Sometimes I find myself on youtube, looking up acoustic versions of different songs. Sometimes, I am pleasantly surprised, and other times, I find myself wondering what I just suffered through. But, it makes me wonder about our perception of things. For example, the song "Here In Your Arms" by Hello Goodbye, is not a song that I would ever listen to on purpose. But, I stumbled across this acoustic duet of it, and I find that it becomes something that I quite enjoy. So why do I like one version and not another? I think it is because of my perception of it. I connect with acoustic music more than I do with this poppy-dance-ish mix style that I would hear pounding from my little sisters room. It is the exact same message, but it's delivery is completely different. Something to think about: next time you hear something that you don't really like, think about times you communicate the same things but in a different way. Some can be good some can be not as good.
