Day 18: A song for feeling angry

You Make Me Sick! - Ashnikko

Coming for you, I'm contagious, ruined what was sacred
I was living good before your locusts and your plague hit
I always fucking fake it, now you're crying and you're shaking?

 
Day 18: a song for feeling angry
King Nothing - Metallica
I have rarely let myself feel angry. I rationalised it away, forgave, or ignored. But I've learned that anger is a tertiary feeling, it is created by a core emotion like fear or frustration and that knowledge makes it much easier to actual feel the feels. So now I tend to listen to songs that express whatever emotion caused me to feel angry.

Except this song; I can't begin to count the number of times I have belted it out at the top of my lungs, especially in my car ๐Ÿ˜ There is just something about how the music and my poor singing ability work together to scratch the itch between my shoulder blades.
Quite a few Metallica songs were on my list.
 
Day 18: A song for feeling angry

Every time we would leave Camp Victory North, Logistics Base Seitz or Forward Operating Base Dreamlandโ€ฆ it was some
kinda hardcore to get you in the mood and ready for a mission outside. So much so that I had to have a friend make me a couple of good mix CDs just for that purpose. (Talkin 2004-6 here). I still have em somewhere w all my CDs.

Killing Time, Rollins, Half-Life, Madball, old school UK82 stuff come to mind. But this one was always there to get me ready on those super early mornings.

And Iโ€™ll always associate it with those times and places.

Mostly in a good way.

โ€œThereโ€™s gotta be some meaning to the purpose of lifeโ€ฆโ€ The perfect mix of punk and metal imo.

I Wish a Bitch Would - Delilah Bon

I wish a bitch would when I'm walking down the street
I wish a bitch would just to find some release
Don't trust no man
Don't trust the police

I wish a bitch would
I love this song. I think @morelikeasong can actually claim credit for introducing me to Delilah. ๐Ÿ˜
 
Day 18: A song for feeling angry

Feminine rage music hits the spot perfectly when Iโ€™m in the mood for it.

The chorus of this one is great for channeling my anger. Makes me want to travel back in time and show up for the younger me.

โ€œLittle girl gone, got a gun from a gangster
Run little girl, run little girl, bang, ha

Say that again, I didn't quite hear you
Messed with the wrong bitch in the wrong era
I been at work and I got my badge of honor
Honey, I've changed so much since I last saw you
โ€

I think itโ€™s approaching the point of being overdone but I have liked the trend of making videos like little moves with title cards and junk.

Day 18: A song for feeling angry The Revenge: This Time It's Personal.

This prompt has been in my head most of the day, and I was kicking around if I wanted to use my second song pass. Yes, yes I do.

Most angry songs are loud, screaming, cathartic, and I love me some good screaming songs. But I also have a lot of love for quiet anger. Quiet, seething venom. Cold rage. And this song, from the Civil Wars, who broke up as a band in the middle of recording their second album, nails that feel.

"Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I'd never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away"


"The One That Got Away," The Civil Wars.

 
Day 19: A song for feeling happy


Nowhere With You - Joel Plaskett Emergency

A fun, upbeat song thatโ€™s sweet and simple. โ€œHey, I like you. Letโ€™s hang.โ€

A happy memory is singing along and dancing to this very song with my friends when I saw them live way back in my 20s ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿป

Same time next week at a quarter past ten?
And we can go nowhere again.
If you show up then, you know I will too,
Can I go nowhere with you?


 
Day 19: a song for feeling happy
I need to do better in era week because I want to post 2 songs.. or 6.. so many happy songs!
I'm choosing Mushaboom by Feist, not the 'happiest' of my music but it gives me a sense of hopefulness, an innocent peace. And that, to me, is happiness.

I can't find a good YouTube video of the song, the music video is fun but the audio is awful so have some fun exploring this underrated Canadian and find it on your own๐Ÿ–ค
