Ultimately, music is about relationships. Starting as the relationship between muse and artist, it is cast into the world. Once in the world, it spreads itself wantonly, forming relationships with thousands of listeners (if you are lucky, you are one), however, the relationship building is not over! If you are lucky... or extremely unlucky... the song forms a relationship with your memory banks and every time you hear it or are reminded of it, the relationship brings you, willingly or unwillingly, back to... well... someone.

In my first post (or awesomeness), I want to devote space to some songs I love that represents relationships I had/ve (since it's a present thing... memory makes everything present). In no way representative of every important relationship, it tracks relationships with people harder to forget than myself when young and (more) beautiful.

In an effort to spare you any emo-esque remembrances, I'll leave off the story and make due with the music. ... unless you wanna know... but you'll have to ask.

For your ears:
(Anthony Alford) Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians: Little Miss S.
(Brentley Stone) Tori Amos: Space Dog
(Hope Bates) Chopin: Nocturne in E-Flat Major
(Clint Spires) Laura Nyro: Tom Cat Goodbye
(Kevin McCrae) Madonna: La Isla Bonita
support these artists by buying their music

For your eyes:
Audra McDonald takes on "Tom Cat Goodbye" by Laura Nyro. Nearly faithful, I am astounded by her gorgeous voice.
