Day 1 — Your Favorite Song

My favorite song...
Wow, just thinking about this makes my heart beat faster. Music flows through my veins, it has played (and still plays) such an integral part of my life. I have never NOT been around music growing up. My dad has played guitar and some bass in numerous bands, he totally rocks and I am giving him total credit for my music genius. Yes, I said genius. He made me listen to classic rock growing up and always quizzed me on who it was(and I'm pretty good)...and he does it now with my younger siblings. When my sister Alex was about 5 or 6 she could tell you all the members of KISS..which equals total awesomeness! Enough of that...back to my favorite. It makes it especially difficult to name one "absolute" favorite, so many genres, so many choices, so many songs that I can listen to and be taken back to a memory. So here it goes..favorite song, not only for the music but for lyrics as well, which I will share (aka, copy and paste from a lyric website, ha ha ha).

Tara's Favorite Song






Blue Oyster Cult's "Burning For You"
You probably heard of the band by the famous SNL skit "More Cowbell". Same band, different song.

Home in the valley
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me

Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home will never be

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due

And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you

Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain't no reason
Got no time to slow

Time everlasting
Time to play besides
Time ain't on my side
Time I'll never know

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong or what's right
I've seen signs of what (freezing their eyes) went through

Well I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you

Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due

And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you



Let me explain. These lyrics don't really reflect anything about me, the whole "home isn't pretty, home will never be", doesn't really pertain to me. I just really like this song and the music. I actually saw the band live back in 2003 and hearing it live just did it for me.

I asked Larry if he had a favorite song and he was like "nope". LOL, maybe he'll chime in on another favorite :)



XOXO

Tara
