Can You Stand the Rain
New Edition
What's your favorite song to listen to in the rain?
I’m not a fan of being outside in the rain. I know that it’s good for the area that I live in to have it on a regular basis. I just don’t like being cold and the rain we see is usually associated with the colder months.
For some, rain is rejuvenating. For me, it’s sadness that I have to go through.

Share a song that captures the feeling of being seventeen.
Seventeen wasn't a good year for me.
I don't even remember what this song was about but it's the first thing that comes to mind.
Share a song that sounds like your ideal Sunday morning.
My friends like to joke that this was made when Maroon 5 was good. And I have to admit it’s still my favorite album and I listen to it semi frequently.
What song makes you feel grateful?
What I like about this song is the passion. Sia’s voice has this way of almost cracking as she screams out how she’s still alive and still fighting.
There have been too many times when I’ve been close to death. A wrong step here, a slight change in circumstances and I would not be here writing this post.
For me, this also stirs up that feeling of questions about why am I alive. Life is for the living and we have an opportunity to do something with it. Do not sit there waiting for death because it’s going to get you anyway.
Live.
And be alive.
Back to Life
Soul II Soul
Share a song that feels like it has healing powers.
This actually isn't the first song that came to mind, but it definitely fits.
For me it gets me into a groove and I can somewhat drift into the zone.
WAP (feat. Megan Thee Stallion)
Cardi B
What's a song you only listen to when you're completely alone?
That's a weird prompt. The fact that you would online listen to alone but you'd put it on your blog.
Sure, I'll bite.
I listen to it because it has a great beat and different from the musical misogamy that I enjoyed in my youth.
Nobody Speak (feat. Run The Jewels)
DJ Shadow
What's your favorite opening line from any song?
This song is not for kids, but makes me laugh every time I hear it.
Picture this
I'm a bag of dicks
Put me to your lips
Yes, definitely not going to listen to that at work.
Share a song that makes you feel invincible.
One of the best tracks on the Lego Batman soundtrack. It's a fun song that just gets me going.
Nobody Wants to Be Lonely (With Christina Aguilera)
Ricky Martin
What song do you turn to when you need to cry?
I really enjoy this song because it also gives me hope in the despair. I also think about how Christina Aguilera should be a bigger name in music. She can sing very well, but I think it just comes down to song choice.
Killing In the Name
Rage Against the Machine
What song feels like a personal anthem right now?
I didn't hear the message of this song when I first head it years ago. It saddens me we are still dealing with these things.
