Day 28 – A Song That Makes You Feel Guilty
Justin Timberlake – Rock Your Body
Why does this song make me feel guilty? It’s really a very stupid story. Leaving it at that. Enjoy!

Day 27 – A Song That You Wish You Could Play
Stealers Wheel – Stuck in the Middle With You
Just one? Really? Because honestly, there are sooo many songs I wish I could play.. This one is one of them.
Day 26 – Song You can Play On An Instrument
U2 – New Years Day (sort of)
Back when I was taking piano lessons, I had a friend of mine teach me the intro to “New Years Day.” I guess if I ever sit at a piano again, I might be able to remember it.. then again, it’s been a while, so who knows?
Day 25 – Song that Makes You Laugh
Dropkick Murphys – Kiss Me, I’m Shitfaced
This one never gets old….
Day 24 – Song That You Want Played at Your Funeral
Tyrone Wells – When All Is Said and Done
My relgion wouldn’t really permit music to be played at my funeral. I would hope, though, that whoever winds up buring me, many years from now, would know that I don’t care much for proper religious protocol. I also wouldn’t really want too many sad songs played. I’d want whoever survives me to celebrate my life and not mourn my death, because I love life. That said, if a sadder song was needed, I’d choose this one. The lyrics speak for themselves..
“When all is said and done, And I’m looking back upon this race I’ve Run
And when my heart gives in, I know you’ll be beside me precious friend
It’s just the same from the begining to the end
When all is said and done
And if I lose my way, and I wander down this open road for days
And if the sun should fall, and the dancing we once did becomes a crawl
Let the memories move like shadows on the wall, If I lose my way
When I’m coming home, and I walk across the bridge of death alone
I will fix my eyes on the one who’s waiting at the other side
It’s my old friend with countless others there beside
When I’m coming home…”
Day 23 – Song You Want Played at Your Wedding
Carlos Santana Ft. Dave Matthews – Love of My Life
Okay, I don’t really plan on getting married again. But if I did, I’d want this played. I don’t think I have to explain why… It’s just.. so.. sigh..
Day 22- Song you Listen to When You’re Sad
Taylor Hicks – “Somehow” and “The Fall”
I love me a good “song to brood to.” These two songs are my favorites – Have been for quite some time, actually. I found it impossible to just pick one and not the other – please forgive me for the apparent ‘cheating.’
Basically, back when Taylor Hicks was still on Idol, and right after I heard him sing “Something”, I found these two songs. Had I heard nothing else of his prior American Idol repertoire (which, of course I did), and had he done nothing else of note on the show after that week (which of course he did, and quite well, I might add), I’d have voted for him regardless based solely on these two songs. These days, I’ve been feeling both these songs quite a bit, but “it’s alright, I’ll get by, somehow..”
Day 21 – A Song You Listen to When You’re Happy
Tony Lucca – Foxy Jane
Again, this was difficult. Pin pointing just one song that I listen to when I’m happy?? Not going to happen – So picking the first one that popped in to my head seemed like the best way to go. I’m guessing it did so because it reminds me of my sister-friend Jayme, who I miss like crazy since she’s moved back home and I get to see her but once or twice a year (is it almost September yet?).. and that time Tony gave her a shout out singing “Take it Easy Little J-Dawg” on the Rock Boat. Or the fact that whenever I go see Tony live (especially if I’m with Jayme), I find it difficult to video this song because I just want to dance to it – can’t hold a camera still and shake my ass at the same time, I guess.
Jaymerss this one’s for you!
Day 20 – Song You Listen to When You’re Angry
Foo Fighters – Pretender
Okay, this was not easy. There are a bunch of songs I listen to when angry.. hell, I have an entire playlist of “angry” songs.. Fiona Apple’s “Sleep to Dream” is a favorite, as is Saba’s “Sad Little Boys.” There’s the Ting Tings “Shut up and Let Me Go,” Limp Bizkit’s “Nookie” and of course Cee-Lo’s “Fuck You.” So I randomly selected this one, because it’s one of many songs I listen to to let off steam when what I’d really like to do would most likely end up with me needing bail money… Plus, I’ve been feeling this one for a couple of days now anyway..
Day 19 – A Song From Your Favorite Album
The Beatles – Abbey Road Medley – (Mean Mr. Mustard/Polythene Pam/She Came in Through the Bathroom Window/Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End/Her Majesty)
Favorite Album? Song? Really? After much thought (okay, maybe not THAT much), realizing I couldn’t just pick ONE favorite album, never mind a favorite song off a favorite album, I picked a favorite album side.. sort of. Abbey Road might very well be my favorite Beatles album (although, really, sometimes I think Rubber Soul is.. See? This really is NOT easy for me..). Most of side two (after “Because” and “Here Comes the Sun”) consists of eight songs that blend in to one another, commonly known as “The Medley.” Separately, the songs are good, but when listened to the way they were intended, back to back, flowing into one another, I can say this medley is my favorite song off ONE of my favorite albums…
