Day 21- Your favorite song
Running on Empty by Jackson Browne
Day 20- The last song in your itunes
It’s titled Track 20 because it was a song given to me on a mixtape but its Smile Like you Mean it by The Killers. I think this was on a mix CD from Tom Doherty
Day 19- The first song alphabetically in your itunes
OAM’s Blues by Aaron Goldberg…this song came with my first computer and has been carried through to this one. I don’t particularly LOVE it nor have I listened to it much. It’s a shitty drum, upper range piano piece. Not my thing
Day 18- A song that you love but rarely listen to
every song ever. i listen to all songs too much and all not enough. sometimes i listen to a song too much and then cant listen to it ever again. its sad because its songs that i really love. sometimes i associate them with memories that should be tucked away. i think its always music that draws me back. doesnt let me grow out of myself
Day 17- A song that makes you want to dance
Sway my head and hair and body or mosh or bop to songs: Dance Tonight-McCartney, I’m Shipping up to Boston- Dropkick Murphys, Somewhere over the rainbow- Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, The Middle- Jimmy Eat World, Cecilia- Simon and Garfunkel (danced with my dad to this song way back when in the kitchen),
Twist and bounce and shimmy and songs:...
Day 16- A song that has made you cry
Sometime Around Midnight- The Airborne Toxic Event
Day 15- A song that you love singing along to
I have so so so many
Fun song?- Longest Time- Billy Joel
Song I can’t help but sing the bass part to over and over????- Stand by me-Ben E. King
every beatles song ever
and right now I’m singing along to You Really Got a Hold on me sung by Zooey Deschanel
Day 14- A song that reminds you of your boyfriend
I just listened to a few of them that remind me of him most, but went with the one that I felt deep down in my gut. Champagne Supernova- Oasis. There are better songs out there and definitely many other songs that remind me of him, but when I hear this I think of the greatest times in our friendship and relationship. I picture and feel them...
Day 13- A song that reminds you of a former friend
I can go so many ways with this. Let’s be safe and stick with someone that’s alright in my book so that I won’t have such a horrid thing to say about the song. I’m going to say Babe I’m Gonna Leave You- Led Zeppelin. I remember when I was first learning to play guitar with my best friend at the time and we were...
I want to escape somewhere so far and distant that I can taste the sun. Theres no where close that I can do that. I just want to stand outside and feel my skin tingling and the vitamin D coursing through my body. There’s so much gray in Binghamton. So much. Everything is brown or gray or black or shit colored. Theres no greens or blues or reds and oranges. I feel like my happiness is...

Day 12- The last song you heard
With or Without You - U2
God damnit
Day 11- A song on the soundtrack of your favorite movie:
Running on Empty- Jackson Browne, featured in Forrest Gump
This song plays in the movie but doesn’t exist on the soundtrack. This song carries a lot of emotion and meaning for me
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up...
Day 10- A song by your favorite band:
This is always a hard decision for me to just go ahead and choose my favorite band because I have quite a few bands that I absolutely love. But all in all, the Beatles are really the bane of my existence and at the top of my charts. One of my favorite songs by them is “Oh! Darling” Love it love it love it<3

Day 9 - A song that makes you hopeful
Time of Times- Badly Drawn Boy.
It just makes me feel like im going to get up and do something amazing, or like the day is going to be alright. I also feel like that with Steal my Kisses- Ben Harpur. many songs do that but I havent felt really empowered in a while. Sometimes over listening to a song kills its pow and pop…

Day 7- A song that reminds you of the past summer
Summer Skin- Death Cab for Cutie
Heres the lyrics, no need to explain
“Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast The water’s warm and children swim And we frolicked about in our summer skin I don’t recall a single care Just greenery and humid air Then Labor day came and went And we shed what was left...
“you’re immature and you get upset over everything”

“you’re a baby”
“youre a bitch”
“you have a fucking problem”
“fuck you”
Day 6- A song that reminds you of a best friend
You really got a hold on me- She & him.
But many remind me of Amanda<3
