When beauty becomes disaster

When exactly would beauty become a disaster? Interesting question. I’m a guy so let’s relate this to males (women, you’ll need to insert your prefs as needed). Who’s a hottie? Let’s pick Jennifer Connelly, Keira Knightley, or maybe Scarlett Johansson. I’m sure there are more I could rattle off, but that’s a good cross section right? Ladies – add your men. Ok. Now I find those three attractive. However, I have no real idea what they’d be like in person, behind closed doors. If I’m any indication, they’re human (duh). Forget the human factor for a moment and stick with the fantasy. Ah, fantasies, they’re great right? In my mind it would likely be some sort of ideal relationship between any one of these women. That’s the beauty.

Next step, meeting in person. Through some bizarre twist of fate I’m thrust into a situation where I’m meeting one of those women. By blind luck she’s single and I’ve man enough to ask her out. Woo hoo. Now the fun begins. I find out that the true person behind the fame isn’t the same. Uh oh. Now I find out that maybe said beauty is a nightmare in person. Suddenly I’m associated with her in the tabloids and voilá, I’m now experiencing what others would assume is pure bliss but the reality is a total mess. Hmmm… Ok, that didn’t really work as I intended. Oh well. I’m really happy you’re still reading this far after that silly connection in my mind.

Ooooooooh, wait. I got it! I’m an American Nobody. See that fantasy works if you’re a nobody meeting a somebody. Right? Ah. Actually I’m not an American Nobody. Chances are you aren’t either. However, today’s song is by a band called American Nobody and chances are, they are American Nobodys who are actually somebodys. Ha ha.

Time for a moment of serious. Why did I choose this song? Pure and simple. I liked a particular effect buried in there with the guitar. That’s what drew me in in the first place. Once I got in there, I had to keep cruising. That’s the sign of an effective song. Not a whole lot of fantasy involved in that eh? I actually like the mellow vibe of the vocal. I would probably like a bit more production on the vocals to fit more of the vibes being done on the guitars. But that’s a minor thing. I can look past it. The low melodies in the spots are cool. I’m left wanting more of that. Simple solution, keep rewinding to it. That’s also a sign of something good in a song.

See good things come in beautiful packages. Even if they are potential disasters. Go make your disaster beautiful with this as the soundtrack (buy it of course).
