The whole of yesterday and today I have been listening to my music player on random, and one after the other all that is playing is some sad, mopey romantic song or the other. I don’t WANT to hear any of that, because it is jarring my mission of not thinking, but every time I press ‘next’ another stupid song starts playing.
Why does every song nowadays have to have some deep intellectual lyrics with soothing romantic music that make you think and be philosophical man? Tejas says that when people are in a particular mood, they want to listen to music that reflects the mood they’re in. I think he’s wrong. When I was walking the long distance from my house to my friend Lara’s house, no doubt I was sad and hurting and moping, but I did not want to listen to Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk singing “Play me a song, your newest one/Please leave your taste on my tongue”, or friggin John Mayer (I love him with all I’ve got but COME ON!) singing a love song for no one about how half of his damn heart’s got a grip on some situation while he’s slow dancing in a burning room. I did not want to know that all Martina Mcbride needs is her love, her valentine. And then there was Jack Johnson with his combination of words that he can’t put on the back of a postcard and asking me if I remembered the first time we met because he sure did. Colbie Caillat was falling and dropping so quickly for some guy, that she probably should have kept it to herself until she knew me better and Owl City was obsessing about his fireflies. Of course he’s not weird because he hates goodbyes, no one LIKES them. He really should think before he writes these goddamned lyrics. Even the Weepies - while they are an awesome band, I didn’t want to hear them talk about waking up and wishing they were dead as the world continued to spin madly on.
Whatever happened to the songs that make no sense when I needed them? – The songs that have lyrics like they were written just for fun, not for the real love of music or out of a real need to express. I didn’t have most of them on my play list, I realized. Because, I mean, they’re so silly and stupid right? I obviously gave preference to the “good” songs when I was putting them onto my player. Bad move. Because while I was walking for over an hour, I was stuck with the good, even great songs, when all I wanted to listen to was Metrostation asking me if I would do it like this if she does it like that. I wanted to listen to Robyn describe her style as “the bom-diddi-bom di-dang di-dang diggi-diggi”. I wanted Soulja Boy to crank that and Sean Kingston to call 911. I wanted to know all that Scotty didn't. I missed Kesha singing about how she woke up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy and I missed Alexandra Burke singing about the bad boys that catch her eye. I even missed Akon singing about that sexy bitch, a song that I cannot STAND otherwise.
SHIT. What is this world coming to?

The world isn't coming to much... its just going around in circles like it always has... you just need to sort your music and make sure you have something for all situations!
LOL! :)
Muah.
Now I feel really bad recommending that Weepies song. Ok try this: Mr. Blue Sky by ELO, Town called Malice by The Jam, Im Walking on Sunshine by Katrina & The Waves, Do you believe in magic by The Lovin Spoonful and Mr Bass Man by Johnny Cymbal. These are really good examples of the silliness you crave, and are actually GOOD songs and not trash. None of them are relationship based songs, and theyre all happy and have no deep meaning. Trys thems. Please dont resort to Akon. I beg of you.
LMAO! This was so funny! But no dissing Owl City missy.Oh no.No rag doll for joo then.
