a song addiction

exag!!! i too can't get enough of "closer to you" by the wallflowers.

i've had it on repeat this morning while i was sewing--the first song today--and that was the last song i heard last night, which i placed on repeat again for like half an hour... and the night before... and the night before... (not to mention the days before!)

i heard it the second time around last saturday at raymond/jomar/bibbo's party at ankies. i didn't know whose ipod it was, and i remember that when this song played, i got goosebumps and i started singing "to yooooouuuuu..." along with the others. it was awfully familiar but no one knew the song. i asked jess and she said it was by the wallflowers.

then flashback, at the time i fetched or dropped off anne a few months back. she plugged her ipod into my fm transmittor in the car and she told me to listen to "the sexiest song ever."

the first time i heard it, it was a pretty good song but i didn't think much of it. the second time, it just... blew me away. anne laughed when i texted her that. i told her i couldn't come up with another term on how it made me feel. of course, maybe the tipsiness helped a bit.

the song is like a gentle whisper to your ear while you're lying in bed, missing or thinking about someone. you want to just hold on to it, to capture it and make it real but all you could do is let it wash over you and listen to it over and over again until you sleep.

that's the best way i could describe what that song evokes.
