Mandaris"Hopeless" by Dionne Farris
Share a song that represents your current mood.
I woke up with a headache. Just feeling a little downtrodden. I don't feel that I met my personal goals this month.
Maybe I can turn it around later on and make next month just a little better.
Well, I'm going to get dressed and go for a walk.
I hope you have a good day.
"Brave" by Sara Bareilles
Share a song that captures the feeling of being brave.
My family was listening to this repeatedly for months. So this is the first song that comes to mind.
"Canned Heat" by Jamiroquai
What song makes you want to dance alone in your room?
You know this boogie is for real!
Jamiroquai has so many great songs. I don't know why I haven't been keeping up with what they have been doing.
Maybe it's because I'm too busy dancing to what they already made.
"All Night Long" by Mary Jane Girls
What song makes you want to stay up all night?
I'm actually not a fan of staying up late. Maybe because I'm an early riser or just getting old(er).
This song is a classic song written by Rick James. The bass riff is amazing and rocks you into slow groove.
"Arco Arena (Instrumental)" by CAKE
What's a song you associate with your hometown?
Cake is a band from where I'm from -- don't be creepy -- and this song is about a building that no longer exists. But, it really gets me hyped and ready to do something. I thought about having it as my morning alarm, but I don't want to wind up hating it.
"So Anxious" by Ginuwine
Share a song that perfectly captures anticipation.
Yes, Ginuwine has more than just Pony in his list of songs! Funny enough, I didn't know what exactly this song was about when it came out.
"Change the World" by Babyface & Eric Clapton
What's your favorite song about change?
This song has beautiful instrumentation and wonderful energy.
Depending on the version, you can get the extra kick at the end!
"4 Page Letter" by Aaliyah
What song makes you want to write a letter?
I miss Aaliyah. I think she had wonderful talent as a singer and phenomenal stage presence. She had a way of soothing and entrancing at the same time. After this post, I'm going to write a letter to my wife. Sometimes, it's better to express yourself that way.
"Can You Stand the Rain" by New Edition
What's your favorite song to listen to in the rain?
I’m not a fan of being outside in the rain. I know that it’s good for the area that I live in to have it on a regular basis. I just don’t like being cold and the rain we see is usually associated with the colder months.
For some, rain is rejuvenating. For me, it’s sadness that I have to go through.
"The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe
Share a song that captures the feeling of being seventeen.
Seventeen wasn't a good year for me.
I don't even remember what this song was about but it's the first thing that comes to mind.
