Lately I become more and more aware just how much has changed since a few short years ago when music was everything to me. I swam day in and night out on the ripples of melody which carried me through life. Things, however, have changed in many ways. I am no longer all-consumed by this band or that band.

Music, however, can still move me. Just this morning, Erika and I were watching our favorite TV channel and were driven to smile by the background music in a series of commercials for Haagen Dazs. The maker of premium ice cream and sorbet, it turns out, also has a very business/customer-saavy website complete with downloadable versions of the TV commercials themselves AND the song behind them. Check it out at the bottom of the front page.

There are still several bands that I can enjoy although now I find that the music moves me based on my mood rather than my mood moved by the music. Perhaps I will dedicate a post to the bands, songs, etc. that I enjoy.

For now, I invite you to check out (free downloads) a small band out of Harrisonburg, Virginia (home to James Madison University) that is pure delight: Muelle.
