It reads me like a book...
I love Launchcast (and I have no affiliation with them, so this is not a plug) except for the fact that it's so temperamental. Should I worry that I feel all warm and fuzzy because a bunch of algorithms can guess my music preferences? Confession: I'm a sucker for people who can read me like a book. You know what's funny? When you live your life like an open book, people constantly try to read between the lines! So I find it refreshing when someone just knows me, like they say something so right on, I get goosebumps. Too bad it's only ever happened once or twice in my life, and I won't even count some of the times, because that speaker's comments were just throwaway, no thought behind them. Anyhow, back to Launchcast - it just knows me so well! It played Evanescence's My Immortal today, a song I've ignored countless times on MTV, but apparently, fits my tastes. I decided to give it a whirl - and I loved it! Every word, every lyric, just resonated with me. I know exactly how it is, when you're haunted by a pain you can't quite put your finger on, when you're so angry and crushed, you have no words, only sorrow...Aaah, Launchcast, you know me so well...
Final thought: From My Immortal, Evanescence
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
