Music worm

In what can only be described as an astounding feat of procrastination, even by my high standards, I'm going to adapt the previous "Book worm" thing to be about music. I have so much work to do today I don't even know where to begin, so rather than making that rather difficult decision, I'm going to waste some time on this instead. I've changed some of the questions, because there are just some things that apply to books that don't apply to music.

1. One Song That Changed Your Life
Again not sure if any one song has changed my life, but I think that "Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot is pretty powerful. It's a real "forget the shit of the past" kinda song.

Welcome to the planet, welcome to existence
Everyone's here, everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now, everybody waits for you now
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up of the floor
I dare you to move
Like today never happened, today never happened before.

2. One Song You Could Listen to Over and Over A song by the Argentine band Los Enanitos Verdes called "Luz de Dí­a" (in English, the band name means "The Green Little Dwarfs" and the song is "Light of Day") it has a killer guitar riff and some really interesting (and very romantic) lyrics.

Y porque puedo mirar el cielo
besar tus manos
sentir tu cuerpo
decir tu nombre
y las caricias serán la brisa
que aviva el fuego de nuestro amor

And because I can see heaven
kiss your hands
feel your body
speak your name
and the carresses will be the breese
that stokes the fire of our love.

3. One Song That Always Makes You Sad When You Hear It
"Old Pictures" by Something for Kate.

I remembered you on trains,

Now you're on every train I hear.

4. One Song That Always Makes You Happy When You Hear It
"You Sound Like Louis Burdett" by The Whitlams.

And we roll on to my back shed
Play some poker, scratch my head
Look at the sky and spot the planes
Where would I go on holidays?
Roll with the punches down the aisles
and down the streets the weeks roll by.

All my friends are fuckups but they're fun to have around
Banana chairs out on the concrete
Telling stories to the stars
How Geminis love wooden dragons, yeah
How down the street the weeks roll by.

5. One Song That You Wish You Had Written
Just about anything by The Indigo Girls. Read into that what you will.

6. One Song That Wracked You With Sobs
Ok this is also kindembarrassingng. I was young and messed up, but I distinctly remember crying when I heard "Full of Grace" by Sarah McLachlan for the first time.

I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh darkness I feel like letting go

If all of the strength
And all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
Full of grace

7. One Song You Wish Had Never Been Written
"Diggin on You" by TLC. My Dad had just discovered the "repeat" function on the CD player when this song came out, and consequently I've heard it more than is reasonable for any one lifetime.

8. Album You A’re Currently Listening To
"Nothing is Sound" by Switchfoot.

So that's about it. I'm going to have some lunch and then get stuck into some of this work I have to do. Unless, of course, I find something else to do. Like add images to this post.
