Inspired by the Kooks

So many things seem to really inspire me. There's nature, big cities, coffee shops, colors, people, and so much more. In our last blags about what inspired us a read a couple that mentioned music. Music has always been a part of my life and it is something i am really interested and involved in, so in round two of what inspires me I think i would say that music is something so inspirational to me. Personally, i like a lot of kinds of music but my favorite two are indie and jazz. I could write a lot about music as a whole but I decided to write about one specific group I love to listen to and i couldn't even decide! There is Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, Regina Spektor, Dave Matthews Band, Michael Buble, Wolfmother, Ingrid Michaelson, Matt Hires, and the list only goes on and on... so i finally decided upon the Kooks.
If you have never heard the Kooks... LISTEN TO THEM! They are wonderful. A lot of times when i sit down to do art i listen to my iPod and I seem to listen to them a lot. I think there is a lot of reasons why this is so. One is just the feel of the music, it makes me happy. The songs are catchy and very artistic, it's not like the music you always hear on the radio. Another thing is really just their lyrics, they're so creative. I think that is something important and something that really is important in music with vocals! Not only is the wording beautiful, but so are the meanings behind. What girl doesn't like a good song about love or about how beautiful she is?! Plus, the lead singer has a wonderful voice:)
The little things like this seem to really motivate me and inspire me, they make me happy and art as well makes me happy so it only makes sense:)'

"Safety pins holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair, you needn't care,
You look beautiful all the time."
