Day 13: A song about wishing

Really kicking myself for not making this the prompt on 11/11, so just pretend it’s two days ago.

I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen
Putting your groceries away and washing your dishes
I could float around your tongue and ease the tension
And then when you were done you'd just quiet down


The Avett Brothers - I Wish I Was

 
Day 13: A song about wishing

I wish, I wish, I wish...

I had a sweetly positive one all picked out, but @Whiskeyjack shot that down, so this is his fault. It was the harmonies that drew me in on this one when it came wandering out of my speakers, and this stripped down live version even more so. But lyrically, it is sweetly brutal. This is "wake up at 3 AM wishing."

"I wish that I was smarter and I wish I could
Communicate a thought without being misunderstood
But it's better keeping quiet, yeah, it's easy staying put."

and

"I think I have become the person that I said I never would."

But the real hit for me is the final line. And I wish, I wish, I wish...

"Wishes (live)," Tiny Habits

Note; I didn't actually listen to this again before posting it.
Making a song this sad should be illegal, and I just can't deal with that but god damn it it's beautiful.

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here

I love this song, and have forever.

I also love that it is one of the songs you are forbidden from playing in a guitar store...

while it's still hard for me to separate the man from the music, he had some amazing hits a long the way, especially before 2000...still rip

"I wish I didn't know now what I didn't then..."
