Rediscovering

I found a CD I forgot I had the other day. That wouldn't be so weird if the CD itself hadn't been still sealed, in the plastic wrapping, sitting in the CD holder on my desk. I have no recollection of buying this CD, or receiving it as a gift. What was the CD? Three Days Grace's "One X." I don't have any clue where it came from. I hate forgetting stuff like that.

Finding the CD made me think about the music that I used to like, still like, but forgot I liked. So I'm going to share some music that I completely forgot about, up until now.

First up is a track off of the CD that I found. The song is "Never Too Late." It had a good deal of radio play, so I guess I stopped listening to it because it was verging on that "overplayed" category for me. I hate when songs become overplayed, and try to avoid them if they're getting close.

I used to listen to the band Yellowcard a lot a few years ago. One of my favorite songs was "Shadows and Regrets." I learned how to play it on the guitar once, but it's been so long that I've forgotten.

I used to listen to Dashboard Confessional when I was in high school. I used to listen to the "Dusk and Summer" CD a lot...like, all the time. I guess I stopped listening to it when it started getting annoying-his voice was a tad high pitched and whiney.

I listened to Jewel when I was in high school. The "Pieces of You" album was pretty good. My favorite song from the album, and probably the saddest:

I used to listen to Tom Petty. My dad had the Greatest Hits album.


There are more bands that I've rediscovered, but these are the ones I've been listening to lately. I have a tendency to listen to bands until I can hardly stand them, put them away for a few years, then find them again. It's a pattern, I think. It's nice, though, finding things that you didn't remember you liked. I wish I had a metaphor to describe it, but I'm lacking at the moment. I'm going to start rifling through my collection more often.
