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

Fun with a hint of nostalgia, nonce to see stars can poke fun at themselves

Listening to Cat Stevens today, Wild World.

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware, beware

I've been taught by experts in the art of cruelty
Now I'm giving lessons free, all it takes is three
I'll teach you to make friends with pain, that's lesson number one
No, it's not much fun, never was much fun

I’ve been taught by experts, Peter Allen

We Can't be Friends - Ariana Grande

A newer pop song with a catchy beat and tune, and even though some of the lyrics are a little ominous, I feel really seen listening to it.

Some Unholy War Amy Winehouse

While looking at Mrs C sitting by me near the fire the following song written in 1927 came into my head
"Ain't she sweet" by Milton Ager. It's on an old 78 record with 'Nipper' the terrier on the label looking into the old wind up gramophone horn

Later popularized by the Beatles.

In case you prefer something more downbeat try instead "Black to Black" sung by Amy Whinehouse which I enjoyed yesterday

A cheerful one:
