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

Very true Smallwolf. However it reminded me about someone who decides to avoid getting some scars:)

"Police Dog Blues" (1929)

Blind Blake

[Eagle Ray]

The Fighter - Keith Urban featuring Carrie Underwood.

 After 8 days of travelling through country areas I’ve heard Keith Urban songs playing in pubs and cafes. He is so popular in country Australia. So I thought it fitting to pick one of his songs to express my feelings. It’s a song about fighting for love and trust following trauma and a loss of trust and safety. It kind of fits my journey as I seek love, trust and safety in my life.

Hands - Jewel

I just put this song in the A-Z song list thread, but then realised it applies to how I feel today - that I am healing. My favourite lines from this song are:

"In the end, only kindness matters."

"I am never broken, we are never broken."

I am woman

One is the loneliness number - Three Dog Night

[Croix]

Creedence Cleerwater Revival "Fortunate Son"

As the song says not everybody is one. So to cheer you up:

Janis Joplin "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?"

[Eagle Ray]

Life Itself - Bruce Springsteen 

[smallwolf]

night comes down - judas priest

[Croix]

Don't Fear The Reaper (1976)

Blue Öyster Cult

[Eagle Ray]

I’m currently seeing things clearly I couldn’t before, and there is a feeling/sense of liberation in that. So the following song immediately came to mind:

I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash (later covered by Hothouse Flowers).
