Do you ever get one of those days where you hear a song and for the life of you can't name it's title or Artist? Well I had one of them days yesterday. I had been humming a tune all day (as I didn't know the words) yet by the time I got home it was forgotten about (figures) that is until I was watching my ususal dose of 'Scrubs' when the song playing in the background had caught my attention. I listened for a while and recognised it was the tune I'd been humming but couldn't place it.
Now I don't know if any of you fine people out there do this but if I can't figure out the artist or title I can't think about anything else until I do. It's an impossibilty, it's drives me insane. I suppose I could cheat and check on the internet but that takes away the fun and the pleasure of when you finally do remember.
After half an hour I pushed it to the back of my mind as I had to go and pick the 'child' up from nursery (an yes I remembered this time ha bloody ha) I grabbed my Ipod Shuffle and off I went. Listening to my music walking down the street minding my own business as you do, this bloody song suddenly vibrated in my ears, it was on my Ipod! The thing is with The Ipod Shuffle's you can't scroll down to see what song it is so it again had me stratching my head but alas to no avail. The only line that I could remember was "when the stars turn blue" and I made a mental note to myself that I would have to check the web cause at this point it was really annoying me. No such luck! My internet connection had decided to play up, sod's law I'm telling you!
Now if I had the common sense most folk had, then I would've had the nouse to think on that I didn't need the internet to check my Ipod play list. It just automatically comes up when I plug it into the USB Port, this little gem of an idea didn't register until I realised it needed charging. There I was 7am this morning playing through the first 10 seconds of each song to name the annoying song I had been humming the previous day and finally 3rd to last song (I have 278 songs on my Ipod Shuffle in total) it make's it's self known as wait for it ... "When the stars turn Blue" (yeah I think I got that) by Ryan Adams."
I couldn't believe it, this Guy is amazing and I have the vast majority of his albums and I didn't realise this was one of his songs (shame on me) so with that I suddenly felt a weight being lifted off my shoulders because as silly as this sounds not being able to name a song or artist is a pet peeve of mine. It's like I get posessed or something until I find my answer, sad state of affairs really but hey such is life.
