"Wicked Game" or some shit like that.............

Hey kids, it's been a while. I was pretty surprised when I actually remembered the login and password for my blog. Honestly, I had a big post about music earlier. I was going to talk about how the formulaic approach is killing music today, how you need to find the voice that speaks to you, how artists like Dylan would never have been heard if they would have had to make it through 10 rounds of judging. But then I thought, shut the fuck up you pompous jackass!  Yes, I've been drinking. Yes, I'm a little depressed, and yes, that usually means I've looked up every artist that's ever recorded the song "Wicked Game". What I need you to do now, is to type that song title into whatever music search engine you prefer and find the voice that speaks to you. For me it's Lana Del Rey, really, look it up, it'll give you fucking goosebumps on top of goosebumps. And yes, if you're a little drunk, and a little depressed, you may want to put a bullet in your temple, but don't worry, I probably won't. But I now understand why so many men my age do. But that's a post for another day. I'm talking about music today, or am I? Hard to say, been drinking for quite some time. You know who else has a pretty spectacular version of "Wicked Game"? Pink, I don't think it's ever been published, but not surprising, her voice is pretty incredible. Then there's the countless metal versions, and yes they kick ass! "Him" I think they're Swedish, is one of the more kick ass versions. But I have to admit, my absolute favorite, or for you Canadians, favourite, is still the original. The Chris Isaac version, the classic. I don't know what it is about it. Helena Christensen in men's underpants. Or if it was the girl that I was with when the song came out. It really fit where I was in my life at that time. Maybe that's why a certain song sticks with you, why it hits you that deep. I won't ever admit it but I tear up every time I hear it. I'm not sure if it's where I was, who I was with, or the fact that I never did live up to what I thought I'd be by now. Oh well, time to fix spelling errors and grab another beer, or two, or three, or whatever. Later Freaks.
