Day 04 - A song that makes you sad

In 2003, singer/songwriter Elliot Smith stabbed himself after a domestic with his girlfriend. Smith died a short time later in hospital. Suicide had always been a theme close to Smith throughout his life as he suffered with depression. It's been said that during the last few years of his life, thoughts of his death weighed heavily on his soul.

Late by Ben Folds is Ben's heartfelt message to Smith after his suicide. It's takes you to a place where you think about all the people you have known that have passed.

An Emotional Response

After a week of continual bombardment of horrific images from Japan its hard to be as distressed as you were the first time. Occasionally a video comes out of Japan that shows a personal side that makes it real again. Pretty powerful images, I didn't make it past the girl making it into the building before it got to me.

Day 03 - A song that makes you happy

Awww come on!!!! Really? OK, but this one will probably turn up in a later question too. I had never really listened to it till I saw the opening scene of Lost season 2 where we first meet Desmond.

A Little Bit of Hope

So much crap on YouTube of singers who cant sing. Thankfully, there is an occasional standout. You need to at least watch the first one.

Day 02 - Your least favourite song

Seriously, how am I meant to answer this one? Anyway, what does it even mean? The least of my favourites? So of the list of my favourite songs, what is the least favourite? Who knows, I'm already thinking this 30 day thing is getting harder than its worth.

Lets try this.....

Day 01 - Your Favourite Song

This is my favourite song today. It might not be tomorrow but it's fun.

The 30 Day Song Challenge.

Remember the 30 day challenge? People blogged about themselves in a TMI fashion for 30 days. Some, includig me stopped after the first few days. Well, I thought this idea might be more fun. I might learn something about myself (Probably not) but I will have fun rocking out. Some of the questions look a but hard. Some thinking definitely required.

The Day After My World Changed Forever

I'll always remember this day as the day after Mina was born. Mina was about 22 hours old when Rove Live was interrupted for live vision of the World Trade Centre on fire.

9 Years later this footage has been released under Freedom of Information laws by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. If they felt it was worth fighting to release, I'll give it a look.
