feel good friday: we are born with a melody

happy friday!

finally, it feels like it's been forever since i posted a feel good friday blog, but, alas, it was really only just seven days ago!

this week's feel good tune is by a band that i happened across 5 years ago accidentally during my first college radio show.

(little background history for ya- in high school i was REALLY into our radio/tv station, and loved it so i majored in broadcast media in college. at our high school station you didn't need to bring your own music with you because we had a whole library full of cds and albums, sigh, remember those? anywho, at the college station, it was necessary to bring your own music, except, no one told me, so i didn't.)

but, on the bright side, this was how i found and then fell inlove with a band called "steel train."

you see, there was a library full of cds and albums at my college's radio station, but, they were mostly promotional cds that only had three songs on them, and most of them were bands no one had ever heard of.

so, i started perusing the shelves looking for albums that had appealing covers in hopes that their music matched their album cover. (i know, its a strange statement, but it makes sense to me ok? ;] ) steel train's twilight tales from the prairies of the sun caught my eye and it was love at first song. i pretty much played their entire album that show and from then on it became a staple on the show. i would always play "better love" right before closing my three hour shift.

so, that's how i fell inlove with steel train. and i've been lucky enough to see them open for some of my favorite bands! they opened for hanson and tegan and sara (in the same year, how awesome!) since then i've seen them a few times, and i'm fortunate enough to see them tonight! eeek so very stoked!

speaking of which, i gotta get ready, so i'll spill this week's feel good tune :]

it's steel train's "children in the 90's (i'm not the same)"

my fave lyrics are:

we are born with a melody,

we were children in the 90's

we're gonna hear it again tonight

i want to hear it again tonight

we're gonna take it all back tonight

this song is another one of those songs that is just perfect to turn up real loud and rock out to.

hope you enjoy!
