A song to express your feelings

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

Hip Hop classes are cool. I would like to do them too. I dont get out much. You sound very motivated. Thats good. Im learning to tell the truth more and to be honest. Some good people in my life are supporting me. When I am more motivated like you, I would like to to a hip hop course. Thats sounds really cool. You and your boy should do it. Thatll be most excellent.

I am so proud of you to have come to that realisation honesty is the best policy in life it will not get you into trouble nor will it give you anything to hide from if u put ur mind to it u will achieve anything u want i believe in you and I know you can do it xx the classes r alot of fun yes for me its all about finding the right time most of them are run at night at the time i put my son to bed so might have to wait a little while longer until he can self settle to go to sleep. It's taken me such a long time to be brave enough strong enough and motivated enough bc i am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and everything that comes with that I am also a youth worker am loving that part of it ni longer can work in the field bc of my son but it's such a passion of mine to help people and c them happy and living the life they should be for themselves xx I am happy to hear that u have people around to support you i too am a sufferer of bipolar depression anxiety and body dysmorphia so i can def empathize with u the meaning of having supportive people around xx

Thank you.

Im not good with words or conversations. Thanks for talking to me. I believe in you and your son too.

I've always loved 'Bridge over troubled waters' by Simon and Garfunkel.

Hi everyone,

atm two songs represent my feelings:

  1. Dear Life by Delta Goodrem. I love the lyrics especially 'I'm a survivor' and;
  2. The Greates by Sia. I know that 'I got stamina'

Btw, I am greatly affected by music and lyrics. I am known to cry 😭 for not good reason. Song often set a time and place, not always happy ones.

Have a nice day, Franka x,
