An autopsy - before death

Well don't be surprised by the title I am not tearing open any living being (even though i am kind of psycho and people assume that I get some sadistic pleasure out doing just that) oops sorry for digressing, this post is about the autopsy of my i-tunes folder called 25 most played songs.......... I looked through before resetting the song count on that list and my oh my the number of skeletons in my closet........

The results were surprising indeed and left me little red in the face. The music you listen to is like the pulse of your life as it stands. For am sure no one can be forced to listen to stuff they hate! ( on your i-pod at least). So without saying another word lets start with the dissection. Lets take it from the top!

.......... and the (dis)honour list goes as follows *drum roll* -
coming in at no.1 we have take that`s "back for good" being played just over 54 times in the last month.......... my problem with that song, well its a boy band song and take that started the whole trend, need i say more. and if by chance your wondering why the hell i was putting up with it in the first place i have my reasons and if your curious to know you can keep guessing. But it will be obvious to any one whose heard this song. and yeah am not confirming anything. *phew*

The next song on the list , well its not a mainstream track, it was Alice in chains` down in a hole........... now that's very cheerful now isn`t it? I surely don't recommend this song to anyone who is down and low. At no. 3 we have van halen with CANT STOP LOVING YOU , I think just the title is gives away a lot..... Moving on at no. 4 we have something that no one would expect on my i-pod, but its makes an appearance on my the most played list........ a Hindi song, bheegi bheegi from gangster, my excuse, well what can i say, that will give away more than i want to....... so lets just leave it at that,I can this, the track reminded me of a time gone by, a time i`ve been trying 2 erase, but the play count paints another picture and points to my failure at doing just that..... At no.5 we have one of my all time favourites and its a pity that it didn`t claim a higher spot, 4 non blondes - what`s up, am sure i`ve sung it out loud every time time that it was played and if the noise pollution levels in pune have increased over the duration of the last month you know whom to blame....... next up we have Joe satriani piece called always with me..... hmmmm........
Air supply sits pretty at no. 7 with ` "am all out of love" , now can you see a pattern emerging here.......... At 8,we have greenday breaking the sequence with, i know what your thinking but its not boulvd of broken dreams, the track is TIME OF YOUR LIFE, its a farewell song and i am sure tops every ones list at the end of college etc. that's the reason why it doesn't quite fit in, i still have a little over a year before i say goodbye to anyone. At 9, its led zepplin with Dyer maker..... and if you have heard this song.......... you will know...... who it conforms to its society - the play list. At no. 10 we have another one that conforms, bryan adams` Please forgive me, i think the song says it all!
No.11 is blind melon with NO RAIN, nice easy listening and doesn't make me look like a love sick puppy, so your always welcome on this list! Mr. Big is next with BE WITH YOU , well what did you expect? Queen with BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is at no. 13, yup n love 2 scream out the bismillah let me go part...... Next up its counting crows` BIG YELLOW TAXI, its so true you dont know what you`ve got till its gone! that's the soul of the song. 15 has pink folyd making an appearance with not the usual suspects but a track called TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET, now that's peculiar i would have expected comfortably numb or wish you were here or may be even coming back to life! Queen again at no. 16 with I WANT TO BREAK FREE, an all time fav again! 17 ACDC`S HIGHWAY TO HELL, that's surely where am going if my i-tunes folder is an oracle. i cant quite believe no. 18 its MLTR`S SLEEPING CHILD, am convinced that some little imps have been borrowing my i-pod. 19 is guns n roses with PATIENCE, man things would have been a lot better if i had some patience! rounding up the top 20 is james blunt with of course YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, and who doesn't like someone saying that to them. Jokes apart what i get from this song in spite of it being termed as pop is the joy from momentary pleasures and how they can lighten up the rest of your life ( may be i can dedicate an entire post to this!)
No. 21 n 22 have phantom planet with lonely day and California respectively, both are tributes, the former to my life and the latter to the O.C, wonder if i wud`ve heard this song if it wasn't for the series. 23 has queen with david bowie doing "under pressure", pressure sure everyone has it hanging on their heads these days! the penultimate song on the list is MR. BRIGHT SIDE by the killers, this track has this kind of an energy that i simply adore! rounding up the list we have maroon 5 with THIS LOVE..., this was totally expected!
So now the final analysis at the end of the post-mortem, its quite obvious now isn't it? am not going to spell it out and confirm any ones doubts or guesses. period!

P.S- next time you want to decipher some ones life dissect their i- tunes 25 most played folder! what you listen to says a lot about what your going through!

so am signing out now.
love,
ADITI.
