| Love songs. |
| 10.06.05 (4:30 am) [edit] |
I just need to vent, here. I'm sick of love songs. I love some of them, but I'm tired of most of them. They're all I hear on the radio any more!! I was talking to M. about this a couple days ago. Love songs are nice, but it's the morbid "love lost" songs that get under my skin. I hate hearing a song and feeling utterly DEPRESSED after I listen to it, no matter how pretty it is. I feel that music should uplift you, ya know? Unless I'm already in a bad mood and want to hear something morbid.And, they're all basically the same thing! It's like, I'm so lonely and depressed and you're gone and I miss you and I'll die without you please come back. *siiiiiiiigh* Guess I'm just not one to sing the blues. I prefer them "songs about the Southland", workin', everyday life - you know, stuff we can all relate to. I guess that's why I like gritty, Southern rock so much. And country of course. All the good stuff about mama... and trains... and trucks... and prison... and gettin' drunk. Because they're songs about me...and who I am...songs about lovin' and livin' and good-hearted women and family and God... I'll tell you the kind of love songs I like... Hold On Loosely (38 Special), Girl From Ohio (The Outlaws), Holdin' You (Gretchen Wilson), I Need You (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Heard It In A Love Song (Marshall Tucker Band), If You Ever Stop Lovin' Me (Montgomery Gentry), Take It Easy (The Eagles), In A Dream (Badlands, covered by Bo Bice). That kinda stuff. Makes you feel good. I like some "love lost" songs too, but the majority of them aren't the type that get depressing. Like Train, Train (by Blackfoot, and one of my favorite songs), There Goes Another Love Song (by The Outlaws, and wouldn't you know it, this song is playing on the radio right now!!! LOVE it!), Tuesday's Gone (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Gone (Montgomery Gentry), Can't You See (Marshall Tucker) ....you get the idea. Oh, and Free Bird of course. I just realized all the songs I listed are pretty much by all the same artists... but hey, they're my favorites, so of course I'm partial to them because they're what I know. The only sad(der) love songs that I like are mostly by Gretchen. I just adore her. All this made me think of Diana Ross for some reason. I want to STRANGLE. HER. (not really but...you know). All her stupid songs (no offense to anybody that likes her) are the same thing. Stop cheating on me before it's too late and save our love!!! ...what the crap?? I mean... goshdarn! If I had a boyfriend or husband cheating on me, I'd SHOOT him. I'm not kidding. Not go and fall on my knees and beg for the dog to come back. (for Nat: "Come back tah me!!") I'm pretty much just ranting here, naming off songs, and dreaming of beating the crap out of Diana Ross, but I've intended to write about the love song thing for a while. I'll get off A.E.'s soap box now! *sings* Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison And I went to pick her up, in the rain But before I could get to the station, in my pickup truck She got runned over by a damned old train! |

You know, I remember that the lyrics said "mama" instead of "mom" on the radio version, but so far, NONE of the lyrics online have anything besides "mom". Did I just have this mental block and *want* it to be "mama"?? :: sigh ::

You could be thinking of the previous verse?
"....and I told him it was NOT the perfect country and western song because he hadn't said anything at all about Mama... or trains... or trucks... or prison... or gettin' drunk."
The one I hear on my country station always says "Mom" in the other part, as well as the one I downloaded!

Man, remind me never to get on your bad side. That'll teach me to call you "kid" - a nice shot in the arse. :D

LOL!!! Don't worry, that'd be the only circumstance I'd want to physically hurt somebody (the cheating thing). That, and if my family was in danger. Otherwise I'm just peachy!!
