For old times' sake!

I have a 20 GB ipod and I'm usually plugged to it.No i'm not gloating, well not a lot any way. Since, nano was released, quite a few people have asked me why do I need so much space?(the ipod i.e. not talking about the space my ass is taking, that is wasted real estate any way). They usually rationalize it this way..

1) The pod is too heavy
2) u are not going to listen to all 5000 songz any way!!
by now the earphones are blareing again so not sure about the rest of em.....

1) I drag my ass around don't I? whats a few more grams around the waist?
2) Yeah, by that logic I need just one song on the pod right?? NINKAMPOOP!!

That out of the way, the problem is this. Since I have most of my collection on the pod, the play lists become really, REALLY long. Some of them have music worth a week. Some, songs are obviously forgotten about coz of this. When they play again the next time it is like meeting a old friend (who u were sick off after spending all the time with). Found two such "friendz" yesterday.

1) Daniel Powter - Bad day (Nice video too)
Trivia: American Idol used this one through out the 05-06 season

Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is Lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying ON

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way OFF line
You're falling to pieces every time And I don't need no carrying ON

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile
And you go for a ride
You had a bad day

The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying ON

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride

You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
Youhad a bad day
You had a bad day

Sometimes the system goes ON the blink and the whole thing it turns out Wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that Strong
Well I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is Lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You see what you like
And how does It feel and one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

2) Afro celt sound system and Peter Gabriel- When you are falling (this is a much older one, and makes much more sense with the video...)

Trivia - Afro celt is actually the best selling band on Peter Gabriel's record label

Everyday and you crawl into the night
A fallen angel and with your wings set alight
When you hit the ground
Everything turns to blue
I can't get through the smoke
That's surrounding you

Cause when you.re falling
I can.t tell which way is down
And when you.re screaming
Somehow I don't hear a sound
And when you're seeing things
Then your feet don.t touch the ground
Cause when you're falling
I can't tell which way is down

I can see through the clouds
I can walk right through the walls
Hang me OFF the ceiling
But I can't take the fall
Should have crossed the river
But I may get swept away
Out there ON the water
You can still see me wave

Cause when you're falling
I can't tell which way is down
When you're falling
I can't tell which way is down
I keep seeing all those things
My feet don't touch the ground

Cause when you.re falling
I can.t tell which way is down
And when you.re screaming
Somehow I don't hear a sound
And when you're seeing things
Then your feet don.t touch the ground

Cause when you're falling
I can't tell which way is down


Man I forgot how great these were...
