Day 6: A song by your favourite band
Throwing Muses - The Visit
I have no idea why Throwing Muses are my favourite band. I’ve never really thought about it. They always just felt so natural in that position that I never felt a need to analyse why. Would you ever really need to? Surely knowing that something “is” can be enough to know that it’s true? Obviously that wouldn’t fly in the science world, but this is art and I think truth there is much more objective and much more easier to identify.
This song is probably my favourite song by them. It’s currently my most played track from them in iTunes. It’s odd that it is, because I wouldn’t call it at all representative of their work overall. But your favourite track by a band isn’t supposed to be representative of their work, it’s supposed to be representative of why you like them, and if you listen to this, I think it’s fairly clear why it is my favourite. Today, at any rate.
