Song of the Day

     Oh hey, Say Anything just tied A Day To Remember on the song of the day tally.  Definitely one of my favorite Say Anything songs ever.  Shiksa (Girlfriend) is a song that will always be one of the best I've ever heard.  For fuck's sake, I have the word Shiksa written out on my backpack (well...it actually says Shiska but that's besides the point, that's a story for another time).  Not just a sappy love song full of staring deeply into each other's eyes.  It's raw, it's a truthful song about passion.  I remember it vividly love, I've been walking erect since the moment we met. This song has history with me and I love it all that much more for it.  When the album In Defense of the Genre came out, I listened to it constantly, but this was always the song that stood out to me.  I may not listen to it all the time, sometimes it's simply because it sparks so many memories and it's actually kind of intense for me, but I will always consider it to be 3 and a half minutes of pure unadulterated awesome.  It might be difficult some days, but I will forever be grateful for the fact that I have led a life where songs like this can not only amaze me in the sense that they're amazing songs, but the simple fact that it conjures up a million memories of the past, it just enhances it so much more.  It's one of those songs that make me smile and remember times past, but then also make me hopeful for the future.  Music can be more about just a simple combination of words and instruments, they can be a swirl of emotions tied together to create the best feeling in the world.  I also love the music video for this, so damn funny and cute.  I completely agree with what it displays as well, sometimes you can be leading the most awkward and nervous persona in the world, a simple kiss can change everything.  Call me sappy or weird, whatever, I know how strong emotions a kiss with the right person can create.  It's something I long for every day when I don't have it.  This is my type of love song.
