It's about the way the music rocks your fucking soul. The way you wake up with a song in your head and you can't get it out all day. The way the volume knob on the stereo just doesn't seem to go up high enough. Or you can't sing loud enough. It's all about what it makes you feel in your heart. Jeff Scott Soto does that for me - and apparently he does it for quite a few of us.
POST OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!
AMEN!!!!
Pity the rest of the post was just another heated rambling from yet another JSS fan (likely female with I love JSS/JSS Rocks or God forbid the prerequisite 'Me and JSS' picture in their avatar) punching keys two forums above their weight. It's not as much about the music as some peoples need to defend 'their man' against any form of criticism. Its getting really old fast as pretty much every interesting topic inevitably turns into a thread about JSS which then seems to turn everything sour.
Now I like JSS and DO think some of the criticism is often unnecessary and repeated ad nauseam. Its just that everything is getting to be very predictable and I'm no Nostradamus!
Hey, I took that picture!
I may not be Ansel Adams, but I thought it turned out rather well. As for
my avatar, it's the best picture I've taken in 51 years (sad, I know) so I am darn well gonna use it as my avatar!
In fact, when I need a pic where it needs to be just me, I crop Jeff out!
There are some pretty gorgeous ladies running around here with SA in their avatar, too!
Hey, Andrew's back!!!
you got it!
That's it
When something touches you so deeply
you can transcend
Kim, You're avatar is truly beautiful
An eternal moment for you to rememebr
When you're in that space
& the world fades into the distance
everything around you becomes soft like a breeze
a smile just fills you & for that moment you see that inner glow.
You were just so happy & time melts away
leaving just for a second that glimpse of who you truly are.
That is true of song
That is the mystery
that is what we seek
that feeling the music gives us
where it takes us
how it allows us to be free
even for just a few minutes....
We all find it in different ways
music is one very pure way
& it is good
& it matters not how we look or the clothes we wear.
If you think like that
then you are missing the true beauty
~Shadow~
There is a seed within called hope
Waiting for the chance to grow
There's forever flowing from your soul
Waiting for the spirit to be flown
Are you sure you're not thinking of Sex And The City? 
Dannyboy.
