30-Day Music Challenge: Days 24-26

Man! I fell off again due to holiday prepping and celebrating! But I'm just gonna pick up where I left off...

Day 24 sez "a song by a band you wish was still together".


"Bullet With Butterfly Wings"--Smashing Pumpkins
Yes-- I realise the band is still a thing, but it is NOT the original lineup...
(EDIT 12-2-18: Okay, the band is now 3/4 the original lineup and that's acceptable. Fun fact: I was supposed to see them this summer but didn't get there! Free tix and everything! Great regret. (T_T) )




 Day 25: "a song you like by an artist no longer living".




"The Man Who Sold The World"--Nirvana.

Yes, there are two surviving members, but neither the band nor Kurt are no longer with us.


Day 26: "a song that makes you want to fall in love".

I'm already there, so...

 

"The Greatest Romance Ever Sold"--Prince.

I'm so happy I got it right this time.
He is, too.

30-Day Music Challenge: Day Twenty-Three

Hey...
Very happy because my loved one is home. Egg nog and coquitos for everyone who is an adult!

So, a song that I think everyone should listen to...

How about one of mine?




This is called "Salvage The Run". It's from my second album, due to be re-released soon.

30-Day Music Challenge: Days Twenty-Twenty-Two

Gomenasai. I've fallen off because my loved one was in hospital.

Day 20 is "a song that has many meanings for you".

This is tricky...



"Only Happy When It Rains"--Garbage.

It always struck me as a bit ironic. I mean, nobody likes being depressed, but sometimes some of those with super long-term clinical depression are so familiar with it they know what to expect and it almost feels comfortable. It's hard to explain if you haven't been there.
Also, people just always thought this was my life anyway.

Day 21 is "a song you like with a person's name in the title".




"Maria"--Green Day.

Day 22 is "a song that moves you forward".




"Dammn Baby"--Janet Jackson.

30-Day Music Challenge: Day Nineteen

Hi...hope you're having a good time wherever you are, GNOtaku.

Today asks for "a song that makes you think about life".

This song kind of did, recently:





"Here Comes A Thought"--Steven Universe, written by Rebecca Sugar.

When I first heard this, I was in floods because it resonated with me so hard.

30-Day Music Challenge: Day Eighteen

Today's prompt says "a song from the year you were born".

I'll give one from the year I was reborn, since life really began after then for me anyway.
(Okay, maybe it was released a little earlier, but it charted that year.)





Finger Eleven--"Paralyzer".

30-Day Music Challenge: Day Fifteen

Hey!
Still trying to take it easy...but haven't forgotten this music challenge!

A song that I like that's a cover by another band.
How about this?



Orgy-- "Blue Monday".

I was just talking to my daughter about how awesome this song is...and about how we love both versions, but this one rips.

30-Day Music Challenge: Day Eleven

Wow--actually got to Day Eleven. Yay, and stuff!

Today: a song you never get tired of.

This is pretty easy...




Mystery Skulls-- "Ghost".

I tend to repeat this one a lot when it comes up on my iPod.

30-Day Music Challenge: Day Six

Doing this today almost slipped my mind! Whoopsie.

The prompt sez: "a song that makes you want to dance".

I have a lot of those, but I will share the first one that comes to mind:





Janet Jackson ft. Missy Elliott-- "Burnitup!".

When I first heard this song, I was soooo into it. I still have to play it like eighty-five times in a row when it comes up on my iPod.

I kind of fell off dancing for a variety of reasons, a lot of them having to do with feeling extremely insecure about myself and a whole bunch of shxt taking its toll on me. Watching people dance sometimes still messes with me. But... I have come to the conclusion that since it was something that made me happy... I should probably revisit it.

30-Day Music Challenge: Day Two

So here's Day Two of the 30-Day Music Challenge.

A song you like with a number in the title...

I have just the one.

Joy Zipper--"1".

This song really speaks to me. It kind of reminds me of how it feels to just try and get along being myself and the isolation I might feel but then I feel the...dare I say comfort?-- in knowing that I can just be the individual that I am, regardless of how people might feel about it.

"People come and go/but you're the one..."
