The Cloud Prayer - AC Newman

"You don't think that I try for you
I went into the skies for you"

It's strange how you can go through such different phases.  I have never really loved AC Newman.  Maybe it's because when I saw The New Pornographers, Carl Newman tried to steal the show (even his myspace band descriptions reads: Carl Newman and others).  Maybe it's something else but I'm guessing I'm rubbed wrong by his aire of pomposity.  

That being said, I heard this song for the first time today and fell in love.  I say I heard this song for the first time, but I am sure I'm heard it before.  Today I heard it heard it though.  Something resonated, something clicked, something was perfect.  So, as I continue to evolve and explore my life soundtrack, I add AC Newman, to my utmost surprise.

I wonder if it's my underlying desire that the lyrics of this song fit my life that draws me in?
