~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY?" YOU SAY?
Shore Leave --Tom Waits
Never enough time, and no money to enjoy the time I get. Accurate. Thanks a lot, Tom.
2. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
Make Me Love You -- Pivot
This song has no lyrics. Just a relentless beat and a trumpet. But that title? Yeah.
3. WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
Lag Time -- Ani DiFranco
"There's really no hope for me and that three-second rule. Somethin' gets dropped, and still I'm the slowest damn fool. Slow to realize what's really going on. Slow to know in a moment who or what has gone wrong. I wanna tighten down on the lag time." Between that and the fight I had today, I have no comment. Except "my eventual 20/20, arms crossed, tapping her toes."
4. HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
Poor Old Dirt Farmer -- Levon Helm
"Oh the poor old dirt farmer, he's lost all his corn
And now where's the money to pay off his loan?"
This is scarily true.
5. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
Old Blevins -- Tom Rush
"But I know that a man and woman's lives were somehow changed
By a loathsome, toothless geezer, incoherent and deranged
And my memories of that evening fuel an inner, mounting fear
That I might become old Blevins anywhere that they sell beer."
Don't become a bitter geezer. It seems doable. Fewer dirt farmer days, please.
6. WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
What Would You Say? -- Dave Matthews Band
"Knock knock on the door-
Who's it for? There's nobody in here."
"Look in the mirror my friend."
I need the constant reminder.
7. WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
One Sweet Love -- Sara Bareilles
"No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do I'll open up
The moon for you
Just come down soon"
I haven't spoken to my friends in forever, but I know they love me. They call me when they need me; we're just too far apart.
8. WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
You're Beautiful -- James Blunt
Pedophile wannabes. Nice. I think I'll stick with the song title and refrain from interpreting lyrics in this case.
9. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OFTEN?
Put Your Records On -- Corinne Bailey Rae
"Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down"
I often think about nothing terribly deep.
10. WHAT IS 2 + 2?
If He Tries Anything -- Ani DiFranco
I protect my friends is the simplest answer to the simplest equation. This was the theme song for my best friend and I in college.
11. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
Rockin' Chair -- The Band
This song is about a guy being too old to sail the seven seas, and wanting to go home to the South to hang out on the front porch in a rocking chair with his best friend. This is so true I feel like crying.
12. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Knuckledown -- Ani DiFranco
"I just gotta knuckledown and be okay with this." No comment.
13. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
Manhole -- Ani DiFranco
"I'm holding here a book
Notable, but not the greatest
Stolen for me by the latest
In a long line of thieves
And I'm just about to drop it
Down that manhole of memories
When I realize it doesn't bother me
And heartache not so dire
Cuz I looked up to see integrity
Finally won over desire"
Really the whole song works for me. This is a weird, weird meme. And while I do have a lot of Ani DiFranco on the harddrive, she's WAY overrepresented here.
14. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
Unbound -- Suzanne Vega
"I was once
Bound at the root
Confined with twine
Both mind and foot
I cut it loose
And now am free
As anything
Alive can be"
Free. Just free.
15. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
I Wanted to Tell You -- Matthew Sweet
"Do just what you want to
I think you're right
I do what I want to too"
16. WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
Launch Yourself (Original Version) -- Adem
"I guess you thought you'd start
A new clean sheet and heart
From when you lifted off
I watched you disappear"
A spectacular breakup song. Hmm. It will be the anti-wedding, and we'll vow to hate each other.
17. WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Get Ready -- The Temptations
"So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come."
HAH. This goes with the death plans from "If He Tries Anything": "For ten square blocks, they're gonna know I died. And all the goddesses'll come up to the ripped screen door. And they'll say 'What do you want dear?' And I'll say 'I want inside.'"
18. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
Love Ain't For Keeping -- The Who
"The seeds are bursting,
The Spring is seeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping"
19. WHAT IS YOUR SECRET VICE?
4th of July -- Ani DiFranco
"we cut out the small talk
go right to the way things are
he showed me his squirrel skull
I told him I locked myself out of my car"
Heh. Oh good, I needed a laugh. I suppose being honest with children would be considered a vice by some. I have gotten in trouble for it. ("No, you don't shoot yourself like that. That angle's no good. What? Oh, he's not gonna DO it.") (Or maybe the vice I've revealed is all the damn Ani DiFranco.)
20. WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?
Never Gonna Come Back Down -- BT
"You understand?
You know what I'm saying?
Right on to the people up front,
Right on to the people in the back,
Right on to the bartender,
Right on to the waitresses,
Right on to the DJ,
Right on,
Right on to the lady with the beer over there in the pink skirt,
Right on to all them mmmmmm English girls named Charisse...
Fucking blonde English girls with ghetto names you know what I'm saying?
I love that shit."
Yeah. I love that shit.
