music is weird - i have discovered that certain songs help

[silentalways]

in different ways at different times. for example: when i was in love with someone, i would listen to the Tragically Hip song Ahead By A Century and it was a connection to that vibe i was feeling

 

[First we'd climb a tree and maybe then we'd talk

Or sit silently and listen to our thoughts

With illusions of someday casting a golden light

No dress rehearsal, this is our life

That's when the hornet stung me and I had a feverish dream

With revenge and doubt tonight we smoke them out

You are ahead by a century

Stare in the morning shroud and then the day began

I tilted your cloud, you tilted my hand

Rain falls in real time and rain fell through the night

No dress rehearsal, this is our life

That's when the hornet stung me and I had a serious dream

With revenge and doubt tonight, we smoked them out

You are ahead by a century

But this is our life and disappointing you getting me down]

 

then when i need to get over that love, i would listen to the Tragically Hip song Dumping The Body and it was a connection to my ability to let go and gave me the vibe i needed.

 

[Morning broke out the backside of a truck-stop

the end of a line a real, rainbow-likeing, luck stop

where you could say I became chronologically " * * * *ed-up".

Put ten bucks in just to get the tank topped off.

Then, I found a place it's dark and it's rotted.

It's a cool, sweet kinda-place

where the copters won't spot it

and I destroyed the map, I even thought I forgot it,

however, every-day I'm dumping the body.

It'd be better for us if you don't understand.

It'd be better for me if you don't understand

They don't know how old I am,

they found armour in my belly

from the 16th century, conquistador, I think.

They don't know how old I am,

they found armour in my belly.

Passion out of machine-revving tension, lashing

out at machiine-revving tension, brushing by the

machine-revving tension.]

 

does this happen to anyone else?

[Reluctant Rebuilder]

All the time. For example, Crooked Teeth by Death Cab always puts me in a defiant "screw you" for leaving me mood. Actually there is a whole play list that affects my mood, songs that I have to avoid because they're too painful to hear. Lots of those actually.

[laboheme]

If you want to get into an angry "screw you" mood, "Death on Two Legs" by Queen does the trick. Sure, it wasn't written as a love song, but I find it easy to apply to that context.

 

You suck my blood like a leech

You break the law and you preach

Screw my brain till it hurts

You’ve taken all my money

And you want more

Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules

With your narrow minded cronies

Who are fools of the first division...

 

Death on two legs

You’re tearing me apart

Death on two legs

You’ve never had a heart of your own

Kill joy, bad guy, big talking, small fry

You’re just an old barrow boy

Have you found a new toy to replace me?

Can you face me?

But now you can kiss my *** goodbye!

Feel good are you satisfied?

Do you feel like suicide?

(I think you should)

Is your conscience all right

Does it plague you at night?

Do you feel good...feel good?

 

You talk like a big business tycoon

You’re just a hot air balloon

So no one gives you a da*n

You’re just an overgrown schoolboy

Let me tan your hide

A dog with disease

You’re the king of the ’sleaze’

Put your money where your mouth is

Mister know-all

Was the fin on your back

Part of the deal? (shark)

 

Death on two legs

You’re tearing me apart

Death on two legs

You’ve never had a heart (you never did) of your own

(right from the start)

Insane you should be put inside

You’re a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride

Should be made unemployed

Then make yourself null and void

Make me feel good...I feel good
