I'm glad I didn't die before I met you

So after Katelyn asked for singing advice on her blog I told her to listen to Bright Eyes. It took some time for me to really get into Conor Oberst's vocals(More like i tried to listen to a few 30 second clips that didn't do him justice) but then one day I heard Road to Joy and it just clicked, especially "I could have been a famous singer/if i had someone else's voice/but failure's always sounded better". I t made me realize that Even if lots of people think my voice sucks I bet I could find at least a hand full of people who would enjoy it, and that made me really happy as a singer. I think if you've got a good message then anything's possible. and what better message than love? This song and video are a testament to love and it's idiosyncrasies. Everything about it makes me smile. Love and music...what more could you ask for?

p.s. this song is not Road to Joy the one I mentioned in the post. It's First day of my Life. Just wanted to make that clear
