Music meme!
The song-letter meme, gacked from Xyn. Comment to get a letter, then upload 5 (well, I did 10 because I'm indecisive, and that was AFTER I chose to ignore all songs from video games or starting with 'the') songs you like starting with that letter.
Missing by Everything But The Girl
"And I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain" ~ I've always loved this song, every since I was a very young child and it was played on the radio. Now it's also a song I associate with one of my original characters, but it's just really pretty.
Mouth by Merril Bainbridge
"I jump on you, you jump on me, you push me out and even though you know I love you, I'd be inclined to slap you in the mouth" ~ Ji sent this to me a while ago. It's got a fun boppy tune and I like it and again, I associate it with an original character.
My Favourite Game by The Cardigans
"And I'm losing my favourite game, you're losing your mind again, I'm losing my baby, losing my favourite game" ~ I love the Cardigans, and this is one of those songs I got attached to when I was younger that I recently found again. It's got a cool beat, and I love the chorus.
Material Girl by Madonna
"We are living in a material world, and I am a material girl" ~ Who DOESN'T know this song? Seriously.
Mary by The Scissor Sisters
"Mary, you shouldn't let her make you mad, you are the best you can, and Mary, after all the pain is gone, I'm always going to live to be your man" ~ I got horribly addicted to the Scissor Sisters at around the same time my brother did, because he brought the album down to Canberra and told me to listen to it. They're like 80s revival, with all different styles of 80s music; Mary is kind of sad and slow, very pretty, beautiful piano. Think Bowie. Or maybe The Long & Winding Road by the Beatles.
Music Is The Victim by The Scissor Sisters
"And I beg and I scream and I curse and I cry, and the music is the victim and so am I" ~ More Scissor Sisters. This one is very different, very dancey. I had a conversation with Rohan about all the musical influence on the various tracks, but I'm having a mental blank at the moment on who best this song's style is reminiscent of. It's very cool, though. Great beat.
Maybe Tomorrow Is A Better Day by Poets Of The Fall
"This day will die tonight and there ain't no exception, why should I wait for nothing to wait for? Let me love you in this fable, hold your heart in my hand, our time is waiting right outside your door, and maybe tomorrow is a better day" ~ Cori sent this one. Love the guitar and the strength of the chorus. Another one I associate with an original character.
My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) by Neil Young
There's two versions of this song, an acoustic guitar version and an electric guitar version. This is the acoustic one-- the electric version is called Hey Hey My My (Into The Black). I love this song, it's just... gorgeous. Again, I first heard it when my brother got heavily into Neil Young.
My Father's Gun by Elton John
My Life by Billy Joel
I procrastinated and now it's late and I can't be bothered saying anything about the last two. The end!
I am very tired, I am constantly very tired, catching up uni work is a bitch and it's made even more of one by an unfortunate readdiction to smallville fic. It's cyclic. Sometimes that fandom just sucks me back into its gaping maw and then there are so many, like, full-on 100K word fics that are also quality that I never get my life back until I burn myself out on them. So I'm not writing at all. Though I am playing Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon. Mostly I'm levelling up. See again the not helping on the catching up of uni. I am getting there, but it's slow going and I missed all my lectures last week. SIGH.
Let's see. Have a laptop. Have bruises all over my hands and arms from the bloodtests and the drip. Am back to eating dairy products as of yesterday. Going back to uni tomorrow. Have Japanese quizzes to make up. Did last week's law reading; well, I did the International Law while in hospital. Did the Legal Theory yesterday and Friday. The first two articles were okay, the third one made me want to bash my head into a wall repeatedly to escape the pain. I swear it wasn't even English, it was such wanky bullshit.
Haven't done tomorrow's reading. So tired. AUGH. Am so going to bed now!
