Josh Groban Comes Into His Own

I heard February Song for the first time on March 1st around lunch time. I was able to discern Josh Groban's voice, but the lyrics were too new to my brain to follow along exactly. So, I found myself in that rare, listening to the radio, and experiencing a song personally for the first time kind of moment. It's mostly a rare occurance due to stock radio programming. It's a shame. When disc-jockeys had more direct influence, or rather autonomy, in the songs played over the course of one day or a shift; well, I imagine that had to be a much more exhilerating experience. An experience that made loyal radio fan for the sake of the music, not necessarily the personality at the mic.

I experienced this kind of overpowering enjoyment the first time I heard the accoustic version of Seal's Love Divine. It's that kind of performance that draws me in, and soon I too wish to learn the song lyrics for myself.
