Favorite Songs in Order (6-10)

6. Creep-Radiohead
Many people think I am a creep so I guess this song fits me. To me, this is Radiohead's only good song but this one is so very good that it makes up for all the others.
If you heard or read 10 people translate their meaning for this song you would probably get 10 different replies. I am not sure what the guy that wrote this song intended but I do know what it means to me.
For me, this song is about being accepted and loved but never being able to achieve that because I am less than perfect in my own eyes which makes me withdraw and never actually giving others a chance to accept or love.
Whatever it means in your opinion, this song is one of my all time favorites. 


7. Come Undone-Duran Duran
This song has a very special meaning to me. This song, as well as the next two songs, are not about the tune or the instruments, or anything else, but they deal with the words and they deal with my dark side and my recent past.
You see, I actually did come undone. I fell apart at the seams and may pick up the pieces the rest of my life. How does one reacquire things that it took a life time to build up? How does that confidence come back after such a huge failure?
Not sure.

Here's a link to listen.

8. Overkill- Men at Work
Sometimes you listen to a song and it just hits you. This song is about dealing with the ghosts that come to you in the night time. The ghosts aren't the traditional ghosts, but the things in life that make you stressed out and keep you awake at night. Your ghost might be a bill that is due, or a school paper that is due. The ghost might be a former girlfriend or it might be losing everything you own in a business deal.
Why is that you think of those things when you try to go to sleep? In my case, I often think of those things in the middle of the night when I have been sleeping for a couple of hours.

Here's a link to the song.

9. Viva La Vida- Coldplay
This one is a giant to me. I do know it's Coldplay and that does not make me gay (not that there's anything wrong with that)
Supposedly, Coldplay stole this song from Joe Satriani. I don't know about that because I have never heard the Joe Satriani song.
Regardless, or irregardless, this song is huge to me. The first time I heard this I nearly broke down and cried because this was my song.
Sure, I never ruled the world but that's not what this is about so much, but it's about being at a certain level and being crushed.
Try driving around in a luxury automobile and then the next thing you know you are plunging toilets.
That's my life and that's why this song hits me so very hard.

But, hey, listen for yourself, freak show. :)

10. Europa- Carlos Santana
 No deep meanings to this song, just a great guitar song that always makes me feel mellow. Santana has never really gotten the love and respect that he deserves, in my opinion. 




These are my top 10 songs and they can vary slightly but not really all that much.
