Ahhh those soothing songs.

This song plays incessantly in my head: "Why Don't You and I" by Santana. I've heard two versions -- one featuring Chad Kroeger and the radio version featuring Alex Band. Chad's version is a bit gritty and sung with seemingly more feeling. However, Alex Band's version has a smoother tonal sound, blends better with Santana's guitar and is my choice for listening; Chad's sound is less soothing and just doesn't do it for me. Nonetheless, my point is that I'm repeatedly amazed how the subtleties of music inspire my moods. It makes me want to search for the old songs that've moved me in the past and to see if they still bring about those same feelings today.
