Currently, what song fits you best? Not your current favorite, but the song you think best reflects your emotional state at this point? What do you listen to and say, “Wow, I feel like I could have written that”?
For me, I’m going to say it’s a tie between REM’s ‘Losing my Religion’, or XTC’s ‘Dear God’. The mood of the songs fits how I’ve been feeling lately. Not outright bitter, but as I get deeper and deeper into senior year, I feel myself getting more and more cynical, and I feel like I somehow missed something, or am missing something. Or something like that.
Or, as an alternate possibility, am I the only one who does this emotional-connection-to-random-songs thing?
“Numb” by U2, not so much the lyrics, but the hollowed out electronic-processed voice singing them and the repetative tone of the music kind of fits my mood.
either “Hey Ya!” off the new OutKast album, or “Cant hardly wait” from a Replacements compilation CD a mate did for me. i’m not entirely sure why, but theres something about them 2 songs that are helping my brain out right now.
possibly because i’m looking for a new job. but take it anyway you like.
Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice.” Also the Susan Tedeschi version.
It’s such a fantastic break-up song. And the great thing about it is that it takes on many different tones and feelings with each version. It can be sad, or bitter, or haunting, or simply careless.
