I’m creating a playlist to remember YOU by, what song do I add and why?
Here it is! The 'I-know-these-people-these-two-people-twenty-seven-times-then-scream-it-and-all-hell-breaks-loose' song. Enjoy.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner it's the only piece of poetry I can stand, and it's beautifully summarised in this 13 minute song.
Since my username comes from the album Ocean Machine: Biomech by Devin Townsend, it makes sense to have a song from there. Let's go with Life. This is a live version from a concert for the album's 20th anniversary. Why this song? The album as a whole isn't the most uplifting, but the song 'Life' is. It's the single from the album, it's pretty cheesy (especially with the original music video) but it's catchy, memorable. Like the album, I'm not a particularly upbeat person, but I want people to remember the positive things about me.
I've been hooked on Daylight by David Kushner. I heard it in the donut shop last week and it took me awhile to remember enough lyrics to figure out what it was. The main verse I like in it is. "There's darkness in the distance
From the way that I've been livin'
But I know I can't resist it, Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
You and I drink the poison from the same vine
Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time
Hidin' all of our sins from the daylight" A twisted soul looking redemption that he may never find. puff from a cigarette That so me 😏😝
Led Zeppelin - "Hey, Hey, (What Can I Do)." It's one of my favorite songs.
Rinaldo, HWV 7a, Act II: Aria: Lascia Ch'io Pianga. An aria by G.F. Händel. Part of his opera "Rinaldo". In the aria a betrayed queen laments the loss of her love. This is a bit like the story of my life though I'm not a queen.

They just feel like me. The first one is where I'd like to be. The second one is my essence. The third one is my current life.
