HuggyDave<p>Final day of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/30DayMoreSongsChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>30DayMoreSongsChallenge</span></a> even if this this actually a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/31daysongchallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>31daysongchallenge</span></a> : Day 31: A song your best friend loves and you hate.</p><p>This is difficult because most of my friends I met because of music societies so we tend to have quite similar tastes. It's difficult to find stuff I truly hate.</p><p>I think the one exception to this rule is Crazy B*tch by Buckcherry. It's a song I kept hearing so much that I have a pavlovian hatred of it now.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ6pLKlU-8Q" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=UJ6pLKlU-8</span><span class="invisible">Q</span></a></p>

At once pastoral but also exceptionally grand and powerful. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-OzvIL4d2w" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=8-OzvIL4d2</span><span class="invisible">w</span></a></p>

I try to mix up a lot of the bands and not do the same band too many times in a row but with this question there's no way of avoiding it.</p><p>As for the song, we're just going to go with Forsaken. It's an amazing song with thier best music video ever.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRBP1rpE5y8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=dRBP1rpE5y</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a></p>

I listen to a lot of randomised playlists and song radios on Spotify so I end up picking up music I would have never found otherwise.</p><p>Choosing a recent example I stumbled upon the amazing all-female power metal band Lovebites and the song Scream For Me.</p><p>I love how much easier it is to find music that would have passed me by.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acwkphgzNg8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=acwkphgzNg</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a></p>

It's a lovely song but quite haunting at the same.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI8lrvKLzg0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=yI8lrvKLzg</span><span class="invisible">0</span></a></p>

My favourite album is Dream Theater's Images And Words, and its opening track is the legendary Pull Me Under, thier only hit single.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGRgAULYgWE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=SGRgAULYgW</span><span class="invisible">E</span></a></p>

Yesterday's song was part of a huge story.</p><p>I'm going to avoid some obvious examples and go for a song that has a bit of a unique story told in a fairly unique way.</p><p>Rush's Subdivisions is about an alienated man trying to escape the conformity of the suburbs. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYYdQB0mkEU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=EYYdQB0mkE</span><span class="invisible">U</span></a></p>

There's not many songs I wouldn't do for karaoke, and I used to sing in a band so I have the confidence to try.</p><p>As for a specific song, I often like singing A-ha's Take On Me, not because it's my favourite song by them (The Sun Always Shines On TV is underrated) but because it surprises people when I hit the higher note.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc91</span><span class="invisible">4</span></a></p>

In my own experience of songwriting, it's quite a personal, almost confessional process so if I tried to write a song I adore it'd be very different if I had written it.</p><p>With that said, if there's one song I wish I'd written it's Mr Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne, if only to actually get some facts right.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3LvhdFEOqs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=G3LvhdFEOq</span><span class="invisible">s</span></a></p>
