Fact about Fiction

“The fact about fiction is that it’s always in your head.”

A standout lyric from “Three Thousand Miles” by Valencia.

I’ve always thought it was a great expression that fits regarding the personal narrative people attach to songs and lyrics. I recently read a tweet (that I’ll paraphrase) that also really expresses this as well, “Just saw Jimmy Eat World perform ‘Work‘ to a small theatre, and everyone was singing alone. Crazy, each person was remembering a different story.” [I’m not sure what the band/song were.]

I’d like to start off this music blog endeavor with my favorite Valencia song, “Better Be Prepared.” Opening an album about finding inspiration in difficult times with an optimistic and forward looking outlook with a great hook, this song continues to stay catchy after the initial grab.

I’m looking forward to posting a song per day for my friends that have told me I should do this in the past.

Enjoy!

Mark
