What song describes you?

[WriterofWords]

I was listening to my music in the shower this morning,, and it struck me that one of my favorite songs really does describe me and the way I see certain things. Mine is Different Drum by Linda Ronstadt. My grandma went to school with her father, a very nice man I met in his later years when I went to Tucson with my grandma for one of her high school reunions. She has always been one of my favorite singers.
Post the lyrics and tell us why you identify with a certain song. The refrain on this song describes me so well! "I'm not in the market for a boy who wants to love only me." I've mentioned my dating woes before, I don't want a serious relationship, I just like to go dancing, have someone to see a movie with, etc. But they all get so serious so fast that I do run when they make eyes at me!

Different Drum
Linda Ronstadt

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me
Wo-oh

You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

Hmm... very hard one..

Bury Me in Smoke by Down Nola Album

Windows are closing
Keep me locked away
No chance was given
To find myself today
My time of aging
Wonder when I'll die
But when my time will come
I know the reason why

I have an escape
Alone it keeps me safe within my home
I have a reason
To keep me satisfied until I'm gone
Don't regret the rules I broke
When I die bury me in smoke

Under the world
I wait for my fate
My soul is resting
Beneath my blissful haze
My time of aging
Wonder when I'll die
But when my time will come
I know the reason why

I have an escape
Alone it keeps me safe within my home
I have a reason
To keep me satisfied until I'm gone
Don't regret the rules I broke
When I die bury me in smoke

or Hair of the Dog by Nazareth

Heart breaker, soul shaker
Ive been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they've been saying must be true

Bridge:

Red hot mama
Velvet charmer
Times come to pay your dues

Chorus:

Now you're messin with a
A son of a b
Now you're messin with a son of a b
Now you're messin with a
A son of a b
Now you're messin with a son of a b

Talkin jivey, poison ivy
You aint gonna cling to me
Man taker, born faker
I aint so blind I can't see

Gee Kate, that's a tuffy.

I can't think of a song that describes me, but two that fit my life...

I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash

and a more obscure song...

Win by Brian McKnight

 

[The Dark Unicorn]

Mi Vida Loca:

I haven't heard it in a while but...

"Mi Vida Loca
Over and Over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life"

Float on by Modest Mouse,this is a song you listen too if your going through tough times.
