Cher’s **Believe** and **Strong Enough** sum things up for me totally at the moment.

Well…

I started this year with  
[Dashboard Confessional - The Swiss Army Romance](http://www.quicklyrics.com/lyrics/Dashboard-Confessional_The-Swiss-Army-Romance.htm)

Then worked my way to  
[Nick Drake - Been Smoking Too Long](http://www.lyricsdir.com/n/nick-drake/been-smoking-too-long.php) (incredible song!)

Now I think I’m somewhere near  
Victrola - Live As You Like

Since it’s nowhere on the web…

> Every day you get another chance to make a big mistake  
> You’re dancing out of time but you feel like you’re groovin’  
> Every day you wonder if you’re headed in the right direction

> Who can’t think, they just stand by the line  
> Let us all laugh aloud at hard we have tried  
> To get in or get out of the crowd…

Yupski.

I was listening to Heather Nova today, and the song “Like Lovers Do” came on…

> I want to give myself to you

> Like lovers do, they lose themselves for days.  
> And I need to feel that way.

_sigh_ I’ve been working too much lately. So has my wife (she’s working right now, dammit).

Okay, I have another one. I was up in Jersey over the weekend, and heard Closure by a _Chevelle_ and was damn near floored. It is **exactly** where I am right now.

Going through a long dark night of the soul, and for some reason this has been very comforting: Brimful of Asha by _Cornershop_.

“American Music” by the Violent Femmes, “Only God Knows Why” by Kid Rock, and “Control” by Puddle of Mudd.

Brings back good memories and makes some new ones.
