Music Madness

Yesterday I gave in to the ease of iTunes (angel and devil in one package, I swear) and downloaded KT Tunstalls Eye to the Telescope album. Man… what a good album. I’d had her on my radar for the past few months after hearding Suddenly I See and Heal Over (as well as Black Horse) on radioioEclectic (again, iTunes, iZombie). Literally I keep a list on my desk of songs and artists that I hear on the iRadio (which has the lovely feature of showing such useful information) and she was on it a few times.

Anyway, another gem discovered post-download was Miniature Disasters. Not only does it have an infectious rythym structure the lyrics could be my anthem:

I don’t want to be second best
Don’t want to stand in line
Don’t want to fall behind
Don’t want to get caught out
Don’t want to do without
And the lesson I must learn
Is that I’ve got to wait my turn

Looks like I got to be hot and cold
I got to be taught and told
Got to be good as gold
But perfectly honest
I think it would be good for me
Coz it’s a hindrance to my health
I’m a stranger to myself

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be the death of me

I don’t have to raise my voice
Don’t have to be underhand
Just got to understand
That it’s gonna be up and down
It’s gonna be lost and found
And I can’t take to the sky
Before I like it on the ground

And i need to be patient
And i need to be brave
Need to discover
How i need to behave
And I’ll find out the answers
When i know what to ask
But i speak a different language
And everybody’s talking too fast

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees

Well I must be my own master
or a miniature disaster will be
I’ve got to run a little faster
Or a miniature disaster will be
Well I need to know I’ll last if a little
Miniature disaster hits me
It could be the death of me
