On a wild thing

"Don't Waste Your Heart" by Dixie Chicks

Seems extra appropriate now that we're saying goodbye to Maurice Sendak, the father of the Wild Things.

If you let me

"Take Care" by Drake featuring Rihanna

Monday must bring out my nurturer/caregiver.

RIP Davy Jones

"(Theme from) The Monkees" by The Monkees

They're too busy singing to put anybody down. Original boy band. Respect.

We hold these facts to be self-evident

"The Fact of Life" theme song from The Facts of Life

You take the good, you take the bad. How about I take the good and you take the bad?

Blame it on Fringe

"Across the Universe" by the Beatles

hashtag alert!

I am, actually

"Colorblind" by Counting Crows

Maybe a little depressing, but I also kind of had "Under the Umbrella Tree" in there to balance things out.

Reality not a requirement

"Way back into love" by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore

Yeah, this is a fictional song from a sort of weird movie. Showerhead doesn't judge.

Tell me you aren't transported to a real-love place:

Like I love you

"Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

POWER

"Sea of Love" Cover by Cat Power, particularly

Who do I think I am, coming and going all willy-nilly? Just a girl with a daily soundtrack and a variable amount of time and memory.

Swimming in the shower

"Swimming" by Florence + the Machine

And a good day to keep in mind: "Just keep swimming."

A not-fine Tuesday

"Adia" by Sarah McLachlan

and

"Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy

A double punch of depressing songs to start this rainy Tuesday. Here's hoping it goes up from here!

Someone like me listening to...

"Someone like you" by Adele

Have your cake and eat it too

"Never There" by Cake

Mentally, this is what I'm like on Mondays.

A song that has a drain lyric and a loofah artist

"Molly (16 Candles)" by Sponge

What is this life? Empire Records?

Melodious Medley

"Your arms around me" by Jens Lekman

also

"Summer Morning Rain" by The Duke and the King

Unpopular Choice

"You've got a friend" by Carole King

I know this makes me a dick, but I kind of hate this song./

for a long long time

"I was made for you" by She and Him

Let them wait, let them wonder

"Let them knock" by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.

Also fighting for prominence in my brain: multiple quotations from Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. 

Waking up with a headache

"Keep your Head" by The Ting Tings

Forget Rosalie!

"Be my husband" by Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan (Originally by Nina Simone)

Drums are better on the cover.
