Never say never. It's a saying we all hear and we all have grown accustomed to. It's become so much a part of our vocabulary that we don't really pay attention to how true it actually is.
I have been listening to a lot of Tristan Prettyman's music. Don't know if many people know who she is, but she is one amazing singer. Very under the radar but I am actually so happy I came across her music - and in the best way possible too. At a Script concert a couple of years ago, she was the opening act. I was instantly hooked. It was one of those times where I wish I could re-live - as corny as that may be, especially considering it was just a concert. But we all know how much I love live music. But I'm telling you, listening to someone sing live, listening to them pour their heart out in a song - I just say, if it captures you then you know they feel like they've done their job. Ultimately, that is a musician's one and only goal - to reach you. Boy did she ever.
This isn't the only song that hit me - in fact I'm pretty sure it was another song called "I Was Gonna Marry You" (which happens to be about singer Jason Mraz, look into that story...it's interesting). But, I feel, for how many times I've been playing this particular song on repeat, I felt it was necessary to post it as a Music Monday edition. And then, I realized how could I not post Say Anything. So today's Music Monday is a double feature. The lyrics in this song are perfect. For anyone who has had a hard break up, for anyone who felt like there was little hope left, this song is for you.
Take a listen and I hope you like it!
