30 Song Challenge … in my own little way :) PART 3

Ok, so here’s the 3rd and final part of my little 30 Song Challenge installment. Here we go:

Song 21: A Song That You Listen To When You’re Happy

WHEN IT’S TIME TO PARTY, WE WILL PARTY HARD. To be honest, every song by Andrew WK just makes me happy. Every song by him is abouts partying and getting wasted and just having fun. No silly love songs, no deep mournful tracks about how much everyone hates him and his life is sad, he just cares about what he’s drinking tonight and how much fun it’s gonna be. My other favourite song by him is ‘We Want Fun’ where the lyrics are: We want fun and you might as well face it/We wanna have fun and we wanna get WASTEDDD!!! Such a tune.

Song 22: A Song That You Listen To When You’re Sad

This song I always listen to when I’m sad. Some people play happy songs when they’re sad, I don’t. When I’m sad, I don’t play perky and chipper songs, I play melancholy songs so that I can drown in my own misery. When I’m low, I listen to depressing songs and eventually, I’ll come back up again. For some reason it helps, and this song always makes me cry and I love to play it on guitar. It’s such a heart-wrenching song, the vocals are incredible and you can hear the pure talent of Justin Furstenfield seeping out. Sometimes it’s weird how one persons song-writing can really pull on your heart strings.

Song 24: A Song That You Want To Play At Your Wedding

Ahh, love songs. Sometimes I love ‘em, sometimes I hate ‘em. At the moment, I’m kinda loving them. This is one of Green Day’s most calming songs, and love just kinda oozes from every orifice when I hear this song. When I first heard this song, tears sprang to my eyes. It’s such a beautiful song and makes me all happy and stuff inside. Lyrics like: “‘From the first day you came into my life/My time ticks around you/But then I need your voice/As key to unlock all the love thats trapped in of me” just makes me go all “nyawwww!!!” and turns me into one of those annoying love-obsessed morons. Even though I don’t have love in my life, this song still rocks. A part of me thinks I never really will find love like this but hey, it’s nice to have hope. But if anyone out there does love me…it’s time.

Song 25: A Song That You Want To Play At Your Funeral

This song is more of a love song than anything tbh. But it still makes me cry. I first heard it on Scrubs and I was all OMG THIS IS SO SAD IMMA DIE D: I actually have a list of all the songs I want at my funeral. That sounds mega depressing, but if I died tomorrow, people will be all “OMG WHAT SONGS SHALL I PUT ON THE PLAYLIST AT HER WAKE?!” I’ll name a few:

Eric Clapton – Tears in Heaven

Everly Brothers – All I Have To Do Is Dream

Frank Turner – Long Live The Queen

Green Day – Whatsername

Yeah, I’m cool.

Song 26: A Song That Makes You Laugh

I think this song makes me laugh because of all the swearing and the general hatefulness of this song. It’s just fucking hilarious. To be honest, most Blink 182 songs make me laugh. Fuck A Dog, What’s My Age Again?, I Won’t Be Home For Christmas and Family Reunion to name a few. It’s only 43 seconds long, but first time I heard it, I sat there guffawing at the undiluted brillance and peppiness of this song.

Song 27: A Song That You Wish That You Could Play

That intro is just fucking insane. Some guitar players might be all “Oh, that’s easy I can play it blindfolded!” I sit in awe in most of Avenged Sevenfold’s songs mostly because the solo’s are insane because they’re mega speedy and I could never play them in a million years. Dayum.

Song 28: A Song That Makes You Feel Guilty

Ahh, John Lennon. Such an amazing person who brought out this inspirational piece of music. It really does make me feel guilty. It makes me feel guilty that sometimes I feel depressed even though I’ve got so much to be thankful for if that makes sense. I have few friends and family who mean the world to me, I’ve never wanted for anything in my life. This song just makes you contemplate the less-fortunate and makes me feel mega guilty.

Song 29: A Song From Your Childhood

This song just makes me think of happier times when I was a little kid and used to dance in my living room like a spaz. It’s such a happy and summer-y tune, and I still listen to it to this day. Something about the pure cheese and boppy tune just reminds me of happier times when all I had to worry about was how to wear my hair that day (ponytail or some little bow?) and when the next episode of Miami7 (anyone remember that?!) was going to come on. Those were the days.

Song 30: Your Favourite Song This Time Last Year

This was an easy one for me to find. All I had to look at was my ‘Songs of the Month’ from that month and I found it. It’s good when you keep a record of these things, or I wouldn’t have remembered whatsoever. I haven’t actually heard this song in a long time, and now I’ve just listened to it and remembered it’s awesomeness. Paramore are such an amazing band that I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing live yet (and since no one will go with me, I probably never will. Unless I go on my own. Which I’m contemplating) Only problem with Paramore is that I feel like I can’t sing along. My singing voice is just incredibly out of tune and I sound like a pig squealing when I sing.
