Welcome to the Queen's Tuesday Meme #26
Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always fun!
Step out of the box. Be creative. Use your imagination.
No one's answers are quite like yours.
The Rules : Once you have been tagged (or commanded by the Queen) you are supposed to write down the top SEVEN songs you cannot live without. The ones you can listen to over and over and never get tired of. They don't have to be in any particular order. These are the songs that make you laugh, cry, think of an old friend, whatever the reason. I know it's impossible for many of us to narrow it down to seven. There are just too many songs. Instead, make a list of seven songs that move you personally and tell us why. What memory does the song evoke? What emotion? Where were you when you first heard it? We'd like to know what's in your musical memory bank. Name seven songs and tell us about your emotional connection to the song.
This meme is much more difficult than I thought. I have a gazillion songs in my head and it was so hard to choose. In the end I just pulled them out of a hat. Just kidding ;)
So, in no particular order here we go....
1. Eye In The Sky ~ Alan Parsons Project
This is my angry and frustrated song.
If you don't have one, I highly recommend you find one - it's very therapeutic!
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind
2. Hurts So Good ~ John Mellencamp
It's my wake me up, pick me up, shake me up song!
You gotta love it... you know you do.
Hurt so good
Come on baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don´t feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
Come on baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don´t feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
3. Run ~ Collective Soul
Why do I love this song? Because it speaks about the human condition. It's definitely been played over and over again. If you've never heard it... then listen to it please.
Are these times contagious
I've never been this bored before
Is this the prize I've waited for
Now as the hours passing
There's nothing left here to mature
I long to find a messenger
4. Losing My Religion ~ REMI've never been this bored before
Is this the prize I've waited for
Now as the hours passing
There's nothing left here to mature
I long to find a messenger
This is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head for days. It helped me through some confusing times.
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
5. Fallen ~ Sarah Mclachlan
Sarah is my all time favorite female artist. She has written my heart in many songs but since I can only choose one I'll go with Fallen... because I did.
Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
6. Everybody Hurts ~ REM
It's the song that speaks to all of us and is a great reminder that none of us are alone.
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries
and everybody hurts sometimes
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries
and everybody hurts sometimes
7. The Air That I Breathe ~ Hollies
Hey... I can be romantic too ya know!
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you..
