Of Monsters and Men
I must say I am completely fascinated with this song.
A little incite on the song, it's about a couple growing old and the woman developingAlzheimer's.
When I was growing up my grandfather used to pick me up from school every Thursday to go mow his mothers, my great grandmothers, lawn. She had severe Alzheimer's, and at the young age I really didn't comprehend what the disease was. He would drop me off and go run errands for her, and if I finished early I would spend an hour or so talking with her. She would share stories of her childhood, raising her children, just generally a simpler time with me. I don't know what was real and what not but I will always cherish the memories of then. She remembered my name, but not anybody elses, and that always stuck in my head. She forgot her own son's name, or who he even was sometimes, but she remembered mine. When she passed we traveled to her home town in Tennessee and I got to meet family I never knew I had. Even though she was a very old senile woman, I will never forget the time I spent with her.
Watch out guys.

Re: Of Monsters and Men
I personally listen to alot of different music. I stopped listening to hardcore music and such because I just didn't want to be angry anymore. I've been enjoying music like this and classical just because it relaxes me. When I pulled up to work today I was listening to Mozart or Beethoven, don't remember which, and my co-workers pulled up next to me and started laughing cause I was just sitting in my car smoking a cigarette relaxing to some classical before my shift started. it was quite humorous.

Watch out guys.

Them Big Lots workers laughing at you
OT: I like this song..... Reminds of my great grandfather who had alzheimers.... Just like your grandma only remembered you, he only remembered me. In the last hour before he died, he altered his will, where before he had named the state as the decider of whom got what of his, he named me as the one who would decide who got what. As I was only eight at the time, they have to wait til I'm eighteen..... Fucking damnit Johnson, now I'm sad....

Spoiler:Johnson is gay. <3
