Soundtracks To My Revelations
Songs to which I've realized many, many awesome things, drug-inspired or otherwise. |
| 1 | Radiohead
Motion Picture Soundtack
My favorite song off of Kid A, a grand and tragically hopeful masterpiece. |
| 2 | Arcade Fire
Intervention
Reminiscent of Camille Saint-Saens 3rd symphony, all around amazing, and lyrics that hit some major chords with me. |
| 3 | Ratatat
Seventeen Years
The first time I heard this I was watching the sun rise over Lake Mendota. I will never forget that moment. |
| 4 | Flogging Molly
If I Ever Leave This World Alive
One of those songs that makes you grateful for everyone who gives a shit about you, and vice versa. |
| 5 | Bruce Springsteen
Born to Run
The Boss knows what it is to be wildly and unflinchingly in love. |
| 6 | The Flaming Lips
Do You Realize??
"You realize the sun doesn't go down, it's just an illusion caused by the world spinnin' round..." |
| 7 | Pink Floyd
Time
David Gilmour's guitar solo gives me chills every time I hear it. Time is ticking by... |
| 8 | Iggy Pop
The Passenger
The Godfather of Punk will always receive my due respect. This despondent ballad is a great one to have a smoke to. |
| 9 | Led Zeppelin
Stairway to Heaven
Come on... you can call me cliche, but this song gets me every time. |
| 10 | The Velvet Underground
Heroin
Smack is a dangerous, dangerous thing. |
| 11 | Fugazi
Epic Problem
Sometimes it kinda hits you out of nowhere... shit is fucked up. |
| 12 | Sonic Youth
Hey Joni
"When will all these dreams come true?" |
| 13 | Rage Against the Machine
Born of a Broken Man
Written by Zack about his father, one whose lyrics still keep me awake. |
