MUSIC MONDAY: What Might Have Been by Lou Pardini

The day almost passed and I almost failed to put up my Music Monday selection.  I was this close to not forgiving myself.  Hahaha.

Anyway, the past few weeks have been quite turbulent for my thesis writing.  Not only am I uninspired, my raw research data just continues to expand, meaning I have more to read and edit and filter and select as deemed appropriate for my thesis discussion.

For a moment there, I failed Prof Ben too, when work overtook schooling.  Ideally, there should be a balance but the scales have been tipped and only a good amount of 80s music can even it out again.

For that, I would like to thank Gelo of Kaffe Caffe.  If it wasn’t for the heartbreak playlist, I wouldn’t be the prodigal daughter that I am today.

I’m ready this time
I know that I’m no longer undecided

Let’s finish this shit with a bang so I can finally do my 30-second dance party.

MUSIC MONDAY: Battleships by Daughtry

I first fell in love with Chris Daughtry when he sang Hemorrhage in the before-the-live-show round in American Idol.  That was a good seven (or some) years ago and even though his elimination from that season is still a shock, he has since more than pulled himself back together.  He immediately formed a band, Daughtry, and churned out songs that were easy favorites.

It’s very tough to beat country rock for some space in my heart.  Hahaha.

While Home will always be my top Daughtry song, I must admit this took up some space too.  Even with all the booms.

Maybe it’s the wisdom of being a married man that’s why he always has the best lyrics.

I wonder if that wisdom is automatic because I am excited as hell to be married to my man too.
