This is great. I am so much less irritated by music now. Here's a song I like quite a bit. It's by ani.

Superhero

sleep walking through
the all-nite drug store
baptized in fluorescent light
i found religion in the greeting card aisle
now i know hallmark was right
and every pop song on the radio
is suddenly speaking to me
art may imitate life
but life imitates t.v.
'cuz you've been gone
exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and let's just say
that things look different now
different in so many ways
i used to be a superhero
no one could touch me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stubmled into
and now look at me
i am just like everbody else
if i was dressed in my best defenses
would you agree to meet me for coffee
if i did my tricks with smoke and mirrors
would you still know which one was me
if i was naked and screaming
on your front lawn
would you turn on the light
and come down
screaming, there's the asshole
who did this to me
stripped me of my power
stripped me down
i used to be a superhero
no one could hurt me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stubmled into
and now look at me
i am just like everybody else
yeah you've been gone
exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and now i'm a different person
different in so many ways
tell me what did you like about me
and don't say my strength and daring
'cuz now i think i'm at your mercy
and it's my first time
for this kind of thing
i used to be a superhero
i would swoop down and save me
from myself
but you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everybody else




There appears to be a new song that I can listen to. I'm stuck on it now. Been this way for about a week. It's by Morphine and it is The Saddest Song.

The Saddest Song

On my first day back my first day back in town
My first day my first day back in town
The clouds up above they were humming our song
Humming humming our song
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me
I set my course sailed away from shore
Steady steady as she goes
I crash in the night two worlds collide
But when two worlds collide no one survives no one survives and
The reddest of reds the bluest of blues
The saddest of songs I'll sing for you and
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me come and get me in my sleep



This is interesting. There is only one song I seem to be able to listen too now that doesn't irritate me. It is No Woman, No Cry by the Fugees. There are a lot of "oh"s and "ah"s in this one.

No Woman, No Cry

A dedication to all the refugees worldwide
One time say, say, say

I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Brooklyn.
Observing the crookedness as it mingled with the good people we meet.
Good friends we had,
Good friends we've lost along the way.
In this great future you can't forget your past, So dry your tears
I say And to my peeps who passed away,
No woman, no cry, no woman no cry, say say say.
Hey little sister don't shed no tears
No woman no cry say say say.
I remember when we used to rock in a project yard in Jersey,
And little Georgie would make the firelight,
As stolen cars passed through the night
And then we'd hit the corner store for Roots, paper, and brew.
My drink's my only remedy
For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone Shorty,
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright,
Fugees come to the dance tonight, everything's gonna be alright,
O everything's gonna be alright,
The gun man's in the house tonight,
But everything's gonna be alright.

Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah

No woman no cry, no woman no cry.
Hey, little sister, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry say say say.
I remember when we used to sit in a government yard in Trenchtown.

The hypocrites as they mingled with the good people we meet.
Good friends we had Oh good friends we've lost
Along the way hey.
In this great future,
You can't forget your past so dry your tears I say
And no woman no cry. No woman no cry say say say.
Hey, little sistser, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry and to my peeps who passed away

Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah
Oh ah oh ah




Here's a song that I have been obsessed with for about half a year. There were some times last year (while still at Mudd) when I listened to this song several times in a row for hours. It's Annie Lennox's version of an older song by The Lover Speaks called No more I love yous. Honestly, it took me until a few days ago to really figure out what this song was talking about. (these aren't the exact lyrics, but they are close enough.)

No more I love yous

I used to be a lunatic from the gracious days
I used to be woebegone and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed for you to see
But now...
I don't find myself bouncing home
Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry

No more I love yous
The language is leaving me
No more I love yous
Changes are shifting outside the words

I used to have demons in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire
So many monsters
But now...
I don't find myself bouncing along
Whistling my conscience to make me cry

No more I love yous
The language is leaving me
No more I love yous
The language is leaving me in silence
No more I love yous
Changes are shifting outside...the words

"Everybody would be really crazy
And the words would come...
And you know what, Mommy?
Everybody was being really crazy"
"The monsters are crazy
There are monsters outside"

No more I love yous
The language is leaving me
No more I love yous
The language is leaving me in silence
No more I love yous
Changes are shifting outside the words
Outside the words
No more I love yous...
Changes are shifting outside the words
Outside the words




I wasn't as obsessed with this song as Justin Radick was. But back in the day this was a good one to make anyone depressed. It's called Empty Box and it's by Morphine. I rediscovered it this summer.

Empty Box

tore open a package it was an empty box
no meaning to me just an empty box
sender was a woman
sender was a woman
she said she's sending me everything that i
i i never gave her
before
she said fill it up and send it back
fill it up and send it back
so i sent her back an empty box
a big mistake, sent back an empty box
half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
and half insane
just a sound

i crossed into a valley
a valley so dark
that when i look back i can't see where i begin
i can't see my hands
i don't even know if my eyes are open
in the morning i was by the sea
and i swam out as far as i could swim
until i was too tired to swim anymore
and then i floated and tried to get my strength back

and then an empty box came floating by
an empty box and I crawled inside
half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
and half insane
just a sound
in the night
half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
and half insane
just a sound
