Ever been in a particular mood, sorta melancholy, sorta happy, jsut kind of mixed and matched everywhere, not really knowing what to do, or who you want to talk to? So, you throw on the music list and see what catches your eye, which songs would make you feel a bit more normal? Well, I am jsut writing to say that I've finally hit the perfect list for this particular moment, and honestly, if I wasn't writing this, I would jsut be lying on the couch listening to this particular mix, probably singing along, horribly off-key and not knowing half the words. What a great time I'm having!!!

Here's the list, if you ever get in this kind of a funk, and jsut need to chill out.

Sister hazel- Your Winter
Tracy Chapman- Fast Car
Avril lavigne- Anything but Ordinary
Incubus- Warning
Circ- Destroy She said
Dashboard Conressional- Hands Down
Cyndi Lauper- She Bop
Greenday(?)-Closing Time
Pardon Me- Incubus
LeeAnn Rymes- Right Kind of Wrong
Loreena McKennit- Mummer's Dance
Portis Head- Glorybox
Queen- The Show Must Go On
Pretenders- Stand by You
Sheryl Crow- Steve McQueen
Stroke 9- Little Black Backpack

A little old, a little new, something fast, something slow, soft and sinuous, loud and hard, one of the best lists I've found, yet. *jams out to Queen, again*

Sometimes, you can jsut feel what they're saying, you know exactly how they feel, why they sing what they sing. Music is a release, it tells the story you can't put words to, gives you a soaring voice to scream out your fury and ecstasy. Music gives you the key to limits you never knew were there, opening the door to whatever's outside the box. Fly, and never look back.
