Cold Yellow Questions

It took me awhile to understand how to play...but I did do it too!!

Total volume of songs on iPod: What's an iPod?

The last CD I bought was: Brave Combo, "Polkas for a Gloomy World"

Song playing right now: Blues Traveler, "Run-Around"

Five songs I listen to a lot, or mean a lot to me: These are the five songs that mean a lot to me at this moment. I refuse to be defined by this list!

1) Latter Days, by Over the Rhine
This song is painfully soulful and quite frankly, for the longest time, I didn't know the lyrics - it was just her voice conveying so much meaning.

2) I Still Haven't Found What I'm Lookin' For, by U2
Still one of the greatest songs ever by one of the greatest bands ever.

3) Texas in my Rearview Mirror, by Mac Davis
Don't get any crazy ideas about me secretly wanting to move back to Texas. I loved this song even when I lived there. I love the music and I love the lyrics. Mac Davis was a songwriting god.

4) Run Around, Blues Traveler
Could you pack a song any more densly than this one? This song, particularly the following segment, is exactly how I go about life most everyday and like most everything, it's both good and bad...

I know no matter what the waitress brings,
I shall drink in and always be full.
My cup shall always be full.
Oh I like coffee, And I like tea,
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take.

5) One Hand In My Pocket, by Alanis Morissette
I like this song, because I travelled through her other songs first. Feel the anger. Say it outloud. And then let it all go with "one hand in your pocket, and the other one givin' the peace sign."
