If my week were a playlist here’s how it would have sounded…
1. Cellophane – Sia
“Look at me. I’m such a basket case, delivered to you wrapped in cellophane, waiting on your doorstep every day.”
2. Perfect Memory – Remy Zero
“Remember how they tried to hold you down and we climbed those towers, and looked down upon our town. And everything you hoped would last but just always becomes your past.”
3. Looking Through Patient Eyes – PM Dawn
“Well, define my love with attitude. Open up your mind and it will sing to you. You can always tell but I know remorse so well. I left reality early due to the lack of love.”
4. The Time of the Turning – Peter Gabriel
“It’s the time of the turning and there’s something stirring outside. It’s the time of the turning and the old world’s falling. Nothing you can do can stop the next emerging. Time of the turning and we’d better learn to say our goodbyes.”
5. Little Piece of Me – Melanie C.
“Something you can talk about, that’s something I could do without. I’m not like you. I can’t fake it the way you do.”
6. Snowblind – Rob Thomas
“I think we’re snowblind. We’ve had a hard time, and we can’t see where we are. Spending our whole lives walking the same lines, and it doesn’t seem to stop.”
7. Perfect – Snoop Dogg
“Girl, you’re perfect. God made you, I wonder if he kept the mold, or were you only made for show?”
8. Whole Thing – Peter Gabriel
“Whole thing will still go on without you. Something will still be there to move me, ’cause my own thing is always to inspire you.”
9. Straight Up – Paula Abdul
“You are so hard to read. You play hide and seek with your true intentions. If you’re only playing games I’ll just have to say bye, bye, bye, bye…”
10. Control – Poe
“Well, you may be king for the moment, but I am a queen, understand. And I’ve got your pawns, and your bishops, and castles all inside the palm of my hand.”
11. Yellow Flicker Beat – Lorde
“This is the start of how it all ends. They used to shout my name, now they whisper it. I’m speeding up, and this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart.”
12. Hope You Got What You Came For – Olly Murs
“I guess we started something we just don’t know how to start. I guess we’re brokenhearted every time we have to part.”
13. This – Rod Stewart
“There’s a few that find love on Sundays down by the sea. And they wash clean like angels high above the waves so free. I have no words to say to you. I have no dream to take you to. I have no ring for you to kiss. Baby, all I have is this.”
14. Come Undone – Duran Duran
“It’ll take a little time. Might take a little crime to come undone. Now we’ll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside. Hey child, stay wilder than the the wind and blow me in to cry. Who do you need? Who do you love when you come undone?”
15. The Journey – Dolores O’Riordan
“When I was lost I saw you pointing towards the sun. I know I’m not the only one standing here. And in the darkness I was walking through the night. I could see your guiding light very clear. This is your life; this is your moment.”
