Cory's Song for the Decade
This wasn't as difficult a decision as I thought it would be. I'm pretty resolved about this. THE SONG that was love at first listen, I've listened to obsessively, tries to pry its way into most of the playlists I create, and inspired me to search for more music by the artists that perform it and of the genre. When considering the songs I've discovered in the past 10 years (I'll leave the debate on what year-span is a "decade" - 00-09 vs 01-10 - for another post)...THE SONG for me is...
Zero 7 - "Destiny"
I've accumulated the Zero 7 discography and have acquired music by the artists that have performed with the group (Sia, Jose Gonzales). My love for acid jazz and chill was re-ignited after many years of hibernation. Hell, even a guy such as myself that NEVER pays attention to lyrics has taken the time to read over them and actually know the words! Oh, and the video is a beautiful match to the song.
I lie awake
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite
The journey's long
And it feels so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

Song of the decade?!? Man, that's going to be work to figure out!
