OKAY. so. i made a facklety playlist a couple of weeks ago, and like it quite a bit. almost as much as my treesome playo fucklist. my housemates, however, are frequently baffled and exasperated as to my song choices. [livejournal.com profile] baylorsr just posted her themed playlists the other day, so hah! why not.

most of the songs i choose for playlists just... they don't always have a literal connection (like n*sync's choreography. hahah. haha.hah. *puke*), but often it's just the feel/tone behind it that puts me in the same mindspace. or something in it will have a random link, in my head, that'll make me think of it.

only, it's 11pm now so i'll do it in blocks. how about - 5 or 10 today, rest later?


coldplay - amsterdam
my star is fading - that and just the whole self-reflective ... wisdom you get at the end of something thing. not bitterness, but slightly melancholy, slightly hopeful. yeah. i'm dead on the surface, but i'm screaming underneath.

the beatles - you really got a hold on me
i don't like you - but i love you - once again that kind of hopeless but self-reflective understanding. i think these first 2 songs are marybeth songs. that conflict where you are exhausted and give up the fight but you can't shut your brain up with the what-ifs. um

james - laid
moved out of the house, so you moved next door
i locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
i find you sleeping next to me, i thought i was alone
you're driving me crazy, when are you coming home?
- this song is kind of hysterical, i think. hee! that marybeth conflict where you know you SHOULD be fighting against her because alien! but then, is what she offering so bad? etc. that conflict. yeah.

REM - it's the end of the world as we know it (and i feel fine)
hee.

portishead - wandering star
wandering star, for who it is reserved, the blackness, the darkness, forever
marybeth again (wtf?) the wandering star, and for everyone else, i guess... that kind of almost trendy isolation.


ok bed now. erk.

And I feel fine.
