❌Monthly Song Challenge: Archived🎵

Day 25: A song you love but would be embarrassed if it started playing loudly from your laptop at a coffee shop.
That's one hell of a prompt.

This did once happen to me, on the tube. An early morning commute, half asleep, I needed a shot of energy. Something feel-goody. Little did I know that my wireless headphones weren't pairing... So when the music sounded dull and boxy, I turned it up... And up... And up...

The stares...

Out of pure shame, I got off on the next stop. Some others from the same cart got off at the same stop, so of course I couldn't just hang around on the platform like some lunatic, I had to make sure these complete strangers that I'd never see again thought that was actually my stop. So I exited the turnstiles. They did too. I kept walking. They did too. Five minutes later I was so freaking far away from the station, and with little to no idea where I was, though still about half an hour away from the office.

Turned a corner, made a bee-line for the previous station, called in sick, and went back home to wallow in self pity.

Not my best day.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Kira Kira Killer

 

Day 24
This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren

This prompt couldn't have arrived at a worse day for me. I'm absolutely full of cold and can't think as my head feels like it's stuffed with play doh. Super attractive I know.

However I've loved this song for years and it's never far from conscious thought. Originally written by Tim Buckley of course but the music here just makes the lyrics almost ethereal.
I hope you feel better soon, Rosie 🫂🌹
 
Day 24: A song with lyrics you love
I’m big on lyrics, so I just spent way too long flipping through my playlist, finding song after song that I thought I might pick. Then this one popped up. Maybe someone needs to hear it tonight, or tuck it away for later use. It’s only 20 seconds long.

Just relax, my friend
You're overthinking
And even if there is a problem
There's a solution
Remember to breathe
Put your mind at ease
Soon this feeling's gonna pass
You will find relief


Field Medic - song i made up to stop myself from having a panic attack just now

Shum - Go_A
I LOVE this... the only reason it would be embarrassing is that it was from Eurovision, but i shared it on another thread and got. a nice comment... it is brilliant Ukrainian techno-folk and if you didn't know it was Eurovision you'd not think anything bad - it's probably only the brits that would think that anyway. I have seen the band a couple of times live too and they are brilliant.

I had a few Eurovision songs on my shortlist, too.
 
Day 25: A song you love but would be embarrassed if it started playing loudly from your laptop at a coffee shop

Okay, I'm never hanging out in a coffee shop, I don't even drink the stuff. And I love this song but - it is very very different from the old classic stuff I listen to and love. So to have this come blasting out around people that know me? I'd never hear the end of it.

But I really love this song (and the movie). 🥰🥰 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think I'm over feeling embarrassed for my musical tastes generally speaking. While I'd be mega uncomfortable if anything starting blaring from my laptop in public (do not perceive me please), there's one singer I love with a lot of songs that would be extra mortifying. Strangers don't need to know I'm singing I'm the throat goat in my head 😭

I absolutely love Kim Petras... in the privacy of my car or home. 😅
 
Honestly I was looking for Meatloaf’s longer song, but he gives his all to these lyrics

Love the piano intro

Special

RIP Mr Meatloaf
oh and this

What was the paradise that was revealed?

I will accept my spanking now

You will not be getting a spanking from me. I do have a withering look if that interests you. Do better.

I hope you're feeling more like yourself today 🩷

All of it.
Especially giving fat cats a heart attack.


Uprising - Muse
Yes, yes, and yes!!!

Exactly! I don't even think I'd dare listen with headphones in public for fear of this exact scenario 😂

For me, the most embarrassing part of this equation is being the asshole with a laptop in the coffee shop in the first place.
"Asshole" - Denis Leary
This song is on my favorites list and has come on at some inopportune times 🤣
 
Day 25: A song you love but would be embarrassed if it started playing loudly from your laptop at a coffee shop

Okay, first of all, who is listening to music in a coffee shop through speakers? That's just rude.

I am pretty unashamed of most everything I listen to. And part of the prompt is that you have to like the song. So I was digging through my playlists for something so offensive it was funny. Then I found something else. Something worse. Much, much worse.

My hidden shame.

This is the most schmaltzy song ever recorded. It is horribly written, hammy, melodramatic hokum at its worst. And still, I have it in my playlist...

"Honey," Bobby Goldsboro

I wouldn’t say I “love” this song, but yeah, d be a wee bit embarrassed if it started playing loudly in public.
