Earworm – Hey There Delilah

What is an earworm, you ask?

It’s a tune or song that gets stuck in your brain! It’s that song that’s playing in your head as soon as you wake up in the morning and plays all day long. Sometimes it’s a good song or tune but sometimes it’s awful and drives you bonkers.

This one has been driving me nuts since 2006. The monotonous, repetitious tune makes me want to pull my hair out. For the past several weeks, when Dad and I go to our favorite Mexican restaurant they’ve been playing pop and alternative music instead of the normal Mexican music, which I always enjoyed. I don’t know why they stopped playing it but now it seems they have the same playlist on repeat every damn time we are there (today was one of those times) and this song is on it.  Ugh.

On the bright side, lunch was delicious!

Thankfully, today I woke up with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody stuck in my head. Love it!

10 Songs On My Playlist Today

Today, I had an appointment that was quite the drive. It was 3 hours, round trip. As much as I love Dad and enjoy his company, humor, and stories of his youth, I really enjoyed being completely alone! My music kept me company and I cranked it up and rocked out! I sang along and wiggled and tapped to the music. This is something I can’t normally do with Dad in the car!

I am always amused by the number of people who look at me like there’s something wrong with me. They see a 56-year-old woman in a car with music blaring, that can be heard through closed windows and they get this odd look on their faces. Older people probably think I’m too old for that nonsense, younger people probably think it’s odd that I’m listening to such modern music, and people my age probably wonder why I’m not listening to country music! Some might just think, “Damn, is she deaf?”

What was I listening to? I’m glad you asked! (Even though you didn’t….heehee.) Here are 10 of the songs on my playlist today:

 

Korn – Freak On A Leash

 

Avatar – Let It Burn

 

Gojira – Stranded

 

Avenged Sevenfold – Hail To The King

 

Bad Wolves – Zombie (cover)

 

AC/DC – Thunderstruck

 

Rammstein – Du Hast

 

Red Sun Rising – The Otherside

 

Drowning Pool – Let The Bodies Hit The Floor

 

Soundgarden – Spoonman

 

So, what’s on your playlist?

Perfect

I’m not much into Ed Sheeran’s music but when I was asked to create the music cd for my son’s wedding and this song was chosen for the procession, I was stunned. It was the most beautiful piece of music I have heard in a very long time. I love stringed instruments and I love how this song was arranged. I don’t care for the lyrical version but this cover is “perfect” for a wedding. Give it a listen!

 

No Rain by Blind Melon

Yes, my life IS pretty plain, but it’s mine and no one else’s. I love the simple things in life. I love watching the rain fall, watching for rainbows, and waiting for the birds, rabbits and squirrels to come out and play. I love the blooms that Spring brings, the chirping sounds of nature, and the warmth of the sun. I love rock music, suspenseful movies, and spicy food.

I love to sit down with a good book and a cup of tea. It’s a great escape from the simple, sometimes boring life I live. I complain about things that don’t seem right and when things seem much more difficult than they should be. I don’t sleep all day but sometimes wish I could.

I sometimes have an odd point of view and many people don’t ‘get’ me but those who do are near and dear to my heart. They’re there for me when times are tough and they understand my tears. As long as I have the people in my life that I love, then I’ll have it made. Those who think I’m insane? Eh. Their problem, not mine. I’m ok with that.
