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

My Favorite Things (1965) from the same source.

Every singer dreads singing "Rainrdops on Noses" so one can have fun repeating the phrase in their hearing before they go on:)

For some reason these two songs came to me. Both are by Hothouse Flowers…

Your Wildest Dreams by The Moody Blues

I first heard this song when I was 11 and even then it felt meaningful to me. There was something magical and transcendent about it. A few years down the track it would come to be directly meaningful to my own life. As much as I have been teased for loving this song (and yes it probably is corny) I still love it and it’s very close to my heart. I’m feeling wistful today so it is speaking to me.

I too like hte Moody Blues, and while we are reminiscing something how about something quicher - George Botsford's "Black And White Rag" which for 20 years was the theme to the TV series "Pot Black".

This was a show that really appealed to me, both the cleverness of the snookering shots and especially the hushed thoughtful tones of the commentator - so different from over the top commentaries in today's sports.
