Musical Musings

I often have (what seem like good) ideas for writing here, but then get distracted and don't actually get to the writing part for awhile, and then when I finally do, I'm not sure if I ever articulate it right, after its been rolling around in my head for too long. Grr.

Anyway.

I saw a meme recently that involved posting about songs that are haunting you at the moment. I don't know if 'haunting' is the right word (although, for a few it is), but here are a few songs that have been on repeat for me lately. I've been feeling stuck in a rut and frustrated with some things, and these songs are currently a combination of motivation and butt-kicking for me. I've found audio clips on youtube for them (don't bother watching the videos - they are crappy!) for your listening pleasure.

Make This Go On Forever, Snow Patrol
This was recently featured in Grey's Anatomy, at the end of the first of the three 'ferry' episodes. I loved in that context, but I also love it as a stand alone.

Beautiful Things, Andain
I've said it before - thank you, Saf, for posting about this one. I very much identify with a lot of the lyrics.

Jump, Madonna
Okay I lied - watch the video. And this one, cool parkour tricks are used for both of them. Now, to follow her advice....easier said than done. Ruts can get comfortable, even when they're not where you want to be.
