Title: Which NMA song sums up the way you feel RIGHT NOW?
Post by: Master Ray on August 28, 2013, 10:53:57 PM
For me, sadly, and especially after reading the Operation Vendetta thread, it has to be 'Modern Times'...  :'(

What's on your mind right now and which tune sums it up?

Hope this thread finds you in a better mood than I am...

No Greater Love - because really, my fella saved me from a very different life. Just reflecting upon that, today.  :)

Big Blue - cos I thought of it out walking the dog staring at the sky and then had a flashback to singing it to my son while changing him at 3 months or so (and thats 15 years ago!) Beautiful.

Nice posts!  Well, maybe not the one about killing your neighbour (although I sympathise, Comber, was in a similiar situation a few years back... call me if you need an alibi!)...

Please, keep 'em coming!

Maybe Aimless Desire...

That song just kinda describes the lives of all of us small individuals chained to this patterned world... Or at least that's how it can be understood.

Kind of "Get me Out" today. For the beginning that says "get up early every morning just to put your make-up on".
eheheheh
Yeah, not every day, but sometimes I do that.  :-*

If Cameron hadn't been defeated in his bid to get us into another war and subsequently having Barack throw down a dismissive message about how France is 'America's oldest alley' (yeah, that's ten years after America was basically trying to destroy Frances reputation because they didn't automatically follow the US into the current Gulf War), I'd be saying '51st State'...

But in view of that, I suppose it has to be 'Today Is A Good Day'...

Note to any US readers... I'm talking about the government, not the people.  Been to the US several times and loved the folks I met there.

Green and Grey. Quite often feel like the subject of that song. Left home for greener pastures, etc. Don't look down on anyone who chose to stay - still really close to family and friends back there - but bloody homesick today, and it resonates even more than usual.

Sorry to hear that, Paul. Can't even imagine how hard that must have been.

All best.

Today? Dunno probably virtually all of 'em in one way or another. Just another non-notable day but NMA are there in the background ready to soothe/provoke whatever floats into the heart and maybe that's what makes this band special, it's kinda' hard to not find some song somewhere that reflects where you're at right now. Here's a question tho': Just Make It Stop - Low is a special song for me but can anyone come up with an NMA song that touches on the same feelings? Just curious cos it seems interesting to try and see what other people take from this 30+ year back catalogue of honesty.

I have been deliberately having an NMA less few weeks so I appreciate the new album more than I was already bound to anyway - actually I did sneak a little listen to TLOHC in the car the other day, but it's a bit like giving up smoking, the odd crafty one doesn't count as long as you have your fingers crossed behind your back (mind you that did make driving the car difficult...) lol ; ~ D

BUMP!

Well, for me today, I'm feeling tugged somewhere between two NMA songs...
 1.  'Disappeared'... due to dearly missing the buzz this place once regularly had before facefook, fritter and the like(s) stole posting folk away from here.   :-[
 2.  'Happy To Be Here'... because even though this place is far too quiet these days, compared to 14 years ago, I'm so thankful that it still exists because I'm not (nor do I ever intend to be) on the afore mentioned social platforms.

No pain as I've got a headache. Seriously thinking about getting a tattoo with no pain in script incoperated into a peony rose as a memorial to someone special who I'm been thinking a lot about recently even if it's been 18 years. 
Soz for the depression lol

Hey Pol,  :)

From time to time, it really helps to let thoughts and feelings out / to talk about stuff, even if it's only for just a little while.  Hope today's been a little better, lighter, brighter, happier, easier for you.

Best Wishes.

As for me, I'm feeling a bit  '225'  right now.  Take care people, wherever you are in the world.  Have a great sleep.  :)

With you on that one, 8... i can't deny that i'm on FB but it's only to keep in touch with a small number of old friends.  The NMA FB page was something I was logged onto for about a month and then deleted.  Too much BS and antagonism.  That almost never happens here.  Almost...

Thanks for bumping it.  It would be nice to get back to former glories, when you could be guaranteed a fine evenings chatter with like-minded folks, but sadly so many lovely folks have moved on.  And respect to them!  Sending them all the best if they happen to read this. I see some of those folks at gigs, looking forward to seeing you again!

Hey, buddy.  I think it was the latter.  But I'm not sure.  I seem to remember such a lot of crap that I couldn't be bothered with.

Like I said, I keep FB for close personal friends and THIS place for my NMA friends.

I do not know why but instinctively Vengeance. I dont know against who or what but I am just extremely frustrated and pissed off right now.
Since last Thursday I was in perfect shape train swim go out play with my daughter after school etc. since Thursday:
one guy at a concert enters in the muscle of mu right leg causing severe muscle contusion. I have not even seen who the asshole was;
I hurt muscles of my back doing a stupid movement at the gym the day after;
On sunday I feel pain at the small finger of my right feet no idea why it s red ans swallen and painful no bloody idea why (never realised someone stepped on my finger or that I kicked something so hard and I was never drunk so.....no idea); and it is the same now............
To end yesterday I had fever also no bloody idea why as I have never fever or am never really sick.
What the fck..................

sorry too much bullshit to swallow in just a few days and before I was truly in great shape.
Sorry for that.

As if the pandemic wasn't hard and bad enough for all of us on and of this beautiful earth to go through, fcukin' HELL chose to break loose too!  I fear what's around the bend, for all of us (=mankind).  In time the planet will heal itself / overcome / survive, but we foolish 'monkeys' won't.  It's history repeating itself all over again, but on an even graver scale.  Ugh.  Ugh.  Ugh.  STOP!!  Make love, NOT war. :'(

Hugs...for whatever it is worth...

Many songs come to mind...but I'm opting for "Eyes get used to the darkness"

And when our eyes get used to the darkness, we can see the storm coming
And maybe out beyond the blackest storms, we’ll see the furthest stars

We need to believe this.

You are a genuine, beautiful soul, Stephanie. :)  If you're ever feeling down, come back to this page, and re-read this very post, because no word of it has been a lie.  One doesn't need or have to see another's face or body or whatever, face-to-face, or in person, to recognise and call out true beauty when one hears it, feels it, sees it -- when it is quite plainly, naturally, effortlessly already present, radiating, right there (or in this case right here, on this page) -- for all to love, value, cherish and appreciate.

So true, we really do.  Thank you for your lovely words, but especially for your kind and generous, virtual hug.  Even a simple little hug can work wonders, too.  Whether in person or in a more virtual manner, the same sentiment remains, is still felt.

For today, I'd like to leave you with an NMA song that I hope you treasure just as much as I do... Sunrise (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsztzXSo3kw).  I hope the sun shines for you today and everyday you need it to.  Stay beautiful Steph, where and how it matters most.  'Cause that's the REAL stuff, not the rest of it.  That other stuff stretches, ages and fades, but what's inside ALWAYS shines through, remains, no matter how hard one tries to conceal it.  So with those positive thoughts / vibes still in mind, do something you really love today... something just for you.  You're a rare find.  A rare find indeed.  Thanks for making this noticeboard even more special.  Have a pleasant afternoon, however you do choose to spend it. :)

THANK YOU!!!! Can you imagine I had almost forgotten about this song?!  :o It's beautiful, inspiring and with this clip it's just perfect.

And I really needed this today...this and your very sweet and kind words.  :)

It's been one of this...meh...kind of days where you feel awfully ungrateful because you know you actually got it so good and yet you still feel miserable and a bit whiney...and feeling so ungrateful doesn't help matters much.   :P

But your post and the song have brought a big smile to my face like you can't imagine. The day has suddenly become much brighter!  :)
