Name a song that makes you feel (blank)
And post the line that does it!

For me, "Watching the Detectives" by Elvis Costello

'I don't know how much more of this I can take.
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake.'

Utterly SEXY!

1. Bad Religion - Let Them Eat War
It's not a specific line so much as the opening/main riff.

It makes me feel motivated because it essentially served as my theme song from July-November 2004, when I was working on campaigns. :)

2. If I had 3 wishes...
One of them would be a soundtrack to my life.

3. I have this weird thing where I associate particular songs with events
in my life, so everything, every milestone, ever failed relationship has one song associated with it. And it usually isn't a song that has lyrical content that has anything to do with the event, it just happened to be whichever song I listened to the most that that time. :shrug:

4. I definitely have the same thing.
I even do it with food, which is weird.

Like when my mom died, my Dad had a real tough time with it and listened to the same damn CD over and over for months (Pretty Woman soundtrack - I doubt he even saw the movie) and there's a song by Roxette on there. That song is forever burned into the surface of my brain as a 'bookmark' for those memories.
