Looking Glass – Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl)
I have an irrational love for this song. I have no idea where or when I first heard, but I just absolutely adore it.

Day 11 – A song you never get tired of
30-Day Song ChallengeRay LaMontagne – Jolene
uh, this song. absolutely guts me. for as sad as it is, I love listening to it.
I found myself face-down in a ditch
Booze on my hair, blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don’t know what love means
Still don’t know what love means
Day 10 – A song that makes you sad
30-Day Song Challenge, LifeAdele – Someone Like Year
This song reminds me of an of an old loverI wish I could forget, he was my first love.
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they’re memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Day 9 – A song that makes you happy
30-Day Song ChallengeMichael Franti and Spearhead – Say Hey I Love You
Have you ever gotten a hug from Michael Franti? its the best hug in the world.
I say hey, I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love…
Day 7 – A song to drive to

I can’t hear this song and not dance!
Cut loose, footloose

Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose…
Day 4 – A song that reminds you of someone you’d rather forget
30-Day Song Challenge, LifeAlanis Morrisette – You Oughta Know
This one took me a while to think of. There is one person I wish I never met, this song reminds me of him. I haven’t listened to this song in a long time.
“You seem very well, things look peaceful
I’m not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face
How quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you fuck her?”
Day 3 – A song the reminds you of summertime
30-Day Song Challenge, Dave Matthews Band, LifeDave Matthews Band – Ants Marching
I hate to put a DMB song two days in a row but Ants Marching is my summertime jam. Reminds me a youth spent touring with a band, spending time with friends by the Columbia river.
DAY 2 – A song you like with a number in the title
30-Day Song Challenge, Dave Matthews BandDave Matthews Band – #41
When I think of the soundtrack of my life, #41 would play in the opening and ending credits.
“I used to play
For all of the loneliness
That nobody notices now”
Such a lovely little tune.
Day 1 – A song you like with a color in the title
30-Day Song ChallengeBlack – Pearl Jam
I love this song for many reasons, it’s these lyrics that always punches me in the gut.
“I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life
I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky, but why
Why, why can’t it be, oh can’t it be mine?”
Ah, unrequited love. My first love will forever live in those lyrics.
