1. Mr. Soul - Buffalo Springfield
- In this song Neil Young describes a character who unwittingly captures the imagination and interest of the group. Yes indeed the smile on my face turned to plaster, and many 'a times people have said to me "you're strange, but don't change." This is the best representation of my life on any average day, at least socially speaking.
2. Time - Pink Floyd
- This has been one of my theme songs for a long time. I'm not English in the traditional sense, but hanging on in quiet desperation is certainly my way (if I'm violantly sick I tend to just pretend that I'm okay), and I've spent most of my time kicking around on a piece of ground in my home town and wasting the hours. I am, in fact, waiting for someone or something to show me the way, and I don't tend to appreciate the magnitude of where I'm at. Many of my plans come to naught and die as half a page of scribbled lines, literally. I do have an appreciation for home and sitting by the fire, more so than people would expect since people tend to find it odd that I'd rather stay home and watch the rain instead of going out and doing things.
3. Misty Mountain Hop - Led Zeppelin
- I know this is a song about drugs, and I don't do drugs, but I might as well. You have to believe me when I tell you that I seriously get messed up just from eating a lot of food. This song for me represents something of my desires and ideals. I often come upon scenes like those described in this song in my dreams - I find myself walking through the park and encountering hippies... My mind goes into a different kind of state when I'm in a performance situation or any particularly significant social situation, I get exhilirated and go even more crazy. I think the far-out groove of this song very accurately depicts my state of mind in those situations. Furthermore my greatest desire in the whole world (well, next to the libido, maybe), would be to pack up my bags and go off to some small mountain cabin where I can be alone and do as I please for a while.
4. Dancin' Fool - Frank Zappa
- Yep, that's me. Literally speaking I do tend to dance and groove and headbang and rock out to lite Jazz or simply the music that goes on in my head. I'll be in the coffee house listening to a folk band and I'll get up and start dancing around. I don't know the single first thing about how to dance, I just move around however I please to, and it ends up a lot like Elaine from Seinfield. Figuratively speaking I am the kind of crazy fool who will get up and do crazy things. Some people despise me for it, but most people enjoy it. Also it kinda represents the primitive way I go about things. I don't give a damn about learning how this or that is done, I just do it.
5. Time To Move On - Tom Petty
Which way does love land? Which way do I go? Some say Tom Petty's Wildflowers album is the wise laments of a man coming upon deeper age. I say he's somehow managed to channel the teenage spirit. This song emotionally sums up my general confusion and hesitant fear.
6. Do I Have To Come Right Out And Say It? - Buffalo Springfield
Most typical activities and entertainments bore me now adays. So, consequently, I spend a lot of my time pining for the opposite sex. There are countless young ladies whom have won my utter affection, unbeknownst to them. A few of them even seemed to show similar interest in me, but I'm sure not going to make a move.
7. Negative Creep - Nirvana
But hey, let's face it, there's not much that is innocent about my interest in the girls. The simple fact is that I am exceedingly negative about almost everything, and I'm a creep.
8. Thrasher - Neil Young
Ah, the romantic life affirming tune... Let's just say I've got some things I need to overcome, but I blissfully refuse to overcome them. This song tells of truth and necessity, and the journey of life. Some day I'll burn my credit card for fuel and actually step out into the sun to face what's mine.
9. Consider This - Anna Nalick
This song was my theme song for a little while near the end of last school year, that was probably my most depressed period. I was completely overwhelmed and I would literally just lie on the bathroom floor because I was so tired and if I got up then I'd have stuff I was supposed to do. During that period of time I was trying to maintain an emotional stasis. It was a very strange period because I was constantly failing myself and nothing was working out for me -- except that nobody knew! My grades remained fine, for reasons I don't understand, and so it was a pretty crazy time when I was just waiting for the day when it would all fall over. When something particularly bad happened, you could say I "tripped again", that's the only time when things would get interesting for me, because I was keeping an emotional stasis whenever I could. I really didn't want to get help with it, I just wanted to accept it for what it was, just like Anna says. Dreaming did me no good because it never ever came true. I had, in a sense, come to terms with my insecurities because I just wanted to live in peace with them, not go off an edge to safety or to destruction. People were starting to push at my edges and I was ready for a fight. They'd say "it'll be okay" but I knew I was just waiting for whenever my downfalls would finally surface and my whole world would come down. ... That never actually happened, not yet at least, and now things are in a completely different atmosphere even though I'm in the essentially same spot. That was a pretty bad period, though.
10. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
This is in my top 2 awesomest songs I've ever listened to. I don't like it all that much anymore, 'cause I wore it out by listening to it non-stop, but the only other song that amazed me as much as Teen Spirit was The Battle of Evermore. I didn't understand a single word Kurt was singing in the song, I would just sing along by yelling arbitrary syllables, but then one day on a messege board someone said to me "All of Nirvana's songs are meaningless, I dare you to interpret Smells Like Teen Spirit." So... I did... and I found out that the song is very meaningful. For me it mostly comes back to the libido. I think the main point of the song is that the teenage years are supposed to be all glorious and wonderful, many older people have confessed envy for my position in life, but in fact it's somewhat of a hell whole. I'm worse at what I do best, and for this gift I feel blessed. You better load up on guns because your peers are pissed off and ready to fight. Entertainment is all I'm after. I do indeed feel stupid and contagious whenever I happen to be honestly enjoying myself, contagious meaning that it feels like your inner-most thoughts are just radiating out of your body into everyone else's head. I actually do wonder why I bother with social stuff sometimes, it is indeed hard to find what you're after. And of course when I'm pondering this deep stuff I often get lost in my own head and have to so "oh screw it, never mind, I don't get it. Oh well."
Although those selections focus more on the physical and not so much on the mental, and the mental is probably the greater of the two in my case.... There's more I could say, this isn't a definitive song list, just some ideas. There's probably a lot more to me that isn't being mentioned.
