It must have been ages ago since I visited my music files as I got into the mood of arranging the playlists on my mp3 player. And so I came across the jazz folder that I rarely listen to. I was never really much into jazz until my good friend rubbed it on me some years ago. Before that, I was just into those pop music. Well, at least now, I get to appreciate more types of music.
Going back to the jazz folder, there is this song that I really, really love but I must have forgotten all about it. I played it yesterday and I was reminded that it was a damaged file as there is that portion somewhere that seemed to fast forward a bit. Such a pity. So what does one do about that?
There are things in life that one will consider precious, like gems. Much like when we find a truly good friend right? Or probably the One, the missing half that makes the whole. And this song, I consider as such more so because it is the only song in that whole album that I came to love. Knowing me when it comes to music, you simply don't let go of great songs...so I managed to get a good copy of the song. Alright!
What I do love about this song is the cool, relaxed melody. That always gets to me before I even hear the lyrics. The wordings, well, it does have a romantic streak in it, the good old love song of some 15 years ago. So what was I doing that time? I'll give in to a little nostalgia here while I (and maybe you also, if you will oblige) listen again to this song. It's Mark Portmann's "Come As You Are" performed by Bill Champlin from the album No Truer Words.
