Good Songs that Fit a Crappy Weather

And so I lay here sitting infront of my laptop. The weather outside is as crappy as it gets.

Strong winds, thick fog, rains of carabaos and dinosaurs, and of course, with no one to keep me warm, man I really feel like mold.

Good thing though is I have, what I believe, a collection of good music to back my droney feelings up.

So here the songs I pop on Mr. Acer to turn me on on a gloomy day.

Loser by Beck

In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose

The words on this song are just pure stupidity. But then again, I feel the music, the laziness and all that crap when it rains. So yeah, a crappy song for a crappy day makes sense.

My Hero (acoustic version) by Foo Fighters

there goes my hero
watch him as he goes
there goes my hero
he’s ordinary

Dave Grohl is another genius lyricist. Rumors say that this song is for the late Kurt Cobain. If you have no idea of Kurt then kindly visit my residence and expect some intense bitch slapping.

1979 by Smashing Pumpkins

Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we’d never see an end to it all

Rainy days, ironic as it may sound, are one of the best instances to remember the giddiest of days. And this hit of Smashing Pumpkins is forever included in my “reminiscing” songs list.

Low Man’s Lyric by Metallica

So as I write to you
Of what is done and to do
Maybe you’ll understand
And won’t cry for this man
cause low man is due

This is one of the few lonely, down tempoed songs of the highly acclaimed metal outfit. And when James Hetfield makes a lonely song, he means a lonely song.

Aqueous Transmission by Incubus

I’m floating down a river
Oars freed from their holes long ago
Lying face up on the floor
Of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river

Mike Einziger’ guitar work is dreamy in every sense of the word.

Shiver by Coldplay

So you know how much I need you
But you never even see me, do you?
And is this my final chance of getting you?

Coldplay’s Shiver is a chocful of emotions that are ready to fit any given gloomy day.

Sour Girl by Stone Temple Pilots

She turned away what was she lookin at?
She was a Sour Girl the day that she met me
Hey! What are you lookin at?
She was a happy girl when she left me

Watch the official MTV of this song and you’ll see the weirdest dancing a rockstar could ever perform. The vocal works of Scott Weiland is also spot on for a day with the greyest clouds.

Abot Kamay by The Dawn

Malapit ka sa paningin
Ngunit ika’y malayong abutin
Dalawang taong gustong kumawala
Sa gapos ng panahong nanunuya.

Jett Pangan’s voice here is as comforting as the other side of the pillow. This song, too, is a good one for the late hours of the night. If you’re alone, that is.

Moon River (cover) by Ebe Dancel

Moon River greatness + Warm voice of Ebe Dancel = orgasm for one week.

Idlip by Imago

A million tonight
A million to fight
A million to light
A million is right

The lyrics and the voice of Miss Aia is just right for the almost emo.

For my Dearly Departed by Franco

When I woke up it seems
Like my world was caving in
I won’t break down this time
I will be fine

Ocean waves serves as the song’s intro and outro. Solace is felt indeed.

Prayer by Kapatid

If I ever see you face to face again
I’ll ask you why so soon?
and in your grand debut from death
reborn again for life I pray

Karl Roy’s rugged voice appears to be a very psychedelic one in this mid-tempoed song of the now defunct Kapatid.

We Give in Sometimes by Up Dharma Down

This, for me, is the song of surrender.

Wanted Bedspacer by Ely Buendia

The perfect song for the persons who lack human warmth.

…..
Yes, they might be sad songs, but some of them would not produce tears but would rather be founts of wisdom and inspiration.

So yes, feel the lonesome when your environment suggests. There’s nothing wrong with being lonely after all.

Rainy days are just preparation for the sunny ones, so to speak. 😉
