Musik Mundi: Band of Horses

There's a Ford car commercial that played a few months ago. It's a group of friends driving somewhere at night. There's a girl sitting in the backseat and she's in the middle between two people. Is that redundant? Is it assumed that she's already between two people when I describe her as being in the middle. Seriously. I've been in a verbal and grammatical funk as of late. I've been in a grammatical funk since I was born, but verbal? Not as funky. I can't seem to put together sentences anymore without first having to furrow thine bushy brows. And as for the use of the word assume, I used to always go 'ass-you-and-me' instead of simply saying assume. I can't remember where or what or who I got that from. Enlighten me please if you know! See how easily distracted I get? You should see the irritation on the bf's face when he's trying to tell me a story and I suddenly see something that catches thine eyes that I must comment about RIGHT NOW even it means instant interruption. Irritable he gets! I attribute it to the fact that my memory is WHACK and I feel that I must say what I want to say now before I forget about what it was that I wanted to say then. Got all that? Now back to you car commercial. So the girl that is in the backseat in the middle. Between two people. She has a really cute haircut by the way. The sun/moon roof to the car is open. And she looks up and stares at the stars in the sky. And she becomes entranced and in her own world. So much so that even after they arrive at their location and everyone gets out of the car, she is still sitting there staring. And whilst all of this is taking place, there's this equally entrancing song that is being played in the background. I love it! Every time it came on, I became just as entranced as the girl in the backseat in the middle between two people was. I figured it was a short piece that was written specifically for that commercial and didn't bother trying to look up any info on it. Until last night. Because I heard it again. It was used for the preview of the next CSI episode. Now I knew that it was a real song indeedy!

The song is by an AMERICAN rock indie band called Band of Horses. Gotta love that they're from here! And they were originally from Seattle! My favorite part of the song is the beginning where all you hear is the simple plucking of a guitar, one string at a time, and then the singer goes 'ooooh oooooooh, oooooooh, ooooooh'. Man it's great stuff!! I wish that they would sit next to my bed at night and repeat that part over and over again until I fell asleep.
