These Glorious Indie Days #1000 Songs

These glorious indie days will begin a long process of publishing 1000 songs that mean a lot to me.

The idea came when I saw a similar post in Tympanogram blog, where Dave and Andy proposes to post 1000 minutes of songs with 2 musics almost every day counting down to form the first minute to the 1000th one.

Their idea is to imagine they have a mp3 player with 1000 minutes free and they will be lost in a desert island forever. So in this particular situation...what could be the songs you would probably would like to hear forever...

My idea came with an alternative pattern, 1000 minutes is about 250 musics in mean. I upgraded the idea to 1000 songs.

Song #1000: Coldplay - Fix You
from Indie Live 1 Album: The Ending Summer

This song is one of the most important songs of my life. I heard it first and frequently in a difficult hard time for me, a time of deep changes, hard days coming and a whole new life I was starting to live. In the begining it was so hard that I just went to bed and tried to forget everything...I didn't feel like I was ready for the new life, and like in the song's lyrics...

"When you try your best but you don't succeed...
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse...
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?"

...I felt the same way...
Then I heard the final part of it...an inspiration..a light at the end of the tunnel...

"Lights will guide you home, And ignite your bones, And I will try to fix you"

It gives me mental sanity again to look forward and raise the head, prepare the soul and release the heart...ready for the bad and the good things of the new life, ready for the another battle, emerging myself from the bottom and try to fix...myself!

Song #999: Alexi Murdoch - Orange Sky
from Indie Live 5: Pride & Fear Like A Sunset

It's a sad but also relaxing song, one of my favourites and with an intensive emotional sentimentalism.
I pictured it in the campus, at the end of the year with the examination period on and, in a time when I actually felt lonely too much, that I needed to smoke a cigarette and watch the sunset between the river and the old canteen while listening to this song.
I heard it for 6 years since and still feel the same when listening to it.

Song #998: José Gonzalez - Slow Moves
from Indie Live 1: The Headlock

This song represents one of the moments when I was heartbroken...
I had a chance again to get together with the girl I loved but everything went wrong in that night...
I got drunk, said stupid things, act like an idiot and went home alone from the concert hall.
In the morning after I woke up feeling so bad that I couldn't move from the bed and I barely talked for hours...
I remember I went for a walk around the campus and the feeling started to disuate a little...but just a little.
