Our first real post, OMG!!!
So, Lydia...
Ever since I got my iPod (I'm behind the times, I know), I've been thinking a lot about music. Even more than I usually do, that is. When I was setting up this blog, I chose to use a line from the Simon and Garfunkel song, "Old Friends" as the title and quote the song in the footer.
To me, this song reminds me a lot of our friendship. It's at once a comment on the stability and longevity of our relationship, but it also speaks to me about both our past and our future.
It reminds me a lot of our past, because you were really the first one to introduce me to Simon and Garfunkel. In fact, as I'm listening to my Best of Simon and Garfunkel CD at this very moment, I remember that I burned it off of your copy years ago.
As for the future, I can totally see us sitting on a bench in Rec Park when we're seventy, bonding. The sentiment "How terribly strange to be seventy," also strikes a chord for me, since I just turned twenty-one. That's a long way from seventy, but it still feels strange and new to me right now, like I'm kind of old. As we grow older, I think our friendship has only grown stronger, and I hope you would agree.
Okay, so for my question (sorry for all the babbling, but hey, that's what blogs are for, right?), I'd like to ask: If you could pick a song that reminds you the most of our friendship, what would it be? Why?
I'm looking forward to hearing your response, and hope that you liked my first post. This should be fun and interesting.

It took some thinking, but I got it. It's "Don't Panic" by Coldplay. It was hard not to choose "Sound of Silence" or "Great Escape" ... just because I tend to associate those songs with driving down Main Street on a Saturday night sing them at the tops of our lungs... but meaning wise, I'm going with "Don't Panic"
Here are thee lyrics:
Oh, we're sinking like stones,
All that we fought for.
All those places we've gone,
All of us are done for.
We live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.
Oh, we're sinking like stones,
All that we fought for.
All those places we've gone,
All of us are done for.
We live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.
Oh, all that I know,
There's nothing here to run from,
And there, everybody here's got somebody to lean on.
It reminds me of us because we are both constantly toiling over the meaning of life and our place in it, but in the end we'll always have eachother to lean on, and that m'dear, is life and what makes it worth while! You always point out the beauty in life, and I'm very thankful to have you as a friend :)

btw,
I'm gonna be up late tonight doing blog stuff :) :) so I will post a Q for you and get us up on Technorati!!
Aw, I love that song, Lyd. Good choice! It's like no matter how hard we search for the meaning of life or whatever we're looking for at the moment, we'll always have each other. Whether we're searching together (remember the Quakers?) or separately, we'll always find each other at the end and say, "Whoa. You will not believe the crazy day I had. I've been thinking a lot about..."
I think that song is great cuz it also really encapsulates the spirit of this blog I think. :)
