Song of the Day: Wednesday

Today was another one of those quick-slow days. Before I knew it, the day was practically over. Throughout the day this song played in my head all day. Oh, the 80s! Men with big questionable hair, makeup and clothes! And the so-called dancing! Those were the days!

Song of the Day: Tuesday

Today has been one of those long days that ended too soon. It's actually a carryover from Friday and Monday. I have a long list of things that at work (from FRIDAY) that I feel like I'll never actually get done. And there are the "little" things that pop up at work, people stuff, that I could bitch and moan about incessantly. Stuff that could really get me down. Luckily my "whatever" is working so it's not impacting me too, too much. Just annoying.

In honor my newfound duck-skill of letting things roll of my back, I have chosen this song. It started pinging in my head during a telephone call with my aunt as I recounted to her some of the crap that gets thrown my way. This is after last night's convo with another friend about other crap that I'm learning to slough off. Maybe I have thicker skin or something.

Anyway, Switchfoot.

Song of the Day: Monday

Last Monday I wanted to post this song, but couldn't remember what or who it was. I'd originally thought it was Van Morrison. It kind of reminds me of some of his stuff. But it turns out it was Dexy's Midnight Runners.

If you know Dexy's Midnight Runners, you understand my confusion. They are know for this one hit wonder, which is quite good. So the idea of them singing "Jackie Wilson Said" is obviously confusing. I think. But this was the song on my mind last week. So, here it is.

Song of the Day: Sunday

Mariah Carey has been, um, let's say singing in my head for the last few days. I think it started when I heard that she was having trouble dealing with the death of a dear musical friend. It's strange to have this song kicking around in my head. Obviously I've heard it before, but R&B is normally not what I would choose to hum for days on end. It's been oddly comforting.

Anyway, here it is.

Song of the Day: Saturday

Today is a crazy lazy day. I was chained to my apartment most of the day waiting for the  V technicians to install my triple play package. The guy was nice enough to stop by this morning to let me know approximately what time they would be by.  So, I got a chance to run out and return the equipment from TWC and be home in plenty of time to laze around before the installation happened. I am now chilling on my couch watching the Matrix for the 1 millionth time.

While I was returning from making returns, Robert Smith began to sing in my mind.

Song of the Day: Friday

I am a strange bird. This morning I woke up to the sound of rain. For most people, especially women, the sound of rain means pants and boots to keep warm and dry. Not me! I love rain. I miss rain when I don't get it. I sleep better in rain. So, when I hear the pitter-patter of drops against my window, I decide to wear a dress. And tights. I'd originally planned to wear boots, but opted for my high healed loafers. I wore my waterproof trench and carried my umbrella. But, for some reason, I was definitely happy about the rain.

This is today's rain song: Phil Collins' "I Wish It Would Rain Down". I forgot how music videos used to be mini-movies!

Happy Friday, Y'all!

Song of the Day: Thursday

Today has been a long, long day. I started my day 45 minutes earlier than normal and, wimpy me, when I left work at my regular time, I was wiped out. Talking to people all day long while asking intelligent questions that no one else has asked can be taxing. However the day went smoothly. And, I got a lot accomplished.

The song that's been playing in my since my day ended is Feist's "Brandy Alexander". Nice and mellow. This is a video of a live performance. the lighting is odd, but it's Feist.
