Sorry for starting the new day but it is normally done by now. I hope I am not overstepping.
Thanks for the thought but remember to check the first post in the thread if you don’t see a prompt for the day. This month, all the prompts are already listed
 
This prompt is hard!! I usually don't use songs to help me make a decision... they make me realize after the fact that I made the wrong one. Gonna have to think about this one...
This is a very difficult prompt!! I’m not even sure I have an answer to it but I will be mulling it over for the day
 
Day 25: A song that helped influence a decision you made
For reals, without the manspreading

I’m a bit of an overthinker. Analysis paralysis is a real thing. I don’t have songs the influence the choice but I got a few songs that kick me in the butt to actually MAKE a choice. This is one of my favorites.

Doesn’t get any better than this.

 
Day 25: A song that helped influence a decision you made

Another sleepless night. Another night with just me and the music. Though some times even that gets boring. I looked to my right, and there's that tiny bag, glaring at me. Plastic and see-through, it's contents beckoning. I know how much fun they are...but alone? No... I shouldn't. Should I? Well, I did. Kind of.

I ground up a tiny amount, .3 grams or so, and stirred it into a glass of lukewarm water, added some lime and lemon, then gulped it all down.

What followed was not a night of visions and melting walls, but a night of dancing by myself and living inside the music. It was beautiful, spiritual, and something I recommend people try at least once in their life.

Microdosing magic mushrooms: 10/10, would dance again.

Little Dragon - High

 
Day 25- A song from when you were in high school.
No long story. Just a song I really liked my senior year in high school. Enough I still remember most of the lyrics.

 
Day 25: A song that helped influence a decision you made

I could've picked any song from this album but I'm picking the one with Elvira of course. The best song from the best Halloween album is why I decided I needed to make a Halloween playlist. My original had a lot of input from my ex who has very different musical tastes to me so I've revamped it today which I've been meaning to do for ages. I'm grateful for that cos it gives me a jumpstart on September 1st when I officially turbocharge spooky mode.

+1 for a song that includes a location (country, city, county, province, etc)

Huge CARNIVORE!!!!
 
Day 26: A song that has a great music video

Meat Loaf is one of the Greats of our time. His singing, yes, but also his acting. You may call it over-acting but I call it passion!! He brought so much charisma and gravitas to anything and everything he was in...
And then there's Cher. One of the sexiest people ever, and what a voice. Deep. Raw. Phenomenal.

They're so fucking hot together, it's amazing they never dated. My head-canon says they were all over each other though.

I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
I want to tell my Daddy I'll be missing in action

I'm a massive Chris Cornell fan and ToTD are my go to at times.

I'd taken steps to end things, the drugs were already in my system and I could feel them. This song came on and I knew I had to keep going. Long story short, I'm still here. Unfortunately, maybe?

 
Day 25: A song that helped influence a decision you made

I was sitting on the fire escape two floors above my apartment. It was cold, and it was raining. My right hand hurt, and was bloody. And this was playing out someone's window, really loud. It didn't influence the decision, but it was more the soundtrack to it.

See, there was this girl. Every great story starts that way. And we had been together a while, long enough to get serious. Long enough that when she decided she was going to move to Chicago, I was easy to convince to go with her. Love? I don't know. Something like it, more than infatuation less than being "true love," but on that same windy road. We had been in Chicago three months, and we were heading into winter, but I was happy for the first time in a long time. Money was tight, I was working hard, but I was happy. Really happy.

The elevator was out, so I took the stairs down. At the L station, I realized I had forgotten my book. It took me 45 minutes to get to work, too long without a book, and I was running way ahead, so I walked back. Up the stairs. Into the apartment. And to the door to our bedroom, where I saw her getting fucked by Tom, the next door neighbor with a wife and newborn. Hearts don't break -- they are too soft. They just get mashed and bloody. I wanted to beat the ever loving shit out of him. God, I wanted to break his pretty face. But when I took up boxing, I promised my coach, who was also my Grandfather, I wouldn't fight outside a ring, and not breaking that promise was worth too much of my soul. So I climbed out the window and up the fire escape. I punched the wall on the way up -- it seemed like a good idea at the time. I still have the scar on my finger. I probably cried, but I don't remember that part. But listening to Lindsey Buckingham wail? That I remember like it was this morning. "Damn your love, damn your lies." Like it was this morning.

"The Chain," Fleetwood Mac

 
Day 26: A song that has a great music video

The Day 25 prompt was hard for a bunch of reasons. This is just silly fun. The Quick and The Dead meets HP Lovecraft. (If you haven't read it, it would make a great soundtrack to R.S. Belcher The Shotgun Arcana, which is also silly fun). The video is a blast.

"All My Life," Falling in Reverse, featuring Jelly Roll.


(I may have drew blood, but that was true love...)
