There are some things that never change.
When Nickel Creek broke up, I thought I would have to find another favorite musical artist. But they're still my favorite. The Beatles are favorites to some, and hey, two of them are dead.
There's a reason why "Speak" is still my favorite song. (Really, check it out. It's fantastic).
It features writing by Sean Watkins, Nickel Creek guitarist and less-frequent songwriter in the group, along with vocals from all three members. The video is also amazing.
It's amazing how talented people can get together and do wonderful, beautiful things.
My mom took me to see them play at Mississippi Nights when I was 13. They played a medley of one of their songs mixed with what seemed like a billion others, including "Yellow" by Coldplay and some Wilco something. I bought a tank top and Sara and Chris signed my songbook. Happiest 7th grader in the world.
There's something to be said for real raw music.
