Who knew?
I've been on a definite pop music kick as of late (which simultaneously makes me feel bad about myself and guilty for feeling bad about it... screw the definitions of "good" music). But tonight has brought a pleasant surprise!
So, I randomly got a Michelle Branch song ("Something to Sleep To") in my head this evening. I decided to indulge myself and listen to it on my iPod... and discovered something amazing about this song. The first few seconds contain this really quiet (made to sound far away or faded or whatever) orchestral something or other. As I haven't listened to this album since before college, I never realized until just now that it's no something or other: it's part of Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun.
...Debussy. Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. The composer who is sometimes the sole reason I don't give up this whole music thing, and my favorite symphonic work of all time. Um. Amazing?!
I'm a huge loser. Now this post looks all OMG MICHELLE BRANCH IS THE GREATEST EVAR. But whatever. I'm excited!
In my mind, everything we did was right...
