Songs of the Week: Autobiographical
For this week, I thought I'd choose songs that let people know a little bit more about the SoulHonky himself so you know where I'm coming from. I'm not going to go as in depth as John Cusack's character in "High Fidelity" but there are songs that I relate to one way or another.
Lala.com didn't have my favorite song so I'm going to start the week with Tegan and Sara's "You Wouldn't Like Me" which basically fits my self-deprecating ways. The key to the song although is the end when the women in wanting deny their true love, saying "I won't say that I'll love you forever". It's one of those weird moments in which even at your loneliest you still aren't willing to settle down long term. At least, that's how I interpret it.
And don't worry, not all of the songs will be so deep or depressing. A couple I have picked out are about how I look at living in Hollywood and my opinion of our modern era and I'll try to end the week on a hopeful note.
Continue reading to find out the song that I think best describes me.
Always held out that time would tell
Time was talking
I guess I just wasn't listening
No surprise, if you know me well
And as we're walking toward the train station
There's a whispering rainfall
Across the boulevard, you slip your hand in mine
in the distance the train calls
I'm the kid who has this habit of dreaming
Sometimes gets me in trouble too
But the truth is
I could no more stop dreaming
Than I could make them all come true
