You, Me, and All People (and Pokémon)

'Cause it's you and me

And all of the people

With nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me

And all of the people

And I don't know why

I can't keep my eyes off of you...

-- "You and Me", Lifehouse

All right, I'm in the mood to catch up a little on the "break" and other Pokémon affairs, so I want to deliver my impressions on Pokémon for a bit, instead of discussing hard things related to the games and so on. For that purpose, I have a series of posts lined up under the title of "Rocking for Pokémon" because they all involve songs that are of the rock music genre (in a sense) and the impressions I get from them about Pokémon. And that starts with the song above, a mellow number from a neat band.

The song, obviously, regards someone's feelings for someone significant; more specifically, it's about the fascination that the person has. That fascination can be considered to make the person almost go mindless and lose track of other things, yet that also affirms that the significant someone is important for that person regardless. This latter message would be particularly reflected in the chorus, which happens to be the part quoted above. In all, it's a good love song as well for anyone feeling it.

For my Pokémon impressions, significances of people-Pokémon relationships (the former as Trainers, keepers, or whoever they are) become particularly important - in addition to people-people relationships as suggested above - given the song's messages. The people don't have to be mindless about it, although some can and might become as such... including me, it seems, for which many of the posts on this blog from recent times might be seen as a testament to that feeling with Pokémon in tow.

I still have much to catch up on, but there will always be music - in this case, rock music in particular - and there will always be Pokémon to accompany me throughout all of that. Hence, the series of posts somewhat makes sense to be done now as I catch up to things and things catch up to me. As the first song in the "Rocking for Pokémon" series, the song above offers a mellow start while I gather up my thoughts for the forthcoming posts, and of course, for my catching-up efforts for Pokémon and all.
