[Rick and Roll]

There are so many....

I know I'm forgetting a bunch, but anything by the Smiths...of course it's mitigated by that light-hearted delivery.

Canto IV by Discipline always gets me..."How could there possibly be no room up there for me".

Been listening to Roine's "Wall Street Voodoo". That will depress you for days. Coincidentally, I've been listening to Joni Mitchell's Turbulent Indigo. Roine does a version of "Sex Kills", which is on that record, and a hard-hitting depressing number. The first song on TI is "Sunny Sunday", which is about a woman to tries to shoot a street light out and misses every day. Her idea is to leave when she finally hits it. It's a metaphor for futility and hopelessness. Mossy hit the nail on the head with her post. I've always felt that wasting time and just letting your life fly by is the most depressing thing of all. That and feeling trapped. Those are the songs that really hit me.

Something like Ambrosia's "Holdin' On to Yesterday"......

Now where's Terry Jacks or the "Shannon" song when you need it?

GREAT thread Joe.
