This is a hard one for me, because it involves deep analysis of my mood and a search through the library of songs I know, which I consider quite large.
One interesting thing I will note is that I’ve found in recent years that the song in my head changes automatically with my mood, and reflects it. When I can’t get a song out of my head, I find that it’s usually because I’m stuck in a certain mood and I need to change my mood to change the song.
As of right now I have “Long Live” by Taylor Swift going through my head (don’t laugh…too hard), and I noticed that it started a few minutes ago after Jenn got home from work. I’m pretty sure the lyrics don’t really reflect my mood, though.
Before that, I was sitting at the computer and the dogs were outside playing, leaving me in a peacful mood. I had “The Answer” by Richie Sambora going through my head. For those who may not be fully up on him, he’s the lead guitarist from Bon Jovi. His first of two solo albums was apparently released in 1994, and I recently downloaded it off of Amazon and fell in love with it.
The lyrics to “The Answer” don’t really reflect my mood, because I’m not entirely sure what they’re about…I think he’s intended to have a deeper meaning, which is lost on me for the time being. But the instruments are heavy with acoustic guitar, without any drums and it’s just a very peaceful song. I’ll add that I just love how none of his songs ever made the radio, but I get treated to treasures by the likes of Katy Perry almost every morning when I shave.
So, I guess I better find a song…Ok, to keep people slightly more up to date, tax day is coming and we got hit pretty hard by Uncle Sam. We’ve found ways to cope by making some changes until our savings can recover, but it hasn’t necessarily been easy for the past couple of weeks. I think obstacles like this can really show how well two people can work together, and Jenn and I continue to prove how perfect we are for each other.
Really, there’s a lot of detail I could go into here, but I’m straying from the topic so I’ll save all this for another post. The reason I mentioned all that is because it’s been on my mind a lot lately, so to be overly dramtic I’ve chosen two Bon Jovi classics whose lyrics are somewhat accurate: “Livin’ On A Prayer” and “Someday I’ll Be Saturday Night”, although I admit to being overly dramatic in my choices.
Ok, I guess those songs are intended to reflect my life right now and not my mood, but I’ve given like four songs plus an album, and I’m really having trouble doing anything but ramble off topic. My intent, though, since I was having trouble with the topic, was to show another little window into my mind so hopefully I’ve accomplished that and you’ve enjoyed it!
And if you’re unfamiliar with any of the songs I’ve listed, go check them out on your music webstore of choice!
