Music in the key of drunk...

Have you ever noticed that some songs just sound better when you’re drunk. For instance, you’re driving down the highway and a song has been played at least 4 times in your 20 minute jaunt to wherever you’re going – so you change it, and rarely listen to it.

But not when you’re drunk. That shit comes over the speakers, you get really happy, start to dance, sing all the lyrics… you know, the works.

Not something you do? Ok, well maybe it’s just me. ;)

I have a blackberry… love it. (minus the inability to have apps like shazaam) I keep a list in the “notes” section of things like books I see that I’d like to read, songs I need to download, blog topics, etc.

After this weekend, I found a few songs in there that I just didn’t know what the hell drunk me was trying to tell sober me. For instance:

Bep.

I can understand that means Black Eyed Peas…. But what song did I hear that was noteworthy enough to download? No clue.

My favorite…?

Midnight.

Haha! Wtf does that even mean?! Is it a lyric? A song title? Who the hell knows…

Heartbreak Warfare

Dear John,

My, my, my... you have done it again. I thought I lost you for so many years while you were away on this "Trio" shit. I never liked that side of you. Alas, you have returned to me and are starting to write meaningful lyric yet again.

You brought me through many days of circumstance back in my 'early 20's'. You made boys fall in love with my skin singing Your Body Is A Wonderland. You made me cry every time I heard Split Screen Sadness, and you sure as hell wrote every word for me. This, I know.

Your name was plastered on my myspace with quotes like "I can't really wait to figure out what's wrong with me, so I can say this is the way that I used to be" and "I can tell you this much I will marry just once and if it doesn't work out, give her half of my stuff. It's fine with me... we said eternity. And I will go to my grave with the life that I gave, not just some melody line on a radio wave... It dissipates and soon evaporates... but home life doesn't change"

But, no, the VERY first time I heard that sultry voice of yours, you related me to my high school years - no doubt while I was still in them - when I found out there was No Such Thing as the real world...

You brought it home when you talked about "driving up 85", because I was always driving up 85 when I needed some time to think, time to sort things out. Four more exits to my apartment changed each time I moved apartments, but it was always 85.

I can spot your voice from a mile away, and could probably relate every relationship I've had to one of your songs. And, this new one, Heartbreak Warfare, is oh-so-touching and exactly what I needed.

I heard your voice on the radio today and I knew it was you. You're back. I always knew you'd come back.

Love,
Me

Lyrics that offer some sort of hope...

Don't Let It Break Your Heart
By The Devlins

Autumn leaves falling like memories stalling in your head
This pain you're feeling, your way of dealing with the past
It's complicated, he lead you on and then he let you down

Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it tear you apart, just bruises and scars they heal

Some of these guys they wanna paint a target on your head
Love you all up and leave you dying left for dead
But then somebody will play the right song and you'll dance again

So Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart
Don't let tear you apart, just bruises and scars they heal
Don't let it break your heart

And the computer adds up the numbers and it says
If you're so lonely why don't you find somebody else
Not complicated, it's kind of simple it's just one on one

Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart
Don't let tear you apart, just bruises and scars they heal
So Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart
Don't let it break your heart
