For those of you who are far more musically inclined than I, you may have recognized the title of my blog right away. It's a line from "I Found A Reason," originally by The Velvet Underground and later covered by Cat Power. And I love it.
I'm not really a music person. I like music, I listen to it all the time, but I am the music equivalent of "I may not know art, but I know what I like." I don't research or seek out the newest hottest bands and want to know about them before you so by the time you like them I can go "OH them? I liked them but their sound has really changed, they're soooo mainstream now." Probably because I know too many people who do that. But Ben likes music, and has far better taste than I do (but that's a subject for a whole different post). So when we started thinking about our ceremony music, and I was at complete loose ends about what I'd walk in to, Ben said, "I always thought I Found a Reason (by Cat Power) was the perfect song." Ladies and gents, boy was he right. Listen to this:
So as perfect as that song is, it took me a long while to put together the fact that it is from an album called Covers is because it is a cover of another song. And I love that as well. Maybe more, or like my mom claims when I claim she love's my sister more, maybe "Just differently." Anywho, now I want to dance to that as our first dance. Too much? Just sweet enough?
