this is because i read sharon's.
1.) WHAT'S THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MUSIC FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER?
in the great crash of 2004 i lost quite a lot of music and bits of comedy which i had snagged from somewhere online. as of today i think i have about fifty to sixty files. sad. i am in a music deficit.
2.)WHAT WAS THE LAST CD YOU BOUGHT?
wow. um i hadn't even realized how long ago this was but i think the last cd i bought or remember buying was the soundtrack to the move Somewhere in Time. because i was very sad and feeling alone in the world. this was about three and half years ago i think.
3.) WHAT WAS THE LAST SONG LISTENED TO BEFORE GETTING THIS MESSAGE?
i think its called Fundamental Friend Dependability off of a charlie brown show soundtrack. it was in the car and is a mixed cd. i don't know what character is singing it but i imagine its peppermint patty though i know i'm pro'lly wrong.
4.) WRITE DOWN FIVE SONGS YOU OFTEN LISTEN TO OR THAT MEAN A LOT TO YOU.
well, i am at times fickle or moody and therefore my mind is constantly changing when it comes to music. having said that, i proceed now with the listings.
[one]: /only you/ by portishead. or anything portishead, anything within reason. as we all know, there are certain chords that don't ring right. like i'm not too keen on the beginning of elysium but once it gets going i'm ok. still, i have to be in a certain mood for it. now as for the meaning behind my choice of this song or even my choice of portishead..? well, i've only really ever written something i actually liked while listening to that b&w portishead album. granted that was a long time ago, there was something in the notes or the rhythm that made me feel something other than hurt. also it makes me think of my favorite author because it was around this time that i'd ever been exposed to Clarice Lispector. her Hour of the Star was what did it. that story, and this album, that's what put me over the edge. i've always felt there i was under hypnosis when i listened to it. so i tend to associate what i was feeling at the time with both the author and the group.
[two]: i suppose its a toss up between elliot smith's "2:45 AM" and his "SAY YES". why? not sure. the former actually reminds me of january and lewis. mid-morning jam sessions at the house. something about the melody and/or the way that smith sings walking out on center circle/the both of you can just fade to black/walking out on center circle/been pushed away and i'll never come back. as for the latter (say yes)..well that makes me think of-- how much of a big deal the morning after was for me. the morning after what? it doesn't matter really, does it? the lines: situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later/well i could be another fool or an exception to the rule/you tell me the morning after and smith's voice makes me want to let myself fall backwards again. but i can't. i mustn't. theres a bittersweetness here. it's always been wait and see/a happy day and then you pay/
[three]: something cool by -?- i was going to put down this singer tierney sutton but she only sang a version of it. the first one i'd ever heard. later i discovered it sung by either patti page or peggy lee, i can't remember because i lost the cd i bought somewhere under my bed. in any case, the song is about a woman and heartbreak and drinking and with just the slightest hint of madness. i'm a sucker for a sad song and a really pure voice.
[four]: i guess i don't really have a four. awhile ago though, when i kept feeling down about where i was with ruel, i kept myself on a steady diet of karen carpenter's love me for what i am. i liked this song for obvious reasons. karen's voice, soft but not simpering. i liked her phrasing, because i appreciate lyrics that move like acrobats from your singing. she meant every word she sang, so i believe. you've got to love me for what i am, for simply being me/don't love me for what you intend or hope that i will be/and if you're only using me to feed your fantasy/you're really not in love so let me go/i must be free. and that, everyone, is cheese.
[five]: finally, i have to say that vincent is really my all time favorite song ever. you know the one that goes along with some fancy guitar picking, starry, starry night/paint your pallet blue and grey/look out on a summer's day/with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. this song has always has topped the list, for me. even before i met rb and dnn made the connections. i haven't stopped trying to learn to play it, i've just sort of put it on hold for the time being. but i WILL learn it.
5.) WHO ARE YOU GONNA PASS THIS STICK TO (THREE PERSONS) AND WHY?
i would pass it on to toni but she's too good to update.. er.. i mean she's too grown up.
oops. it said three people. i just saw that. so.... i suppose i would pass this on, as if it really mattered, to papirpark because i think she'd be the only other one that journals though it isn't on diaryland and it isn't for the every detail of every detail. and i guess for the third person/journal writer...um.. maybe eileen, she's way into talking about music. and if not eileen then.. who knows.. a person who reads this or has stumbled onto it on accident. yes, that sounds about right. the third will be you who is reading this. and for now, that is surface and that is all. over and out (even though that's not what they really say when they're signing off) heeheeh.
