Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye
If you know me well, you know that this is my all-time favourite song. I love every millisecond of it. It has been my favourite song since '07. It had been on my iTunes for some time. I had downloaded it with a bunch of other songs and I had it playing in my monthly playlist while studying for midterms. I'm not sure how many people do this, but I often liked listening to music when studying, and when I was reading I liked to have the same song playing in the background, so that novelty wouldn't distract me. Well, this song came on and I decided to keep it on repeat. After about three listens, I was in love. Head over heels. Since then, I've turned to this song in good times and bad. I've listened to it when I've received great news; I've listened to it to ring in the new year, and my birthday; I've listened to it when I've felt so horrible that nobody could make me feel better; I've listened to it through seemingly infinite tears. Sometimes, when it comes on, I get teary because of how much I love it. One of the happiest moments of my life was when I saw SSPU play it live. I hope everyone finds a song this special to them.

Here is an additional clip of the CBC Hockey Night In Canada intro to Game 7 of probably my favourite playoff series in recent history: Penguins vs. Capitals, Crosby vs. Ovechkin. They used Lazy Eye for this clip, and I was absolutely ecstatic when I saw this.

Lastly, here is a small tribute to Adam Yauch, of the Beastie Boys, who passed away on May 4th.
