My thoughts... for what they're worth. |
| ...(hopefully) daily ruminations that add up to 500 words. |
| Before I start...I skipped Day 15 because it never matters how hard I try I have never been able to pick a song that describes me so...why would this time be any different? Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hate I can't really think of one that I used to love but now "hate." There are a lot of songs that I despise but most of them started out that way...others started out as annoying and grew to garner hatred. But here's one that I loved and then my life got really dark for a long time and I can no longer think of it in the same way as I did before... Tech Romance by Her Space Holiday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd4l4euwJAM |
Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love This one is easy. Anyone who was/is a fan of the Buffy Universe had to at least peek in on Angel from time to time to see what was going on with the brooding anti-hero. In those peeks you likely met a character named Lindsey McDonald. You also may have seen Lindsey performing L.A. Song on stage at Caritas. Christian Kane, the actor who played Lindsey, is a budding musician...and a damned good one. The clincher? He's a little bit country... a little bit rock and roll but a little bit country. So, my answer to today's question is A Different Kind of Knight by Christian Kane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERR1FzUDvUQ Of course...I scour Youtube to find a good quality live performance and embedding has been disabled... :( |
| Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure I really don't have one. I love music. Even when I detest a band or artist, I find myself liking a song somewhere along the way. There are songs and artists that other people think I should consider guilty pleasures... Say by John Mayer Pretty much anything by Katy Perry or Lady Gaga (Telephone makes me want to stab myself with a knitting needle, but otherwise...) Womanizer by Britney Spears .... |
| Day 12 - A song from a band you hate Is this supposed to be a song that I like from a band I hate? I don't understand.... So I guess I'll go with that... The song itself was actually a No Doubt song but since Gwen Stefani makes me want to commit random acts of messy messy violence all over the place, I pick Bathwater, which was one of my favorite No Doubt tunes back when they were still ska and cool. "In times of crisis, when I felt unloved and alone, when others would turn to prayer, I’d put my headphones on." ~Mat Devine |
| Day 11 - A song from your favorite band What?!?! Just any song, nothing else to go on with this one, eh? I guess the song from my favorite band - Kill Hannah - that is first in my thoughts right now is Why I Have My Grandma's Sad Eyes. There is to be a video interpretation for us to feast upon soon and from the video stills I can only hope to imagine the level of insane brilliance that will come of this horror flick set to the tune of one of my favorites of all of their songs, ever (Kennedy is top and Sad Eyes is tied with Crazy Angel for second place). |
| Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep I can't think of a song to fit this one. I have a guided meditation track called Crystal Caves. I think it came from one of those Lifescapes collections. I put it on when I have too much noise in my head. That's it...Day 10. Sorry there isn't more. |
| Day 09 - A song that you can dance to I've already mentioned two songs that have dancing memories - Margaritaville and We Are Family - but the first thing that came to my mind was "This is a dance song so it's your chance to go a little apeshit, maybe get some cool bruises." Crazy Angel by Kill Hannah Just Like Heaven by the Cure makes me dance too...not dance club dancing but an 80's hipster sort of sway where my head kind of follows my shoulders...very hard to explain :D |
| I skipped day 7 because I couldn't think of anything and still can't but we're going to try.... Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event A lot of the songs I thought of to answer this question were actually related to multiple events rather than just one. I already mentioned dancing to Margaritaville, usually at the Kappa Sigmas' Winter Formals, We are Family with my sorority sisters... When I was in high school (maybe still...it's been nearly ten years since I've been to a high school sporting event) the basketball teams all had their warm up music. Every school, every Varsity team, had their own tapes and the boys' team at my school had one of the best, and not just because it was ours. Three songs that stand out in my head are Cowboys From Hell by Pantera, Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield and Plateau by Nirvana....See...I told you it was pretty awesome. :D I also remember hot summer days, riding around in Charlie's or Dawn's car, with Bitch by Meredith Brooks blasting on the radio with the windows rolled down. Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to HAHAHAHAHAHA Have you met me? I am a human juke box. Let's just take a look at the ones I can keep singing after the radio goes off, or that I know by heart even without it playing...shorter list. Hey, Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms A Murder of One by the Counting Crows Two Headed Boy by Neutral Milk Hotel Paper Dolls and Why I Have My Grandma's Sad Eyes by Kill Hannah (only two, really?? yes, only two) Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits |
| I started Day 5 last night then I got sucked into the TARDIS and before I knew what had happened it was time to go to bed...not that I have a "bedtime" mind you, just that I was too tired to work on it anymore so you are getting two for the price of one today. Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone There are a lot of these. I guess I'll just list what I can think of off the top of my head. Something by the Beatles reminds me of my ex-idiot. One night, before we were officially "together" we were sitting out under the stars in the middle of the night (it was probably 1 or 2 in the morning by this point) and had been talking but were at a lull in the conversation when the strangest song started playing in my head. Something. So we talked about that. The next day he had to take a bus home and heard it on the radio on the way to the station and again in one of the stations he stopped at along the way. After that we decided it must have been meant to be our song. It took a long time after we broke up for it to not make me sick to hear it. We are Family by Sister Sledge and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper both for my sorority sisters. Whenever we are together at a sister's wedding or at a formal, any time there is a group of us, we have the DJ play one or the other or both for us. It's one of those memories that doesn't have a specific moment attached to it because there have been so many of them over the years. Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet for my Kappa Sigma brothers. I'll never forget "Wasting away again in Kappa Sigma-ville, searching for my lost pitcher of beer," and dancing in that absurd and possibly deadly circle without any shoes, praying that no one stepped on one of my feet. Popular from the Wicked soundtrack for Jenni Barrett...one of the first times I ever met Jenni she sang Popular for me and told me that she wanted to legally change her name from Jennifer to Genevieve. It's characters like Jenni who make me so happy that I joined the sorority. Without that I never would have met her. Burn by the Cure for Lisa Humphrey, my KHK big sister. When I first joined the Kill Hannah Kollective, I didn't really think too much about it, didn't get too involved but then I started to see how much everyone cared about each other and took care of their own, how similar everyone was and different at the same time and started to think of it more the way I think of my sorority, as a second family. The younger members have adopted Lisa as their second mother and that's fine for them but to me she's more of a big sister, partly because calling her "Mom" casts us in a bad after school special :) There are a ton more but I have another day's worth of songs to add on here so I'll just leave it with this. Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere I'm not really sure that there are specific songs that remind me of specific places. My brain works in a kind of six degrees of separation way and sometimes Kennedy, my favorite Kill Hannah song ever, makes me think of John Jr. and that makes me think of being at my aunt's house the summer after I graduated high school, watching the news coverage as they searched for him and his downed plane. That's three steps between Kill Hannah and my aunt LOL Grunge, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Bush, all make me think of Seattle in the 90's...somewhere I would have given up an arm to live. Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard, makes me think of Corpus Christi, TX, but not for any real reason. |
| Day 04 - A song that makes you sad There really isn't one right now...at least not that I can think of right off. It just happened one day that the song that made me the saddest didn't anymore. My ex-fiance's and my song was Something by the Beatles. After we ... well, whatever it is that we did, I couldn't hear it without my heart breaking all over again. I still listened to it, because that's what we do when something makes us sad...we wallow in it, but it hurt me so much to hear it that the pain would make me sick to my stomach. |
