Music Monday: Well Soon Favorites
Post Graduation Oblivion and Holy Cannoli by Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra
I am always taken aback by WMAHMO's ability to encapsulate the experiences I am having at different stages of my life. Well Soon is no exception (listen to the full album here). Each song contains poignant lyrics about what it is like to be a recent college graduate. Particular songs are eerily accurate descriptions of my life over the past 15 months. Post Graduation Oblivion captures how lost and confused I feel in this transitory state. I never know where I will be in six months or what I will be doing. Am I wasting precious years of my life with indecision? Or am I just blessed to have a life that could go in any direction?
I find myself reciting theses lines when I am feeling panicked:
Holy Cannoli almost perfectly describes my most recent relationship. Listening to this song invokes mixed emotions. WMAHMO describe a relationship that is slowly deteriorating despite the initial undefinable connection. There is no animosity towards one another in the end, just a recognition that it is time to move on. WMAHMO capture the bittersweet feeling of watching someone you love slip away from you and fall into someone else's arms.

I find myself reciting theses lines when I am feeling panicked:
- "I lied about my major to a stranger on the bus. I am pretty sure I am aging poorly and I surely peaked too early"
- "I've never felt so uncertain of anything in my life. All panic aside, I actually kind of like it"
- "I've got this funny feeling we'll be fine"

Well done, WMAHMO! Now post your tour dates!
