ROSTAM - DON’T LET IT GET TO YOU
It’s something of a joke, to find a song that “speaks” to you, your situation. From where I am, people rib you no end for the familiarity, especially if it’s sentimental. When “Don’t Let It Get To You” had all the music blogs buzzing, I felt I was going through a personal Dresden. You’re allowed to roll your eyes at that possible hyperbole, but it was anything but. You know what they say, break down to build up, or something. So when Rostam sang through my headphones, I wanted to reach out to my new bestie, “Hey! You get me!” and everything.
Instead, I listened to it over 25 times straight. It’s something of a joke, to find strength in a song.
I want you, even when it don’t make sense.
