So I've been seeing this 30 Day Song Challenge thing on Facebook quite a bit lately and started the challenge today. I figure I'll post them here as well and elaborate a little more on each song. So here's the rules:
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 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 15 - a song that describes you
day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate
day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio
day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio
day 19 - a song from your favorite album
day 20 - a song that you listen to when you’re angry
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 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral
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
The thing that kept me from starting the challenge was picking a favorite song. I have a lot of favorite songs, but when I get right down to it, it would have to be Deep In The Woods by The Birthday Party.
This song has everything in it that I like about the Birthday Party - the dark content, the tension, the noisy guitar over a clean guitar and bassline following the drums, and a capability of showing power and aggression without using speed or volume, both of which can seem like a cop-out - especially for that era of the 80s. I couldn't quickly find the version from the Bad Seed EP, so I got the Peel Sessions version above. Not as good as the original, but no slouch job neither.
