Day 4- A religious song (or song about religion)
My boy Frank Turner has a good song about religion,, kinda
 
Day 4: A religious song (or a song about religion)
"I won't believe in Heaven and Hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there, you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing, I don't believe in–
It's You"
 
Day 4: A religious song (or a song about religion)
I've been struggling with this one all day. My immediate thoughts were to Marilyn Manson's Antichrist Superstar album but that music was from confused and angry me and never quite fit though it was part of my teen rebellion.. because I grew up in an agnostic environment. Why was I rebelling against a belief I'd never been taught?

So I expanded my search, looking for key words and expressions. Then I went back to my trusty 'liked songs' playlist and found Lateralus. I appreciate the guy who introduced Tool to me, or rather, I appreciate the lessons I learned from him and the gift of new music.

Older me can hear the math and music and hurt and hope that called out to my youth. A Fibonacci rhythym with portmeantaus, a clean guitar I could figure out how to play, an overlapped vocal range I could mostly sing. Just enough esoterics to encourage deeper thought, with misdirection to create snickers when you dive so deep into meaning you forget to just.. listen.

And after this ramble.. I offer 46 and.. Kidding! I didn't quite get my 2nd song option so

Lateralus - Tool
 
It's now 4am and I've spent most of the past ~18 hours or so battling coughing fits and alternating between sweats and chills. Chills are winning at the moment so I feel like frosty cold garbage. It also means I've spent much of the past day re-watching comfort movies. Yay!
Day 5: A song from the soundtrack of your favorite movie

Day 4: A religious song (or a song about religion)

I was going to choose a secular song(haven't used that term since this song came out) but @curious_slut made me remember that I was once a Jesus Freak. Two of these band members have become heathens like me.

Jesus Freak - DC Talk


Edited to add: Just found out one of them is an alleged sexual predator. That makes me sick.

Day 3: A song for a lazy weekend morning

When I think of a lazy weekend morning, I don't think of it alone. This song is kind of about that

Elliott Smith - Say Yes

It's very difficult for me to pick a favorite movie. One of my favorites is definitely Good Will Hunting and it did introduce me to a musician I love, for which I'll be forever grateful. Pretty sure this song/soundtrack won some awards.


Elliott Smith(again) - Miss Misery
