I'm always loathe to jump on a hate-bandwagon, but sometimes it's, you know, deserved. Plus I just can't stand this cheesy, faux-feelgood bullshit song.
It was hard to decide what song to pick, so I just kind of went with the one I most feel like listening to right at the moment. But, you know. I can't really think of a song by them I don't like.
Random memory: I used to ask my dad what time it was and he would say something like "twenty of ten." I'm still not 100% sure what that means. 9:40? 10:20? I asked him once and he told me, but I forget. I remember that when I was eleven I ragged on him so much for saying it that he finally stopped. It's weird; I don't really miss him, per se, but I keep remembering stuff he used to say to me now that he's not speaking to me anymore. It's strange that I've been such an influence in a person's life that I can break him of a 35-year-long habit just because it annoyed me. I guess children are just like that to their parents. Maybe this is part of why I've decided not to have any.
AND NOW ON TO THE MUSIC MEME, WHICH PEOPLE (might) ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT. Man I'm bad at keeping up with stuff
Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep
Oh my god, sometimes they play this at work and it takes everything I have not to just fall over. I don't know what it is. Something about it just makes me want to pass out; I think it's the guitar. Great song, either way.
My coworkers should know this about me - we usually play the 90's alternative station at work because none of us think it's terrible, and I always sing along to this one when it comes on.
Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event
I could have gone with a serious one, but no, fuck that. I decided to do this because it reminds me of walking like eight miles to my friend Evan's house after school every other day, when Noah would not stop singing this goddamn song. No more serious. That is not how we do.
It's probably just - Okay, it's definitely just the name of the band, but this always reminds me of when I would go camping with my family when I lived near Lake Michigan. This wasn't the first song I heard by the band, but it's definitely the one I love most and the most evocative one to me, although it tends to evoke images of rivers and pine trees and hills and trout and stuff rather than what the band probably wanted me to think when they wrote the song. Oh well.
