I thought I'd do one of my Friday Five post. It seems like a good way to fill up some time during NaBloPoMo and it's a bit more entertaining post then my saying 'I've gotten nothing done,' which is the case.
Although, things change for me all the time, I thought posting five of my favorite songs would be fun. They're songs that I like for the lyrics and I would say they're my faves of all time but I think that would be a tough call. So here are five songs that I love the lyrics to.
I've related to each of these songs and still do. They've inspired me and helped me through things. If I didn't know any better I would think some of them were written just for me.
I'm posting links to the lyrics but unfortunately there are no sites that aren't filled with ads. I did think about posting the lyrics on my blog in posts that would have a really old date long before the blog existed, as sort of references files but I'm not really sure about it.
Anyway, here we go, in no particular order, and yes I'm giving credit to the writer's because it's about the lyrics. Not to say the performances were not excellent but how often do the writer's get credit?
Beautiful Disaster , lyrics written by Rebekah Jordan
What a Good Boy, lyrics written by Stephen Page
Man In The Mirror, lyrics written by Glenn Ballard and Siedah Garrett
The Last Song, lyrics written by Bernie Taupin
RENT (the entire soundtrack), lyrics written by Johnathon Larson
Okay, I (I Should Tell You) know the last (Light My Candle) one may be cheating (Christmas Bells) since there's so many songs (Seasons Of Love) in the entire musical but I think (Take Me Or Leave Me) every song in it has great (Goodbye Love) lyrics. I couldn't chose just one (One Song Glory) or even my top five. So I've (I'll Cover You) filled this explanation with random links (La Vie Boheme ) to RENT song lyrics (La Vie Boheme B) because it's my blog and (Another Day) I can do what (Without You) I want to. And no this is not every song. It was hard (Happy New Year) enough picking the few that I did but I figured no one's going to click every single (Santa Fe) link so I limited myself.

Songs to write by
I haven't posted in a while but I did finish labeling all my post!
Work has been really frustrating for me lately. Details would take up way too much space but I can say that lately I feel like throwing stuff at my boss which is never a good thing.
My therapy for this has been working on Behind the Naugahyde since it's about working at a crazy shoe store with an insane boss which is oddly similar to my current situation. What a coincidence?
My rage from the past two days of work motivated me to sit down tonight and finish my part of chapter seven. I also wrote a much too long e-mail to Jenni. I know I should have been working more on Behind the Naugahyde but it's those novel length e-mails that inspired Behind the Naugahyde anyway.
I've been locked in my office writing for a while and I've been listening to every Barenaked Ladies c.d. I own which, is every one they made. I like to listen to music that I feel fits the mood of what I'm writing. Their songs are mostly upbeat and funny but have lyrics that are still somewhat serious which is kind of how I want work to be at Sole Comfort (and hopefully that's close to Jenni's vision or we might have problems). I want it to be fun and crazy but still have times when the employees are angry and having bad days. I can picture the characters listening to the music while they try to get through the day. Whenever I hear their song Too Little, Too Late, the part
"One day this embarrassment will be behind me, that day I can think of things that won't remind me. These days it's unbearable...,"
I always think of selling shoes.
Not to mention that I love their music and have seen them three times which is a lot for me. They are awesome in concert and I honestly didn't care for them too much until I saw them live. Then I got it. They were so funny and energetic. It was hard not to love. And they wrote one of my all time favorite songs.
And I feel like an idiot because sometimes when I post my "favorites" on things like myspace, face book, live journal and blogger. I never remember to list my actual favorite movies or bands like the Barenaked Ladies. I always list stuff that I've just recently seen or heard and I never really feel like going back to change it. So when it comes to me you can never trust those list.
