Fully in support of this, and love the idea of Forum members suggesting the words @Duncan! I’ll pin it for today, as well.

Do let me know if you need any help keeping it rolling each week, and I will definitely be joining in as well, even with my rather ‘elder emo’ music tastes.

Hello @Spangleystar I am sure @Erica won’t mind you choosing the words today.

My offerings are I’M SO TIRED by The Beatles

And WIRED FOR SOUND by Cliff Richard.

Sorry I don’t know how to include the YouTube links.

Wishing you well @Spangleystar Willow x

Well done @Willow I couldn’t think of anything other than bleak songs which is why I was happy for someone else, but you managed to - so you inspired me to think of less bleak choices!

For TIRED - I was waiting for the sun to come up impatiently from 3 this morning so I went for Norah Jones: Sunrise

For WIRED - the feeling I had whilst waiting for sleep in the first place could only be Faithless: Insomnia

@Willow your songs :slight_smile: Not sure why I can’t get the image up on the Beatles track but the link works! Oh it’s just appeared - I’m impatient, tired and wired it seems :rofl: Hope you are feeling good x

Great suggestions, @Spangleystar and @Willow ! Here are my two…

TIRED (with a language warning for a couple of swear words): “Brain Stew” by Green Day (1995) - the first band I ever saw live with a friend in my teens, and my love of them has never waned. A classic 90s alt-rock song about insomnia and being unable to sleep.

WIRED: “Electric Feel” by MGMT (2009) - I feel it captures a dreamy, buzzing, and heightened sensory experience that’s a bit like that feeling past tiredness of being wired/slightly disconnected.

You’ve got me right in the feels with that Green Day tune, love them too. Great choices!

I’m so excited to see this! Great choices so far. My offerings are:

TIRED (although could also be wired I guess): No Sleep Till Brooklyn - Beastie Boys

WIRED: Plug in Baby - Muse

I’m not allowed to include links, is that cos I’m relatively new to the forum?

Edit, Seems to have worked now, thank you @Ceri_BloodCancerUK

Hi @Barry1, that’s right - users build up ‘Trust levels’ over time (reading, posting, responding, liking others’ posts) that allow them some extra features (like sharing links). That’s to stop spammers creating an account and immediately being able to share nefarious links.

However, I have now manually moved you up into a more trusted category, so could you try sharing links now?

I LOVE the Kinks, such a good choice @Erica!

And @Barry1, both brilliant chouces. Muse are still one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.

Aww it’s so lovely waking up to find all this great music! Love those word choices @Spangleystar, look at how many cool songs they’ve inspired. What a great mix of styles and eras too :headphone:

I think for TIRED I’ll share Sleep Till They Die by La Luz (an early song of theirs that first caught my attention and made me a fan): https://youtu.be/-bICioGUj00?si=AaY0ZkwPV9hn7QTh

For WIRED how about Nightclubbing by Grace Jones (reminds me of road trips with my other half blasting out her music along forested roads): https://youtu.be/iylCE1vFsXM?si=Q_85rfJ5OWXarPc6

Isn’t she amazing @Barry1?! Been fortunate to see her live a couple of times and she’s still as fierce as her character in that Bond film (weirdly just realised it was filmed where I am now!).

So glad you like La Luz @Spangleystar, I think they’re from Washington state originally but moved down here—I totally resonate with their song California Finally! Have you heard Shannon & The Clams? Another great local surf rock-adjacent band that are amazing live :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Brilliant @Duncan for re starting this. There’s plenty of others who seem really on board judging by past comments and what’s been shared today.

My choice for this week is for anyone who might be feeling flat and might find benefit from something positive.

It’s by Kate Rusby an English Folk Singer from Barnsley.

Title of track is Today Again

Find words uplifting
