Michael was playing this song at spin the other night. LOVE IT! It's a Romanian group, O-Zone, who have since broken up, but their stuff is on iTunes. Seeing it reminds me of Valentin, who lived in SF for awhile but had to return to Romania. He hopes to return to SF. I hope he does.

It's like your own personal streaming radio station (without commercials!) You plug in the name of a band or a song and then you get song after song of similar music. I have a Green Day station, which plays Green Day and also a lot of other bands who have a similar sound. LOVE IT! Plus, you can link to iTunes to buy a song. I was already addicted to iTunes.
My second station started with "Speed of Sound" and it's a more mellow station--power ballads. Man, I could sit up all night and play with this! But no, a RACE tomorrow, so it's off to bed.
"Breakaway"
Kelly Clarkson
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around wild indoors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
Steve Jobs is the MAN!!! I love the new iShuffle!! It's perfect for the gym or for running. And, for the bus. Plus, it just slides right into your jeans pocket. The only thing I would add is a little case made from wetsuit material so it doesn't get sweaty. Yeah, yeah, I know there is a case available, but it's not what I want.
Today's Shuffle list from the "Mellow" playlist.
The song, not the act. My new favorite song. Here's some of the lyrics:
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
