Day 6, People Don't Dance by RDGLDGRN the song that got me to dance in public for the first time ever when I seen them live opening for another band that I went to see, turned the whole place into a dance floor this was downtown Houston the night after Altuve killed the Yankees great times. That band fucking tore it up one of my favorite set I ever seen.

Day 9 - Lots of songs make me happy. Metal isn't all doom and gloom you know! Here's a happy song from a British power metal band I got to see twice last year.

Day 9 - a song that makes me happy.
Honestly there is so very many songs that make me happy, even if they are super depressing so this is really a hard one 😅

The winner though is Stand By Me - Ben E. King
I adore this song, and will happily listen to it on repeat so I sing along with it a billion times!

The cover by Lemmy is also fantastic

Drugs and alcohol Love And Reggae by Collie Buddz, lyrics

So if you looking for me in a reggae party me there inna di corner
Mi have drink inna me left hand and me right hand have a spliff of marijuana
And when the baseline drop inna de riddim me have fi wine up on a daughta
Me just a wine to the riddim and later you know what's coming after
I tell you wha
I don't know 'bout you but
I can only live my life one way
All I wanna do everyday is
I just wanna smoke drink and love my girl to some reggae
I call her on the phone, tell her I'm coming home so get ready
I got some weed and a bottle of booze
All I wanna do is
Smoke, drink and love my girl to some reggae

My driving song, a dope af Cali reggae cover version of drive by Incubus

Day 9 song that always makes me happy, Margaritas/The Squeeze by Elovators

Day 9: A song that makes me happy.

I don't know what it is about this song that make me happy.  Is it how it sounds?  Is it the wacky video?  Is it all of the above?




Hello Again - The Cars

Day 2, song with a number in the title: 911 Is A Joke- Public Enemy

Day 9

A song that makes me happy.



I could post 100 different songs easily. But having thought about it, this is one of those songs I'll never hesitate to turn up in the car when it's on the radio.

Paul Dempsey's covid cover is also fantastic.

Day 9 - Hurt - Johnny Cash

Day 10

I'm a few days behind.

Day 7 - A Song to Drive To: Hysteria - Def Leppard



Day 8 - Song about Drugs or Alcohol: Cocaine - Eric Clapton 



Day 9 - Song that Makes you Happy: Kiss on my List

One of my happy memories of my childhood was my mom blasting Hall and Oates and us dancing around to this song.  This is my happy song.

I need to know the story behind this song making you happy? This song makes me introspective.

It was supposed to be Day 10

Day 3, song that reminds you of summer. Walk Of Life by Dire Straits



One of my earliest summer memories is having a big family BBQ and this song being on constant rotation. Plus the "sports version" of the music video adds to the summer vibe.

Day 10 - A song that make me sad.

The fact that this was my favorite band's last ever song, on their last ever album, would be sad enough as it is.  But considering the man who wrote it, a master lyricist and a GOAT drummer, was gone less than a decade after writing it, makes it hit a bit more harder.




The Garden - Rush

Metallica - One. The concept of that song, the lyrics, the music video, it's really harrowing.

RT's Day 8
Song about drugs or alcohol



No story here I just love this song and love Billy Strings.

RT's Day 9
Song that makes me happy



This is the first song that I remember my daughter singing along to in the car. I randomly started listening to this album again when she was around 4 years old and Mrs RT was pregnant with our 2nd. After she gave birth my daughter and I were driving to the hospital the day after so she could visit and from the backseat I just hear "dad put the radio song on." Took me a couple minutes of back and forth to figure out what song she meant, but when it came on she started nodding her head and sang along to the backing vocals on the chorus, just going "private radio!" over and over again.

She had danced to plenty of music before that but that is the first time I can remember her singing along with words. That's a memory I am going to cherish forever.

I am so excited someone else knows Billy Strings! I love Dust in a Baggie

Day 10 - song that makes me sad

See You Again - Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth
I love Fast and the Furious and have always been a huge fan of Paul Walker - his smile is the exact same my brother Craig does, they have always had similar humours. When I watched the first 2 Fast movies I could see Craig in the character Brian and I think that’s why I was so attached.

Broke my heart when Paul passed away, can’t listen to this song without thinking of Paul and the cast.

RT's Day 10
Song that makes me sad



I was going to pick something by Bruce Springsteen or Hootie & The Blowfish because all their songs remind me of my dad who passed away in 2019, and I also considered "Adam's Song" for obvious reasons, or a couple by Flogging Molly that really tug at the heart strings...but decided to go with a song that absolutely broke me and I don't think I can actually listen to it again.

I think the reason it destroyed me was because it was a perfect storm of timing. Bo Burnham's "Inside" came out during the pandemic around a time when myself and probably millions of other people were realizing that life as we knew it was going to be different forever. I can only compare it to witnessing 9/11 in terms of how in a short period of time, most of western civilization was being forced to recognize that things were out of their hands, they were changing forever, and there was nothing we could do about it.

It's a feeling of helplessness that hits only once or twice in a lifetime. And then there is this comedian who releases a special on Netflix that is supposed to be funny, and it mostly is, but it also gets really deep and dark and taps into some feelings that a lot of people (myself included) didn't realize we were having. Then this song came on and I lost it. I cried and cried and let it all out, and even just typing this right now is making me choked. I have maybe listened to this song once since, and I can't again without those feelings coming back up. I just searched it on youtube and it started playing and I was like "nope nope nope" and paused it so I could post it.

Another country boy capturing the painful reality of life and depression without the bullshit.

It's blue collar, it's working class and it's not a glitz or glamour affair. It's not always a story of empowerment, it's just life sucks some times and here's a song about that.

Day 11 - Dawns - Zach Bryan (w/ Maggie Roger’s)

Day 4: Song that reminds you of someone you would rather forget.

You Jerk by Newfoundland's own Kim Stockwood. Pretty self explanatory.

Day 11: A song I never get tired of.




Scenes From an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel

RT's Day 11
Song I will never get tired of



My favourite Green Day song. Been listening to it since the album came out and it's never really left my rotation. A few others have also hung in there over the years, and I listen to them off and on, but this one song always hung around no matter what I was listening to.

It's short and sweet, fast and punchy, upbeat with depressing lyrics..basically everything that made 90's Green Day awesome. It's the perfect song to represent them imo, and if I'm really being honest I think Insomniac is probably my favourite album of theirs. Dookie is great and was obviously their biggest success, but for me Insomniac was a perfect follow up and a better album top to bottom imo.

I'll go with a modern rock classic.

I rate Dookie, Insomniac and Nimrod on roughly equal standing. There's very little to separate them besides Nimrod being a bit bloated. They're all amazing.
