I recently got into oldschool Elton John, I've actually bought most of his work now through iTunes just to have the fabulous album art of my iPod. Besides, Elton needs the money. Anyway the title track to "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy sums me up pretty well and the music is classic Elton at his finest.

Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change
We've thrown in the towel too many times

"Skin" by Oingo Boingo
Quote
This is someone else's story
Someone that I never knew
This is someone else's body
Am I getting through to you
If you peel away the armor is something underneath
If you look below for hidden treasure underneath another layer
Are you hiding underneath the skin
If you peel away the skin is there anybody there
If you peel away the skin is there anybody there
If you peel away the armor is it too late to begin
Is there anybody hiding if you peel away the skin
Now a spark has passed between us now
A momentary recognition
Something lost and something gained
And something shared that feels strange
Something cold that will not go away
There's a heart as cold as ice
In a vault that's made of stone
Over years the walls got higher
Over years the walls have grown
Is there anybody in there in this self inflicted tomb
If you peel away the layers is there someone in this room
If you peel away the skin, if you peel away the skin
This is someone else's story
Someone that I never knew
This is someone else's body
Am I getting through to you
If you peel away the skin is there anybody there
If you peel away the skin is there anybody there
If you peel away the armor is it too late to begin
Is there anybody hiding if you peel away the skin
If you peel away the skin
If you peel away the skin
There only one.
Let's go, Girls!

breaking the habit by linkin park describes my anger issues pretty well, except I still haven't managed to break the habit ::)

I can't really pick just one, just what songs apply to me at the time. I'm sure a lot of people are like that, hence why people have their break-up playlists and such.
Right now, this.

It always reminds me to keep being myself no matter what.
I've yet to find a song I connected with like this one...

Holy moly Laura, thank you! I think that has got to be REMs most covered song, and somehow I had never seen the original video.
Wow what memories that music brings back. I know I'm dating myself but remember "stand"?

Hmm, I guess I'd have to add "The Kill (Bury Me)" to my list. I'd forgotten about that.
Wish I could find the original vid, but oh well....

I'd have to say this one, either the Dylan or the Jerry versions.
Tangled Up In Blue
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
I was layin' in bed
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
And I was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
Tangled up in blue.
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
But I used a little too much force.
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out West
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best.
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin' away
I heard her say over my shoulder,
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue,"
Tangled up in blue.
I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the ax just fell.
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I happened to be employed
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
Right outside of Delacroix.
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind,
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
Tangled up in blue.
She was workin' in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer,
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear.
And later on as the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same,
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
She studied the lines on my face.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"You look like the silent type."
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.
I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs,
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air.
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died.
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside.
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn,
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
Tangled up in blue.
So now I'm goin' back again,
I got to get to her somehow.
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives.
Don't know how it all got started,
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.
Here is the best vid I can find of it, which is the Fat Man in Mountain View.

I guess I take a different tack. No big surprise, is it! ;)
This is for some of the bravest men and women I know: my brothers and sisters here.

Tangled Up In Blue
The first time I heard that song it was being performed by the Indigo Girls, quite an interesting twist that's for sure. For what my humble opinion is worth, Dylans version is the best thus far. I'd like to see someone like Ani DiFranco or even Pink take it on, maybe give it a bit of a punk twist.
I just checked my set lists and I have seen Dylan do it 17 times, which means 17 different versions of Dylan doing it. I've seen the Indigo Girls do it too, and yeah, its a different deal (as it always is when girls do Bob songs) and I'm with you that I'd love to hear a real punk version of it, so I'm thinking Rancid.
Hecks...I bet you and I could do a pretty good punk version of it professor
I like a lot of jam band stuff, like moe., Widespread Panic and Jerry Garcia Band... Other then that, Ween and Radiohead rank right up there for me. Radio play I listen to is mostly stuff like Beatles and Pink Floyd.

Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (Bonus Track Version) - Don't You Evah

This is the song that ALWAYS lifts my mood when I'm down
"It's my Life" by Bon Jovi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx2u5uUu3DE# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx2u5uUu3DE#)
Death by White Lies.
Rolling Stones, 'git offa my cloud' (I don't remember the proper title :P)
and 'Paint It Black'.
I feel like a Woman
Shania Twain
Oh, I-I-I know ... it's only rock and roll ... but I like it, like it ... yes, I do !!!
It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (But I Like It) The Rolling Stones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6yh_joWP20#)
8) Rock on!
Rolling Stones, 'git offa my cloud' (I don't remember the proper title
It's called, not surprisingly, GET OFF OF MY CLOUD.
GET OFF OF MY CLOUD
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby
The telephone is ringing
I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you
Well, I guess I'm doin' fine"
He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?"
I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen
I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around, baby, two's a crowd
