Day Thirty – Your Favourite Song At This Time Last Year
Still one of my favourite songs now. Drumming Song by Florence and the Machine.
And that’s the end….. Now I’ll have to think of something real to write again.
Day Twenty-nine – A Song From Your Childhood
The soundtrack to my childhood is a weird blend of Meatloaf, Soft Metal Ain’t It Heavy, Space and Electric Light Orchestra. As I’ve already done Space, I’ll give you The Diary or Horace Wimp by ELO.
Day Twenty-Eight – A Song That Makes You Feel Guilty
This was an odd one. I tried to remember the songs I listened to when I was in the process of breaking up with my last boyfriend, but clearly I don’t feel too guilty about that, because I can’t even remember. So, I’m reaching even further back to when I helped out a band, playing a piano part to It’s Raining Men. I totally messed it up on the night, despite practising for ages. It still makes me cringe when I hear it now, some 6 or 7 years letter.
Day Twenty-Seven – A Song That You Wish You Could Play
I’ve wanted to be able to play this since I heard it about five years ago. But, though I have the piano book of the album, this is a cover and so isn’t in it. Annoying. Streets Have No Name by Vanessa Carlton.
Day Twenty-Five – A Song That Makes You Laugh
Taking my inspiration from Ivy here, recalling a childhood favourite band. I love this album, and the lyrics to this song are hilarious. Neighbourhood by Space.
Day Twenty-Four – A Song That You Want To Play At Your Funeral
There are plenty of sad, mournful tunes in my music library, but this one is most consistently my favourite. And I like the idea of people at my funeral closing their eyes and seeing me dancing, laughing loud and undiminished. Freedom by David Gray.
Day Twenty-three – A Song That You Want To Play At Your Wedding
I’m sure most people are thinking about romantic songs to walk down the aisle to, but as I can’t think of a single one, I’m fast forwarding the night to the point where everyone has had a few too many beverages and the dance floor is filling up. At this point I want this song to come on, because it always makes me feel like dancing. Come On Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners.
Day Twenty-Two – A Song You Listen To When You Are Sad
Plenty of contenders for this one. Gonna go for Where I Stood by Missy Higgins. Just because.
Day Twenty-one – A Song You Listen To When You Are Happy
I don’t really know why this is any different from a song that makes you happy… hmmm. Looking at my Top 25 Most Played is like looking at the who’s who of depressing classics. Not because I’m depressed – I just like depressing music. And I do listen to it when I’m happy.
The band I’ve chosen do a lot of depressing music, but their country twang never fails to make me happy. And Life Is A Highway by the Rascal Flatts is an awesome song that would compliment anyone’s happy mood.
Day Twenty – A Song You Listen To When You’re Angry
I don’t really do angry music. I like listening to angry music, but I don’t tend to listen to it when I’m angry. Mostly because I usually don’t have the mental capacity to sit and pick tunes when I’ve worked myself into a rage…
I do like My Chemical Romance though, when I’m in a bit of a sour mood. Give ‘Em Hell Kid is my favourite – it was the song that described a character of mine with a few anger issues and a fascination with explosives.
