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

R.E.M. - Everybody hurts.

It's my current go to song when I'm feeling down - always brings me to tears.  I haven't listened to it for a while (at least 2 months) - a sign that I'm currently in remission phase.

Wasted Years - Iron Maiden

[Croix]

Taino - "Sami u tami"

Gentle reflective theme from the 2022 Bosnian TV series "Kotlina"made in Sarajevo

Reminds me of Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross"

[Croix]

Someone else reminded me:

"Blowin in the Wind", Bob Dylan

Sort of appropriate after the last two days.

[sbella02]

"Tears of Gold" by Faouzia has been on repeat for me for a little while. I'm not directly experiencing this now, but it's been relevant for me in the past. It's all about giving so much to another person who takes but doesn't give back.

Having listened to Rich Folks Hoax by Rodriguez I though I needed something more cheerful

so:

Money, money, money

ABBA

Not related to my mood but what I hope for after cataract surgery today

”I can see clearly now” - Jimmy Cliff

[Eagle Ray]

Patches, I hope all went smoothly with the cataract surgery and you are seeing clearly again. A woman I knew a while ago thought her husband had a sun tan. She then had cataract surgery and found it was just her eyes and he didn't have a sun tan after all.

I found a song that I think expresses how I feel today.

Heal by Tom Odell.

[Patches63]

Eagle Ray,  surgery went well.  Prior to surgery only clear vision I had was within few cms of my left eye.  I could see the largest letter on the eye chart but was semi guessing which letter it was.  Took couple days after surgery for vision to fully improve.  Now can see everything in the distance clear and crisp in that eye.  End of this month will have surgery on other eye, so looking forward to early November

[Eagle Ray]

That’s wonderful Patches! It must be amazing to have that good vision in one eye again. It will be so good too with the other eye done. All the best!
