I wish Facebook didn't suck so much so I could post this over there...
Anyways...I built out this playlist in youtube. Will be doing it monthly, I think.
The purpose of the playlist was to allow me to download it, go for a hike, and get my cry on...then get back to life.
I need to cry lately. I've got SO MUCH to deal with. But I do know that purging a little helps. So about 5 of these songs turn on the water works for me. 5 of them pump me up, and make me want to conquer the world. Here's a breakdown:
We the People - Tribe Called Quest - Love the Ramen noodle lyric. Love the scenes with Phife. I found that Tribe is one of those groups that bring all the people in the plant together.
Arcade Fire - Creature Comfort - Like I said last entry...loving the new album. Love the lyrics. Gets me pumped.
Bruce Cockburn - Last Night of the World - Yes, cockburn. a holdover from my old christian job. Loved this song, but will be over it by next month. Guy just played Boulder. Kinda wanted to go, but broke as fuck.
Van Morrison - Days Like This - love van morrison. Have him as a Pandora Station. This is an upbeat song to remind me that we're in the shit.
James Taylor - Fire and Rain - This is when I start to lose it. Fire and Rain is kinda a bipolar anthem. I've been dealing with it a lot with minor success. This song helps me remember that there's some sort of hope.
Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey - I've been trying to slow down/stop drinking...with a good amount of success. This song reminds me that I'm not the only one struggling.
Bruce Cockburn - Wondering Where the Lions are - another one of his that I love. I equate the lions to all the big, bad thoughts that can hurt you if you're not prepared for them.
Neil Young - Harvest Moon - I just like this song. I believe someone plays the broom. The broom > A Cowbell.
The Barr Brothers - Let there be Horses - I love the Barr Brothers. Loved the Slip, love these guys. I saw them play their hearts out at RPI for about 6 people. This song has this great lyric that hits me..."As if God and the Devil struck a deal / saying “You can have this one / after I’m done”.
Warren Zevon - Keep me in your heart - This is when I start crying again. It reminds me of dad. Its meant to.
Cat Stevens - Father and Son - another Dad song. I wanted to play this at his funeral. He loved Harry Chapin's "cat's in the cradle"...but this song is the one that hits me and makes me want to play an acoustic guitar and cry.
fun. - Carry On - I fucking cried to Fun. the other day. The "I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back" is one of my favorite lyrics ever. The whole song reminds me to...fuck, Carry On.
Tide Turns - Phish - The new album is 50/50. This is one of those songs that is upbeat, but still makes me cry. Trey has gone through some shit the past decade...much like myself. Battled substance abuse problems. Lost his sister. Almost lost his job a few times. haha. Anyways, this one makes me believe that once I get my shit together...and even if i don't, I'll still have friends who will be there to support me. yep.
LCD Soundsystem - All my Friends - I just love how this song builds. And builds. And the lyrics are perfect for this 40 year old dad over here. I even cried to this one. If I cry while listening to a song, its making the cut these days.
Daft Punk - Lose Yourself to Dance - Love the Neo-Funk. Love how horrible the video is. The Library had Random Access Memories, and I ripped the whole album. Gets me pumped.
