Sarà Perché Ti Amo - Richi e Poveri
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 04 - A song that makes you sad

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
This song always managed to get me all choked up. I'm thinking about the inevitability of growing up and dealing with real problems. The lust to see the world and scared of it at the same time. Also somehow reminds me of the relationship between me and my father.

Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone

Yea, one of those relationships that was doom from the start.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brighton Beach - Telepopmusik
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait in Vain - Bob Marley
This song reminds me of the night I had when I was backpacking across Thailand. I made friends with the most wonderful people i've ever met. And one night in Pai, Thailand, we came across this bar with a very good accoustic music and had dinner and drinks there. I was feeling tired before we go in because we just arrived in that town that very day by hitchhiking on the back of pickup trucks, but when i sat down and listen to the music I instantly feel so good and so happy. It was a good night. (PS: I know this one is a cover by Kings of Convenience, just because the mood suits perfectly with the one I had that night.)

"Steven A Douglas was a great debater, but Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator"

Day 09 - A song that you can dance to

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yellow - Coldplay
Remember when is song was played everywhere everyday? I don't hate this song, there's still some part of it that I thought was quite pure and beautiful. Maybe because I heard it so many times that I feel like I'm over it. But hate? no.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, this depends. Sometimes when i'm sad I want to be cheered up, and in some rare case, I want to wallow in my misery and just be sad for a while. When I want to feel better, I listened to:
Downtown - Petula Clark

-
and if i want to have a pity party instead, I listened to some Owen, because he really knows how to bum me out, listening to his whole album will make me a teensy bit suicidal:
One of these Days - Owen

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 27 - A song that you wish you had written

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two - The Antlers
The saddest lyric I've ever come across. Devastatingly beautiful.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 28 - A song that changed your music taste in some way

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If She Wants Me - Belle and Sebastian
What the hell did I listen to before B&S?
This band changed my life for the better.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 29 - A song from your childhood

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pink Triangle - Weezer
I listen to this song accidentally while playing some random mixtape I found in my brother's room. I think I listen to this when I was in elementary school or maybe just started junior high, those times when peoples idea of pirating music was to record songs directly from the radio. English is not my native language so at that time I had little to no idea what the song is about, but I love the music so much. Listening to this song right now makes me smile because it is kinda funny (well, until it happens to you.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 30 - Your favorite song from last year

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellhole Ratrace - Girls
Still is my favorite song. This music video is heartachingly beautiful, the words are very simple and almost like a cliche, but there's something so lovely about it. Describes my feeling about life right now perfectly. I listen to this song so many times, but still, I can't get enough of it.
