musical randomness



i've given myself 5 more minutes to de-stress from the day before i start working again, so i'll do this. feel free to interpret. i'll put my own comments in parenthesis.

Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle.
Say the following questions aloud, and press play.
Use the song title as the answer to the question.
NO CHEATING.

How does the world see me?
"Road to Joy" - Bright Eyes (well i'm on the road to joy, don't know that i emanate it so well...)

Will I have a happy life?
"Cry" - Angie Aparo (how's that for a miserable prediction?)

What do my friends really think of me?
"Beauty and the Mess" - Nickel Creek (i am quite a mess, and i hope my photos and music are beautiful)

Do people secretly lust after me?
"All the Wild Horses" - Ray LaMontagne (i'm a noble steed!)

How can I make myself happy?
"Your Star" - The All-American Rejects ("jason" is a popular brand of telescopes)

What should I do with my life?
"Tell Me Why" - Los Lonely Boys (i do tell kids why to do things an awful lot, and try not to say "because i said so")

Why must life be so full of pain?
"Peaches and Cream" - John Butler Trio (peaches and cream would definitely give me the runs)

Will I ever have children?
"40 Acres (live)" - Caedmon's Call (yes, yes you will, on a 40 acre farm, with a pond... which means i'll come up with money somehow)

Will I die happy?
"All Around the World" - Oasis (i’ll do lots of traveling?)

What is some good advice for me?
"Older Chests" - Damien Rice ("older chests reveal themselves like a crack in the wall, starting small, and grow in time, we all seem to need the help of someone else, to mend that shelf with too many books, read me your favorite line")

What is happiness?
"Heavy" - Collective Soul (that's funny, i always feel pretty light when i'm happy)

What's my favorite fetish?
"My Stupid Mouth" - John Mayer (i don't know that it would qualify as a fetish, but whatever)

How will I be remembered?
"Mudfootball (for Moe Lerner)" - Jack Johnson ("we used to laugh a lot, but only because we thought that everything good always would remain. nothing gonna change there's no need to complain")

*so i did it twice out of curiosity

How does the world see me?
"time bomb" - dayroom (i hope i'm not that volatile)

Will I have a happy life?
"feelin' the same way" - norah jones (i think that means "pretty much, yeah")

What do my friends really think of me?
"can't get with it" - dayroom (haha, i feel like that right now, there's not enough time for everything, and i waste time)

Do people secretly lust after me?
"when the pin hits the shell" - drive-by truckers (like they lust after shooting me?)

How can I make myself happy?
"my love will follow you" - dierks bentley (yeah... gotta find someone to follow i guess. course, this is a breakup song, so maybe i already did that a few times. i will become happy by stalking! thank you for clarifying that mr. bentley)

What should I do with my life?
"beloved" - the working title ("Follow me to where we'll hide/The rest of our long lives/Dreaming in the sun to float away/The manna mysteriously will nourish every day/And thanking God we fold down to pray" I think this means “be lazy” sweet!)

Why must life be so full of pain?
"woodstock" - joni mitchell (that's right! it's those dang hippies in new york's fault!)

Will I ever have children?
"wangsta" - 50 cent (not sure what this means)

Will I die happy?
"the lemon song" - led zeppelin (i'll make lemonade!)

What is some good advice for me?
"never is a promise" - fiona apple (how’s that for advice?!? "never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie." never say never kids)

What is happiness?
deny - default (deny, deny, deny)

What's my favorite fetish?
"graduation day" - kanye west (not sure it's a fetish, cause i've stayed away from it for 7 years)

How will I be remembered?
"i still miss someone" - johnny cash (i'll be remembered as being lonely perhaps? i hope not)

that definitely took more than 5 minutes
