Now the sound of music comes in silver pills. . .

It's time to start blogging again. 
In an attempt to keep my interest, I'm going to follow a series of blogging challenges. 
Along with this, I'm thinking of trying out the 365 day photo challenge in the new year, but I will probably end up posting this on my Facebook.


The first challenge I'm going to attempt is a 30 day song challenge. 
Here is the list of questions that I will answer over the next 30 days:

Day 01 - Your favorite song

Day 02 - Your least favorite song

Day 03 - A song that makes you happy

Day 04 - A song that makes you sad

Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone

Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere

Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event

Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to

Day 09 - A song that you can dance to

Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep

Day 11 - A song from your favorite band

Day 12 - A song from a band you hate

Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure

Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love

Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you’re happy

Day 22 - A song that you listen to when you’re sad

Day 23 - A song that you want to play at your wedding

Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh

Day 26 - A song that you can play on an instrument

Day 27 - A song that you wish you could play

Day 28 - A song that makes you feel guilty

Day 29 - A song from your childhood

Day 30 - Your favorite song at this time last year

So, here goes.

Day 01 - Your favorite song 

This is actually a REALLY difficult question for me to answer, as it usually depends on my mood, and even then there are more than several songs I could pick.
However, I am going to select Seventy Times 7 by Brand New. 
This song appears on the band's debut full-length album, Your Favorite Weapon, released in 2001.
I'm selecting this song for various reasons - when I don't know what on Earth to listen to, this song never fails to entertain; the dramatic changes in mood throughout the song; the fond memories of how ecstatic I was when, after having seen BN three times, I finally got to see it performed live; and just because the lyrics are so angsty while the tempo is so upbeat. 


My favourite lyrics from this particular song are as follows:


So, is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with.
'Cause I've seen more spine in a jellyfish,
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids. 
Have another drink and drive yourself home,
I hope there's ice on all the roads.
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
and again when your head goes through the windshield. 


It speaks for itself.
