Case of the Blues
21st July 10 — 00:34

I know I've already written three blogs today—one of which didn't actually get published—but I've wanted to write this one for a while now. I alluded to it recently, in fact. Remember in this entry a music-related epiphany I had, but couldn't elaborate upon? Well I finally dragged the song off my iPod so I can explain it at long last.

I remember once asking Sam (the roomie), "If you had to listen to one song on repeat for the rest of your life, what would it be?" I've no idea what he said. I didn't really care. I only asked because I wanted him to ask me what my choice would be. My choice was Little Richard covering Johnny Cash's Get Rhythm.

The recent revelation, while walking past stranded seniors, was that this song might actually be my favourite of all time. Somehow it subconsciously rose through the ranks and now I can listen to it over and over happily. It always makes me smile and it always makes me want to sing along.

I encourage you to listen to it.

If you can't play the song, or can't see the player, you can listen to it here.
