This song has contributed to my creativity.
If I were a song
I’d be in just the right key
I’d be all the best instruments
In sweet harmony
Oh, I’d play oh so loudly
In hopes that you heard
Because music is love
In search of the words
Yes, music is love
In search of the words

—When My Train Pulls In
These guitar riffs got me through this dreary, snowy Monday.
J.R.
Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy?
Even when it’s not right
Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone’s bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn’t mean you’re gonna die
You’ve gotta get up try, try, try
Gotta get up and try, try, try
You gotta get up and try, try, try
—Pink
You got me waiting
You got me waiting
When I’m telling you everything you need to hear
Like baby come now
You got me waiting
But I can’t keep waiting on you
Actin’ like whatever I’m a always be around
—Fantasia
#TGIF
Party people say, party people say
Ay, it’s a new day, it’s a new day
The world is getting ready, everybody’s ready, yeah
For a new day, for a new day
Celebrate and say, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
—50 cent and Alicia Keys
You’ve got this power over me
My shadow hungers for you
But we must not ever meet
No, we’ve got to play it cool
—Elvis Perkins
—Army of Ancients
Soundtrack to this hump day.

Monday, Monday
So good to me.
Monday, Monday
It was all I hoped it would be.
Oh Monday morning
Monday morning couldn’t guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me.
—Wilson Phillips
