My son had to write an essay on this in English class.(he has a very cool teacher) If you could only pick one song to best describe you, what would it be and why? It's alot harder than it seems because of all the great music out there. Mine would be Tiny Dancer by Elton John because hearing it is basically the story of my life. I am a petite person, took classical ballet for 15 yrs before I gave it up to marry a musician who I have been on the road with at times. I have been a seamstress, ran the sound, managed roadies, and done just about whatever else was required. So now, tell me your song.
"Hand in my Pocket" by Alanis Morissette. I'm broke but I'm happy I'm poor but I'm kind I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah I'm high but I'm grounded I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby What it all comes down to Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is giving a high five I feel drunk but I'm sober I'm young and I'm underpaid I'm tired but I'm working, yeah I care but I'm restless I'm here but I'm really gone I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby What it all comes down to Is that everything's gonna be quite alright I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is flicking a cigarette What it all comes down to Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is giving the peace sign I'm free but I'm focused I'm green but I'm wise I'm hard but I'm friendly baby I'm sad but I'm laughing I'm brave but I'm chicken shit I'm sick but I'm pretty baby What it all boils down to Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is playing the piano What it all comes down to my friends Is that everything's just fine fine fine I've got one hand in my pocket And the other one is hailing a taxi cab...
I have two at the moment. Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion - for when i'm happy and Face of Appalachia by Julie Miller - when i'm melancholy
I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted to one time see you laughing I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain I never wanted to be your weekend lover I only wanted to be some kind of friend Baby, I could never steal you from another It's such a shame our friendship had to end Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing It's time we all reached out for something new That means you too You say you want a leader But you can't seem to make up your mind I think you better close it And let me guide you to the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain... I only want to see you, Only want to see you In the purple rain
When you grab a hold of me Tell me that I’ll never be set free But I’m a parasite, creep and crawl I step into the night. Two pints of booze Tell me are you a badfish too? are you a badfish too? Ain’t got no money to spend I hope the night will never end Lord knows I’m weak Won’t somebody get me off of this reef Baby your a big blue whale Grab the reef when all duck diving fails I swim but I wish I’ve never learned The water’s too polluted with germs I dive deep when it’s ten feet overhead Grab the reef underneath my bed It’s underneath my bed Ain’t got no quarrels with God ain’t got no time to grow old Lord knows I’m weak Won’t somebody get me off of this reef Ain’t got no quarrels with god. ain’t got no time to get old Lord knows I’m weak Won’t somebody get me off of this reef

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low. That is you can’t you know tune in but it’s all right, that is I think it’s not too bad. Let me take you down, ’cause I’m going to strawberry fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry fields forever.
"More than a Feeling" from Boston. It perfectly describes my feelings about rock, music, and life in general; it's a song that perfectly describes my feelings and emotions.
My theme song is Laetitia by Serge Gainsbourg... I bet no one here knows that song unless you're from France! I'd post the lyrics but of course, they're in French, so... forget it
