Day 9 - A song that reminds you of someone

This selection is way off of my normal, but I've a high school friend that I think of from time to time, and this was very much his wheel house during the closest parts of our friendship in the mid-to-late 90s. You really haven't heard this song if you haven't cruised the streets of a small city downtown pumping this on a cassette through the fried speakers of a Pontiac Grand Am coupe. You just haven't.

Day 9 - A song that reminds you of someone
This was my second choice. My first choice seems to be playing everywhere right now, but the loss is too recent and raw still. This one is sad as well, but I love it. Well, to be honest, I love every single song on Melissa Etheridge's eponymous first album. It is one of my few "never skip even one" albums. Pain, loss, some rage, a bit of grit -- beautiful music. And this one? This draws up memories.

"This whole town is haunted
There'll never be anything new..."

"Precious Pain," Melissa Etheridge.

(Sorry, Nebs, maybe next time around there will be enough distance.)

Count on me -Bruno Mars
Wasn't going to post anything but then this song popped into my mind. Reminds me of my best friend who I let down badly - in the end, he couldn't count on me and I regret that every single day.

Day 9: If Ever I Would Leave You


This song reminds me of someone not on Lit.

My dad sang this at my wedding... I've always loved it. Even though I'm divorced now.

I left him in Autumn, by the way...

Something about this song always reminds me of the 11th US President, James K. Polk

It's a beautiful song and one I learned early on while studying voice.

A girl that I dated in HS and college, dumped me and got married to her college bf. I feel like this song was constantly on VH1 the summer we spent together. The other song that was on repeat was ....

Day 10: A song that makes a statement

When we tell them we need to move forward,
all they ask us is "Left or Right!?"
The Colours are at war and our future shifts to Grey.
Though their props are different shades,
the Reds and the Blues are dancing to the same tune.

Kapten Röd - Färgernas Krig (the War of Colours)
The war is not fought between the people in power; it's a front. No, their target is us. The people.
It doesn't matter whoever's in power in Sweden, they're all fucking over the working class.
We used to pride ourselves on our Folkhemmet, the People's Home, our term for a well established social security system, but it's being demolished brick by brick, stone by stone, legislation by legislation.

Menace were an early and overlooked punk band. They were making street punk before sham69 and before street punk/Oi! was even a thing.

Obviously never saw the original incarnation, but it did see the reformed group twice in 2013/14 ish! Well worth it - my calves ached for days from all the pogoing.

So Fuck You! It’s Tuesday morning and I don’t wanna go to work.

Menace - Fuck You
