I gotta stop listening to music that I KNOW is gonna depress me. I think my iTunes is conspiring against me.

"Reasons Why" by Nickel Creek
Where am I today? I wish that I knew
'Cause looking around there's no sign of you
I don't remember one jump or one leap
Just quiet steps away from your lead

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too
Feeling this short of a love that we once knew
I'm calling this home when it's not even close
Playing the role with nerves left exposed

Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines
Others have excuses, but I have my reasons why

We get distracted by dreams of our own
But nobody's happy while feeling alone
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall

And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky
While others have excuses, I have my reasons why

1. You need a "shiny, happy" play list!

[VelmaD]

2. I have one that is all...

loud angry music. Not quite the same thing. Anyway, today I just hit random and that song popped up to make me maudlin. :( I'll get over it.

3. I'd Like To Suggest "CAR WASH" (Rose Royce)

Ooh ooh
You might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch
There ain't no tellin' who you might meet
A movie star or maybe even an Indian chief

(Workin')
At the car wash
Workin' at the car wash, girl
Come on and sing it with me
(Car wash)
Sing it with the feelin' ya'all
(Car wash, girl)

Ooh!

Some of the work gets kinda hard
This ain't no place to be if you planned on bein' a star
Let me tell you it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if you act the fool

At the car wash
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Talkin' about the car wash, girl
Come on, ya'all and sing it for me
(Car wash)
Oooh oooh oooh
(Car wash, girl)

(Work and work)
Well, those cars never seem to stop coming
(Work and work)
Keep those rags and machines humming
(Work and work)
My fingers to the bone
(Work)
Can't wait till it's time to go home (?)

(Hey, get your car washed today)
Fill up and you don't have to pay
Come on and give us a play
(Do the wash, right away)

(The car wash)
Talkin' 'bout the car wash
Car wash, girl
Come on, ya'all, let's sing it with me
(Car wash)
Sing it with feelin', ya'all
(Car wash, girl)

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
(Car wash)
Never seem to stop comin'
What'd I say
Keep those rags and machines hummin'
(Car wash)
Let me tell you, it's always cool . . .

4. Arwalden...you know I luv ya...

more than my luggage.

Thanks for the pick me up sweetie. *smooch*

[arwalden]

5. How Can Anyone NOT Smile And Sway And Foot-tap When They Hear Car Wash??

It's just one of those songs that everyone makes fun of... but secretly everyone enjoys it.

I know I SURE DO!!

[VelmaD]

7. Yup...like YMCA...

or Play That Funky Music White-Boy.

[kmla]

10. Hows about....

"Won't you take me to...."

"FUNKYTOWN!"

"Won't you take me to...."

"FUNKYTOWN!"

Now, just start humming the melody.....

[VelmaD]

11. Is it just me...

or does that song bring back hilarious roller-disco memories for everybody else too?

[supernova]

6. Arwalden comes with luggage now?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

13. I heard he came with serious baggage.

. Badoomsh

(ducks, cowers and hides)

[Dead_Parrot]

8. Try "Don't fear the Reaper", Blue Oyster Cult...

It won't make you feel any better, but you can listen to "Reasons Why" and think it's a song on the joys of life... :evilgrin:

[VelmaD]

9. Dude...you are quickly becoming...

one of my new favorite evil-DUers.

*snort*

[Screaming Lord Byron]

14. Watch out, Vel. He's English.

He'll only become emotionally unavailable and detatched.

:evilgrin:
(ducks and cowers)

[VelmaD]

17. Yeah well everyone knows...

I only get involved with men who are thousands of miles away, unavailable, or both. :)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

20. Is that the ultimate definition of safe sex?

[phatkatt]

[VelmaD]

Sean Watkins. :)

16. I was going to post a

"How much sad music is too much sad music?" thread the other day --

I have the same problem, I think.:shrug:

[Zomby Woof]

I find Sepultura uplifting on days like that.

[VelmaD]
