What is Your Favorite Song by LaMonte
It was 5:00am in the morning and my eyes could barely focus on the screen. I had just finished feeding my 10 month old daughter, Tyne, and laid her back down to sleep. But, I decided to break my routine and not go back to bed. I instead, decided to work on a few things while I had some quite time - other than the sporadic flow of cars zooming bye. Before I get in my zone, I must hit up my music library. So, at random, I selected an album. As luck would have it, I selected my favorite band, Radiohead. I feel in love with this group with the release of their album, OK Computer, which I believe is one of the best albums of ALL time.
My media player kicks in and blasting in my ear is 15 Step, from their latest album release, In Rainbows. I immediately start to sing, unknowingly, too loud. My wife comes down stairs to see what’s going on. She begins to laugh. It must have been my outfit – a green one piece pajama outfit – and the off key pitch in my voice as I attempt to sound like Thom York. As if that were even a possibility, but I try nevertheless. Kuri reminds me to lower my voice so I don’t wake the baby. Good call on her part. I wasn’t aware of how loud I was due to the headphones. We’ve all been there before, belting out tunes, oblivious of our surroundings and volume of singing.
She returns to bed and I continue to sing along with every song, in a much softer voice. I’m in a zone now baby, as Weird Fishes gets my head to bouncing as if I were in a bumpy car ride. I zoom through my action items list, loving the moment I am in.
Back to the purpose of this blog entry; the team and I are suppose to journal our favorite current song. Well, I don’t have a favorite current song, but I do have a favorite current band, Radiohead. They are simply amazing and with every album release, they seem to blow me totally away.
I have a question(s) for all of you who are reading this blog: What is your favorite Radiohead song? Where were you when you first heard it and why is that particular song your favorite? If you are not a fan of Radiohead, I strongly recommend you hop on the bandwagon. All pun intended. Should you know of someone who is a fan, please send them this blog entry, as I’d love to hear what they think.
Rock On…
