– Ripple by the Grateful Dead
So yea... I've only known this song for I dunno, half a year or something? However, it's pretty much the only thing that keeps me going and saves my soul from Law School. The lyrics describes what music is, I think, and what the grateful dead tries to do with their music. It also says a lot about life and stuff. My favorite part might be the ending;
“You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home“
I don't know why I like it, but it's something along the lines of a semi-stoic attitude to life. I'll try to take care of myself. I don't want to depend on other people too much, and after all, you can't depend on other people in the long run anyway. But it also says that the singer really loves you, and that if he actually could he'd fix you up. As a person who does care about a lot of people, my friends and family, I can really relate to that too. Also, when you really feel that a person would help you out no matter what if he or she only could you know you've got a real friend.
- Omkring tiggarn' från Luossa, lyrics by Dan Andersson.
First of all, the song is translated in the clip so even non-swedes can get the lyrics. Not that I really understand all of it anyway. My extended family has been singing this since on different occasions as long as I can remember. My dad used to sing this one for me and my sister when we were really young and couldn't sleep. Dan Andersson (dude who wrote it, some 100 years ago) wrote a lot of really good poems. It was also played (poorly) at my uncle's funeral which ads even more emotions to it. When I die I want someone, preferably somewhat talented, to sing this tune.
– Tattoo by the Who
This is pretty much the theme song of me and my sister. I don't have a brother, but she's just as good. The songs a bit about growing up, a lot of fun and probably mostly a result of Pete Townsend being high as fuck. Nonetheless I think this one will squeeze into the top3 cause there's probably not one person in my life that's more important then my sister.
As for today, I've won a couple of bi's in poker (NICE!) in December (mostly in the first 2-3 hours) and I've been working my ass of with a gay ass presentation we'll do tomorrow. I love the people I work with but I hate the assignment. Also, we'll do it on the same subject as the daughter of the Swedish Chancellor of Justice. She happens to be a person I'd love to pwn, for various reasons, but unfortunately she actually studies hard and stuff so I guess I'm a pretty big dog. At least I'm a good bit better looking then her.
