Day 25. Wow, we made it to day 25. Today I’m to tell you about a song that I could listen to all day and not get sick of.
This one can be any number of songs. I can listen to a lot of songs and never be tired of them, but today, one particular one comes to mind. I love drum and bass. I can listen to it non stop and not get sick of it. Why? It keeps you moving non stop and makes everything go faster. I’ve listened to it cleaning, painting, sketching, playing video games, and just about anything else. I want to share one of my favorite ones with you to send you off with a bang here.
Day 24 brings us A song that I have dance to with my best friend.
I’ve never had someone I consider a best friend, just good friends, and it is with this people that you can just be yourself, especially if that is silly and goofy. And to this, it means I can be myself, and just dance, in the goofiest ways of course. One of the times I’ve been dancing around, being silly, having a good time, was with Boyfriend. We enjoy doing things like that. And it doesn’t matter where we are either. The one that I’m recalling right now was very random. I was in a terribly silly mood, and as we walked over to the grocery store, proceeded to dance to music in my head the whole way there. Once we reached it, I still continued to dance to the beat of the songs playing, just very silly. Boyfriend would smile and keep shopping. Then one particular song came on, and he joined me dancing. Right in the middle of the aisle, we were dancing like no one else was around. We had a lot of fun. He lets me be me, and then joins me as well.
Not many would see this one coming:
Also, we were dancing to this one randomly whilst working on other things too.
Well alright then, let’s just get right down to it. This position is actually tied. Same artist, but 2 songs, and so closely named. Are you ready? Can you handle this? I hope so, because here it is…
Funny, It’s Friday as this is being published. I feel like I just trolled people and wished them happy Friday at the same time.
Song of day demand for today is to tell you about a song that was sung to me.
I don’t have people typically sing songs to me. Maybe it’s because of the look I give them when they do. It typically looks like: I just don’t see a reason to. Though boyfriend will sing as off key as possible sometimes to me, just because he can. I honestly think he just likes the faces I make. One of the songs he sings is by Kaskade. He loves them. This song came on in the car when just started going out, and he started to sing it to me.
First off, I apologize for missing a few posts. I’m catching up here, however I’ve been preoccupied with trying to pack up my apt as I’m moving this weekend.
So day 20, the last song in your iTunes.
Catch22 – 9mm and 3 Piece Suit is what is sitting there for last in my iTunes Library.
But wait! There’s still my Spotify to go thru. And the winner is…
薔薇と彼女の王子 by Heartsrevolution (Not my fault that characters are last.) Yes, this song is a bit different, but I love their music.
So day 19 and ever so close to the end, brings us to the First song in your iTunes Library Alphabetically.
I’ve been Spotifying it out lately, so let me see which one it is.
On Spotify 16 Dollars by Volbeat wins the award for first. I love Volbeat. They are amazing to me, and this song, to me carries a bit of a Swing/Lindy Hop feeling.
If you look at iTunes, the song to take top billing alphabetically is Able by NEEDTOBREATHE, very different from Volbeat, but they’re pretty awesome in a different way. Kinda an uplifting song, I think so anyways.
Day 18 is to tell about a song I love, but don’t listen to much.
Honestly, I’ve been thinking about this all day and really cannot pick one. I had 12 hours sitting at work to figure one out, and none stuck in my head. One briefly flew by, but it wasn’t a song I love, it was a song that was just played at every party I ever went to, and then at my parent’s 25th anniversary party, when it was played, someone had a heart attack. Yeah that song is not played anymore. (Electric Slide btw, something about that having to show up at every party around here.)
I guess the closest that would come is, Don’t Speak by No Doubt. I love that song, but I’ve been going through a thing lately that in my head they sold out, which I think they did to a point. So I find it hard to listen to most of their music anymore.
Ok, we’ll stick with that. Don’t Speak by No Doubt, as I do love that song, and any song from that album and further back.
Day 17 brings us to a song that makes me want to dance.
