Well Whaddaya know, it's actually Monday! I should be folding laundry but I woke up in a mood today and think I might just take a day off and leave things as they are... they'll all still be here tomorrow won't they?
When I'm in a mood I do a seemingly stupid thing: I listen to songs that amplify that mood. Of course the mood I'm talking about being in today isn't a particularly good one and I want melancholy, a sense of loneliness and a touch of comfort.
This mood calls for the following songs on my playlist, every single time:
1. Ane Brun - Lullaby for Grown-Ups
I heard her play this live in Haarlem once, and wept like a 5-year-old...
2.Mazzy Star - Into Dust
3.Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now
4. Ray Lamontagne - Be Here Now
5.Wilco - Jesus Etc.
6.Nina Kinert - A-Worn Out
3.Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now
4. Ray Lamontagne - Be Here Now
5.Wilco - Jesus Etc.
6.Nina Kinert - A-Worn Out
If these songs put you in a mood as well then I'm sorry, you're welcome to join me in a good cry and a chocolate binge sometime today. :)

I hear ya. Actually, I can't physically listen to anything that isn't furious and hateful or crushingly melancholic. :-D Wonder what that says about me. :chinrub:
Sufjan's "John Wayne Gacy Jr." brought me to tears the other day and I put it on repeat, and again.
Nice to know there is more people out there doing similar things.
