A song to express your feelings

[lookingforme]

At this hour, I find myself particularly vulnerable because I am heavily sleep deprived, and my brain can't really process. I have been awake for 21 hours and 12 minutes straight after a string of nights of only a few hours' sleep. I don't feel well, nor do I feel sleepy. So, I am listening to the soundtrack of my life entitled "Walkabouts" and right now, the perfect song to describe what I am feeling (at least the chorus of it) is Madness by Muse. Has anyone ever felt like they could communicate more if they did it through the songs that already exist? I challenge us to have a conversation consisting of song quotes.

So, dedicated to my depression; here I go...

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad mad mad...Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad mad mad....Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad mad mad...Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad mad mad...I, I can't get these memories ooout of my mind, and some kind of maaaadness has started to evolve. Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad mad mad...Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad mad mad... And I, I tried so hard to let you go-ooo, but some kind of maaaadness is swallowing me whole, yeah....Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad mad mad...Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mad mad mad...I have finally seen the light. And I have finally realized, what you mean....

Ooh oh oh

Hi Spunkyturtle,

Hey, I know Just Like Fire. It's a good song for when I'm having a bad day and need to feel fierce! 😊

Basket Case - Green Day

In a Rock mood today

"...The hardest part is letting go of your dreams...A drink for the horror that I'm in; for the good guys and the bad guys; for the monsters that I've been! Three cheers for tyranny; unapologetic apathy! 'Coz there ain't no way that I'm coming back again!"

"Underneath this fragile frame, lives a battle between pride and shame. But I've misplaced that sense of right, this crown of thorns is perched atop my spine. Listen closely as I testify, dependency has been a thief at night, thief at night..."

Move Along is always a good one to listen to. Personally I find

• You ruin me by the Veronicas
• Word I couldn't say by Leighton Meester
• A little but Stronger by Sara Evans

are the ones that best suit me.​

Numb - Linkin Park

Not so much anymore but most certainly in my early days of my mental health journey.

Are you still around Kanga? I thought you had vanished into your hiding place forever. As soon as I saw the words to Five Pennies I knew it had to be you. Five Pennies, starring Danny Kaye, singing to his little girl as she went to sleep.

Do the others know you are still around or am I the last to know? Are you going to drop into the Cafe, or try to Kill a Thread or two? hoping all is well in your world......

Hi guys. Just saw this tread. When I'm having a bad day the song that expresses my feelings is 'Nobody's Home' by Avril Lavene. Love that song. Also 'Chandelier' by Sia (holding on for tonight)

Hi All.

Chandeleir. That's a good one. I can definitely relate to that song. I wasn't away of the Avril Levigne song Ms Purple. Thanks for mentioning it. I looked up the lyrics. I'm going to go and have a bit more of a look for some videos etc.

I like the song Unwell by Matchbox 20. It's a song about mental issues but I find it uplifting! I think it's positive in the sense that the overall message is you might be having a bad day today but in time things will get better.
