This is the song I turn to when I'm tired of drowning in depression (and after I spend a few hours listening to Death Cab for Cutie while driving home from work).

MC Chris Is Dead by mc chris.

It is rap, yes, and other than my inexplainable, and at times worrying, love for Tupac Shakur, this song is the only rap song that I love, without also simultaneously hating it.

Why? Because it's a rap about zombies.

Provided here are the lyrics: ( Behold. )


This is not a song meant inspires the masses (unless you're wanting to raise a zombie army), there's no secret meaning hidden in the way the words are place or how they're pronounced, and it doesn't make you stay awake and debate the meaning of life or the vices and sins of humanity. But it is so funny, guys. ♥

I'm going to break the pattern guys, and post only one song today. [:

But it is, as of... last Monday at 11 o'clock at night or so, my favorite song ever ever ever. It has literally been on repeat every time I turn on my iPod, in the car blasting through the speakers on the highway, or in my computer, which is kind of epic (as such a thing hasn't happened since I fell in love with Imogen Heap two years ago).

This is that song:

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime



(And this is its music video.)

Why do I love this song? Because I can listen to it for hours and not get bored. It is so silly and makes me laugh so hard, and there are times this week where I've been feeing real shitty, and this song brought me up (specifically the line: This is not my beautiful wife!) each and every tiem. It's kinda bouncy and has one of the coolest beats, and every time I liten to it, it kind of leaves me feeling cool and refreshed (might be the repeated references to water). Once in a lifetime has a message in there, too (wiki mentions existentialism, but personally I go the middle-age crisis route), which just makes this for me.
