No, not like lifting weights. I've given up on life when it comes to pursuits like that, at least at the moment. You see, I'm an all-or-nothing type of person, and I'm currently going with nothing when it comes to life. I had cold pizza for breakfast yesterday at 5 pm, for example. Despite waking up at 4:30 am. Who cares, right?
There's no way that love can help
Your twisted ankles when you fall
So find a way to brace yourself
Your heart's a muscle and that's all
Clem Snide is a band I'd pretty much forgotten about. I started listening to them around probably 2002 or 2003, I think when I was living in Texas. I saw them live once and it was pretty good. At the same show, I saw an artist called Heligoats that I thought was really bad. Oddly enough, I still listen to Heligoats all the time. Their record are great. It would seem that either I saw them on an off night or maybe my brain was just off that night.
This is a pretty catchy song, I think. The singer's voice is pretty nasally and some people probably won't like that. That's something with which I cannot help them. For some reason, the album this song is on is really the only one I like or listen to by Clem Snide, but that happens with some bands sometimes.
This post is part of an ongoing series in which I document the songs which are in my head immediately upon waking. I've been making them for a long time now.
Do you wake up with songs in your head on a regular basis? What song was in your head this morning? Comment below, I'd love to hear from you!
