SONG HELP!
The other day I was driving in to work, thinking about how badly I did not want to be. (That's another blog entirely). I was also feeling pretty down about a bunch of recent crap. I was listening to 88.5. It ok most of the time, but the DJ this particular morning was on a shitty music kick. I mean 3 songs in a row that I just could not stomach. I had to try something else. I switched to 970. Ugh, I want to hear some intelligent talk and I get stuck with Ted Webb and Jack Harris. That's not going to work on this day. I switch over to 93.3. I listened to the mindless dribble that is the MJ morning show for the rest of the drive.
I thought to myself that on days like these I need a CD. Not just any CD mind you, something that's inspirational. I kept playing "I Shall Not Walk Alone" by the Blind Boys of Alabama over & over in my head, wishing I was really listening to it. It would just be nice to arrive a bit inspired to my desk job once in a while. I started to daydream about what I would include on this CD, and sadly, I'm stuck. I've come up with the following list. Take into account the messages in the lyrics, and emotions meant to be evoked by these songs, and let me know what needs to be added. Thanks!
"I Shall Not Walk Alone" The Blind Boys of Alabama
"I Won't Back Down" Tom Petty
"Here Comes the Sun" The Beatles
"Fearless" Pink Floyd
"One Hundred Years" Five for Fighting
"Walking in Memphis" Mark Cohn
"I Hope You Dance" Lee Ann Womack
"Midnight Rider" The Allman Brothers Band
"Drive" Incubus
"Like a Rolling Stone" Bob Dylan
"The Remedy" Jason Mraz
"At the Bottom of Everything" Bright Eyes
"All These Things That I've Done" The Killers
"End of the Line" The Traveling Wilburys
"Fall Back Down" Rancid
(Your song here...)
