Music You'd Better Listen To RSS

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

Sam Cooke - Nothing Can Change This Love

Website / Myspace / iTunes

—-

So the first rule of a good mixtape is that you never put two tracks by the same person on the tape. And yeah, sometimes it’s broken, but only once you know the rules.

What’s even *more* forbidden is when these two tracks are back to back. So you can understand that it was only with great hesitance that I chose today’s song for you: another Sam Cooke track.

It jumped out at me yesterday while riding the bus; a song I had noticed before for its excellent lyrics and soft, deliberate arrangement. But I had never understood the versatility the track had. It was a beautiful piece for a bus ride across this new city, and its beauty and message only grew with some news I got last night.

My own personal stories are neither here nor there; if you’re interested, just ask.

In the meantime, appreciate this song, and everything it needs to mean for you at the moment. I know I am.
