- "Freedom" by George Michael: I love the, well, freedom of this song. And it goes along with my spirit right now...a newly graduated, strong, life-lovin' girl. Best lines in the song: All we have to do now/ is take these lies and make them true somehow/ all we have to see/ is I don't belong to you/ and you don't belong to me...FREEDOM!"
- "Portions for Foxes" by Rilo Kiley: I adore this song, because I related to it for awhile. Girls get stuck in this kind of rut all the time. Why do we fall for dumb asses so much? The desperation in her voice captures the mood of wanting to get out of a situation you're stuck in. Best lines: "Cause your just damage control/ for a walking corpse like me, like you...cause we'll all be/portions for foxes."
- "Day in the Life" by The Beatles: The melody of this song is beautiful. But it's no secret that the Beatles are masters of melody. It has become one of my favorite Beatles songs. Pretty, serene, sad, compelling...it's my kind of song, for sure.

The second I read the words "Freedom by George Michaels" my brain started a loop of the song in my head. I will be cursing your name as I slowly go insane!
ReplyDeletethat GM song will always be a classic. congrats on the graduation festivities!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteGeorge Michael and the Beatles... RAWK ON AND ROCK OUT!
Day In The Life: glorious song. I'm not familiar with the other two, but I found them "not terrible."
