OK, how bout something to distract from all the negativity in here? I'm big into music (well listening too it anyway, since I can't play or sing it worth crap). But when there's an event happening that I'm excited about (Spring Break, Ravens football season, etc) I often create a playlist of relevant songs to get me fired up. I've done that for this primary season. So just for the hell of it, here's my current Election 08 Obama playlist, along with explanation where I think it's needed.
Does anyone else do something like this, or at least have songs they think are relevant? If so, post them here! And while I'm an Obama supporter, Hillary supporters are welcome to share too!
Be Yourself - Audioslave ( "To be yourself is all that you can do") New America - Bad Religion ("We are just a step away from realizing what we strive to be. But we've got to break out from this insulated, blind and lame senility") Yes We Can - Barack Obama & will.i.am (Song from the "Yes We Can" music video) Red Flag - Billy Talent ("Well I've never seen us act like this. Our only hope is in the mind of kids, and they'll show us a thing or two" - Youth Vote) I Believe - Blessid Union of Souls ("Open up your mind then open up your heart, and you'll see that you and me aren't very far apart" - Need for party unity) Only in America - Brooks & Dunn You Know My Name - Chris Cornell ("I've seen angels fall from blinding heights, but you yourself are nothing so divine, just next in line" - Message to the Repukes) Through the Fire and Flames - DragonForce ("Through the fire and the flames we carry on" - Getting through 8 years of Bush) When I Am King - Great Big Sea ("Well the war's been won, the fight's been fought, and you find yourself in just the spot, it's a place where everybody's got a song to sing" - Life in an Obama presidency!) American Idiot - Green Day (The whole song just fits perfectly) A Hero Comes Home - Beowulf Soundtrack ("Signs of a savior, like fire on the water. It's what we prayed for, one of our own") The Champ Is Here - Jadakiss This is Our Country - John Mellencamp Stronger - Kanye West ("That that don't kill me can only make me stronger. I need you to hurry up now, cause I can't wait much longer") Amen - Kid Rock ("Simplify, testify, identify, rectify, and if I get high stop being so uptight") Hands Held High - Linkin Park ("Jump when they tell us they wanna see jumpin? Fuck that I wanna see some fist pumping.