I’ve been dancing since I could walk. I love to dance, and about 2/3’s the time, it’s actually in rhythm to what is playing. I swear it’s true. I might be white, but somewhere in me is a little bit of dance. So what song is it that I hear and just cannot help but dance to?
I could say any ska music, or swing music, or anything I hear, because it does happen. I love electronic and electroswing as well, but I do love me some classic rock and some 80’s too. So today came to a tie, between a song I would dance to nonstop, and still do whenever I hear it, and one that I recently have been enjoying dancing to, and got Boyfriend into. Are you ready for this? Are you sure about that? Ok, well here it goes.
Tie for makes me want to dance is none other than Caravan Palace’s Suzy, and Kenny Loggings Footloose.
I’m serious. Suzy brings swing back with a new sound. I’ve been into Electro Swing for a while now, and this one got me started on it. It’s amaze balls. Yes, I said amaze balls. Get use to it, Boyfriend tends to rub off on me. I’ve gotten him into this type of music now too. In fact, he does Step Mania tracks, and is making a chart for this song now.
And yes, I said Footloose. I remember watching that movie non stop. I would get up and dance as a child every time the song was on. Would get the family cracking up and of course my sister telling me I cannot dance, so I shouldn’t even try, but then that is how she is. For all intents and purposes, she is the definition of a bitch. The parents agree, though this is digressing. Back to the reasoning with this song. Today, when I hear this song, I still rock out and twice as hard, even if it’s just in the car whilst driving. I know the other drivers envy me and snazzy moves. Of course none will ever compare to the school full of people with the awesome dance moves from a place where dancing was illegal and none should have known how to dance.
And because I couldn’t decide on which version I liked better, this one works good for me.
One of the first songs that comes to mind is Social Distortion’s Angel Wings. It was a time when I had literally stopped myself from feeling to the point that I was numb, and the only way to feel anything was through self mutilation. Then this album came out, Love, Sex, and Rock N Roll. I had bought it right away, because I owned everything by Mike Ness, and it had to go into my collection. I listened to the whole album through, and started bawling. It was the first thing in probably 18 months to elicit an emotion from me without me having to hurt myself to get it. It was a breakthrough of sorts. I had a long road that since then, from 2004 until just this past year to finally put everything behind me, but this song, in particular from that album, reached something inside of me that helped weaken the darkness that had taken hold of me.
In an interview with Mike Ness regarding this album he had the following to say “Definitely more glam and seventies influences and less country since I’m able to realize this part of me better by the Mike Ness Band. And certainly more hope and light than on White Light, White Heat, White Trash. You can’t forever tell yourself and others that life’s all bad. Apart from other things, punk rock also is about fun and loud guitars. Before doing the last album I went through a really hard time, and even if not all is great in my life, I’m much better now than at that time.” I say it reached it’s mark. I feel the same.
Day 15 is to post a song that I love to sing along to.
I have already told you about one of them, Nickleback’s How You Remind Me. I don’t have the greatest singing voice, or I don’t think I do, but one day in the car, this song came on and I was singing along and Boyfriend told me how I sound good singing it. I think it’s because I have a husky voice when I sing. This still does not stop me from singing though. I love to. So besides the Nickelback song, what other song do I love to sing along to?
So, one of the songs, at least for this week that I’m singing nonstop, is Flyleaf’s All Around Me. Why? I just like it. After hearing about twice, the lyrics stuck in my head. I can sing it with0ut hearing the music, or with it. If I’m listening to it and the music fades out for a moment, I’ll keep singing and when it comes back, I’m right were it left off. Though I do that with a lot of songs. I do that with Social Distortion’s songs, Dropkick Murphy’s songs, and a bunch of others.
I just don’t see a reason to. Though boyfriend will sing as off key as possible sometimes to me, just because he can. I honestly think he just likes the faces I make. One of the songs he sings is by Kaskade. He loves them. This song came on in the car when just started going out, and he started to sing it to me.
