Hide and Seek

Zach bought us the 5th "Music from the O.C." CD. We really liked the first one, so he thought this would be a good purchase. So far I like it, although the Kaiser Chiefs' song they put on there is not one of their best--it's one I habitually skip over when I listen to that album. My favorite song from this OC album has to be Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek"! It's a haunting electronica ballad that sounds nearly a cappella; I guess the best word to describe it is "bittersweet". It makes me think of happy memories that were at the time just happy, but when you look back you can't see the happy memories without them being slightly tarnished by the sad things that happened later....Like remembering fun times with people whom I've lost touch with, or my lovable, charismatic friend Kerry who killed himself. As with all new songs I become obsessed with, I've listened to it at least 5 times in a row now. And now I'm so depressed! But I highly recommend "Hide and Seek"-induced depression.

P.S.--The pasta was found (tupperware still intact) upside-down under the entertainment center. Apparently there was some dog involvement. Never assume those crafty little buggers are innocent.
