i reach for stars, planets, black space, anything that is unreachable when the music is off. For as long as i can remember, it has connected me to something where flesh ends and whatever animates the flesh begins.
Soul? Life force? Spirit?
i am not drunk, nor high, although it might sound it. Instead, i am trying to share why the opening chords to "How Soon Is Now" make me feel as though a good friend suddenly came by, why i can't help but dance to "Just Like Heaven," why The Descendents force me to pump my fits like a teenager, why Cat Stevens was one of my best friends at the age of 7.
This week's Grocery Store Song is "Stay" by Lisa Loeb. From what i hear, she is rather talented, but unfortunately the masses remember her for this sweet, cutesy number that was most likely helped along the charts by appearing in "Reality Bites." It is a very good song, especially the guitar work, which is not easy....i've tried. While a bit pretentious, the video tried to stand out by using minimal edits. Perfect for running your fingers over stacks of bread as you dance down the aisle.

Love the post and all the songs you listed! And is it terrible I remember Lisa Loeb for not just that song but her glasses?
Interestingly enough, she has a line of eyeglasses frames in addition to her music, so you're not the only one!
