music that makes you fall
what is it about a man with a husky, resonant voice, especially a tall dark handsome man with a guitar?
cynthia dragged me along to a gig where a friend of her boyfriend's was playing. someone from back home who, funnily enough, i never came across. and halfway through the night, when guitarboy took to the stage, i, like many girls before me i am sure, melted the moment he struck the first chord on his guitar.
reality kicked in after my good friend google told me a few things about this guy, including the amount of women who, like me, are enveloped in this cloud of longing. i think it's his voice. and if your introduction to this guy is the whole package, i guess you can't help but be slightly mesmerised. i won't say he has chutzpah, but there's something there, something about him that lets a thought like 'what would it be like to kiss him' flash through my cynical mind.
trying to keep perspective, i sent his track to im guy who helpfully pointed out the man lives across a wide ocean and we had but a fleeting moment. i guess he's right. besides a few embarrassing episodes where i clumsily interrupted him in conversation with other people, i barely spoke ten words to the guy. incidentally i'm annoyed at im guy - i give him so much support and he gives me a reality check?
inspired by that reality check on my stupid crush on someone who doesn't feel the same way, i sent my college boyfriend, who's also a musician, to this guy's webpage. college boyfriend proclaimed that the new object of my affection makes simple songs. apparently that's why it's so nice to listen to. you don't have to think. who wants to think with music? i don't even think with mahler or shostakovitch. no, i lie. i think about the construct of the music, the harmonies, and what tones create what types of feelings. but that's what i've been trying to figure out about guitarboy's music. why it moves me when i knew nothing about him until he walked on that stage.
i guess when you combine a bedroom voice that's infused with this raw earthy edge with someone who looks like berger from sex and the city, add a lot of very masculine presence, you have someone women blog over.
cynthia has a lot to answer for.
