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

Having a fairly good day today.  Song takes me back to memories of good times as a child growing up.  Very precious memories

I felt a tentative reconnection with the world of people today and how important caring for each other is. So this song came to mind…

 

Lean On Me - Bill Withers

Not sure I can fully explain it, but this is the song that is speaking to me today:

 

Burning Down the House  - Talking Heads

 

David Byrne does some really fun live versions of this more recently with the 12 piece band on the American Utopia tour. Heaps of cool percussion. David Byrne is one of my favourite people.

Raining Again - Staind 

(listen with caution if you do choose to seek this song out - it's a bit of a downer) 

Smith/Kotzen - Scars

 

(is about the emotional and physical scars that we all carry with us. The lyrics explore the idea of how we can all be scarred by our experiences, but how we can also use those scars to make us stronger.)
