
                  What can I do but love you?
                  For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights
                  What can I do but love you?

so much said in such simplicity, great writing. i may have the soul of a rocker, but lyrics like this always go straight to my heart.

unfortunately i don't have a lot to say about this one. there are a lot of other great tracks on wildflowers. if you are looking to get into tom petty you can't really go wrong with it. that's my opinion anyway.

i hope to make this a weekly feature. if you catch me slacking on it please bust my chops until i write one.

peace
