Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side

Released as a B-side in 1964 -- one of the first songs they ever recorded before they began work on their 1st album

Day 3: an album title track

This whole album has been on repeat since it came out but I especially adore this song. There's a vulnerability to the lyrics that just resonates with me.

It’s a particularly beautiful song. Even by her own standards.

Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side

This was released as the b-side of "I Get Around"... I like it so much more. My mom loved the Beach Boys and went to one of their concerts when she was younger. It makes me wish I had known her then.

Jamiroquai's Space Cowboy album is pure perfection, or, it could have been. Shorty after the album dropped, they released an EP with different mixes of the title track, and Stoned Again is apparently the original version. I'm not sure why they went with the version that ended up on the album when this one is just.... chefs kiss

Several minutes longer (sorry @SalaciousMonkey22), with a different baseline and a much different feel to Jay's vocals. Soooo mellow

Jamiroquai - Space Cowboy (Stoned Again)

Thanks for the heads up so I didn’t listen

Coincidentally, they recently released an action figure of this guy. I have exactly no idea why.

Day 5: A song with lyrics you live by

I love My Chemical Romance. However, this is not my favorite MCR song. The production is almost too slick, at least for them. But the lyrics work for me, and for this prompt.

I am a romantic. It bites my ass, often, but I can't be other than what I am. And by that, I am hopeful. And this song is MCR at their most hopeful.

"You've got to make a choice
If the music drowns you out
And raise your voice
Every single time they try and shut your mouth"

It is about choosing to stand for everyone, not just the ones who love you, but everyone, even if they hate you. Even if it costs you.

"Sing it from the heart, sing it 'til you're nuts
Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts"

I don't always. I can be as selfish and cynical as anyone. But this reminds me to try.

"SING," My Chemical Romance

(Keep running)

I sincerely love Bowling for Soup. And I passed that love onto my kid, heh.
