Day 6
I really like this song despite my feelings on religion but I'm not sure if the song is anti or pro or somewhere between

I like this one, because it reminds me of a bit of Leonard Cohen's body of work, balancing the sacred and sensual. It uses the religious imagery to describe the carnal one, and it doesn't exclude the negatives ("I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies/I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife" is far from a positive look), but keeps the religious and sacrificial images. And he does it in condemnation of the current church - "Every Sunday's getting more bleak/ A fresh poison each week/"We were born sick", you heard them say it/My church offers no absolutes." Her response is come worship in the bedroom. There can be spirituality in carnality. Again, back to Cohen -- that is one of his foundations.

Just my understanding.
 
Day 6: A song you donโ€™t understand

Love this song but no idea what itโ€™s about

Dexyโ€™s Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen

Apropos of nothing, I had a shirt that said, "I came on Eileen."

I could give some insight (it involves Oregon, heh) into what parts of it mean if you want.
 
Day 6: A song you donโ€™t understand

Beck - Loser

He sings words. They are English words. I however do not know what these English words, when put together, are supposed to mean.

Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhoseโ€œ

Day 7 a song for how you would like to spend your Sunday
Lou Reed captures it better than I ever could.

A perfect day with the perfect person;

๐ŸŽต Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun ๐ŸŽต


Perfect Day - Lou Reed
Beautiful song, I shared this with a friend yesterday
 
Day 8: A song for a day without a prompt

Since I have no idea what today's prompt is, and I'm selfishly impatient (sorry, @morelikeasong) , I'm just going ahead and posting something. I thought about posting an eclipse-related song, but no. We mustn't dwell. No, not today. Not on Rex Manning Day.

You could have just tagged or messaged me!! ๐Ÿ˜ค

Thank you to everyone except @Whiskeyjack for waiting patiently.
If itโ€™s past like 9am EST and I havenโ€™t posted, feel free to PM or tag me. I probably forgot. Like today. I was busy withโ€ฆ testing ๐Ÿคญ. One track mind.

Ok. Here we are.

Day 8: A song that mentions the sun or moon
Well... the sun is a star. And name me a bigger star than Rex Manning. I'll wait.
