<br>This is a more recent song, but it captures how I've felt in the best of times.


VNV Nation - Standing:

"...And fighting time so hard I pray that this moment last forever.
And will the world stay standing still, at least for me...."

VNV sometimes has such brilliant moments of clarity it's unbelievable they're a modern band.

Well shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep, I'm going with "I Wish I Looked A Little Better" by Sparks [:D]

It has always been and always will be:

Suicidal Tendencies - You Can't Bring Me Down

For sometimes feeling like I'm the only rational person in a world of morons:

Why give them any cred by even referring to it here? Just let that die.

I'd have to go with two songs:

Hold It by Marshall Crenshaw:
Rain on my window
Michael (jackson) on my radio
737, this room I’m in
This moment won’t ever be here again
Try to remember, hold on tight forever
To your life and love every night and day
Hold on and don’t let it slip away
Whenever sadness and darkness
Threaten to mess up my day
When the blues come around me
I throw my hands in the air and I say
Hold it...hold it...oooh...
World’s in a hurry
Too many worries
But I don’t want to loose everything I’ve gained
So I tell myself again and again
And whenever somebody tells you
That all the good times are through
Look into their eyes and tell them
I’m sure surely glad that I’m not you

OR Talk Talk's Life's what you make it:

Baby,
life's what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it

(Everything's all right)
life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
Life's What You Make It
(Everything's all right)
yeah yeah
(Everything's all right)

Both can change my attitude in the AM on the way to work

Randall/Geoff,

I knew "This is the Day" would click with others too. In old threads, there's always been an outpouring of affection for it. The lyrics are so powerful, especially if you were in high school at the time! I even voted it my #4 favorite all time NW song in Freewave's Top 500 survey.

By the way, since this is my 500th post, is there a secret handshake I need to know? Blir?

"Under the Milky Way" by The Church. It's a slice of pure escapism and I've never gotten tired of hearing it. I'd read that it was about Steven Kilbey wanting to just get away from it all and chill in a hash bar in Amsterdam (as well as a reference to an Aussie mayor who got busted in a Memphis brothel), but that song just works for me.

Under The Milky Way
The Church

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

Under the Milky way tonight..
Under the Milky Way tonight...

My sister always joked that her wedding song would be "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." It wasn't.

How about "Birth, School, Work, Death" by The Godfathers?
