New Music
By Chris Marsden • Dec 28th, 2006 • Category: Life, MusicI think one of the things missing in my life is music. Music used to be such a HUGE part of who I was and it has kind of slipped away over the last year. I got U2 by U2 for Christmas this year. I am still at the skimming through the pictures stage and have only read a little, but something that caught me was a comment by one of the guys in the intro pages.
He said that while they lacked in musical skill sometimes, one of the things that made them who they were was a natural connection between each other, musically. One of the things that I miss most about playing with Claymyre is not our incredible musical giftedness, but that natural connection. We play well together.
One of my resolutions for this year is going to be to constantly have a soundtrack to my life. For too long I have let music become something I like instead of something that is a part of me. An iPod for my birthday (hint hint) is going to be a part of making this happen.
Oh…and the reason I started writing this post…new music. Got Dusk and Summer by Dashboard Confessional and B Collision by David Crowder. It is still 2006, but a great start to building a soundtrack for 2007.

i love your way of describing that…something I like rather than something that is part of me. I heard live acoustic music this year and it reminded me of when I occasionally lived inside music, when I was playing years ago. May you find delight and consolation and encouragement and wonder in music this year.
