Day 16: A Song I Used To Love But Now Hate

Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi from Slippery When Wet (1986) I listened to a lot of Bon Jovi while growing up. This song, among others, would play over and over again till the tape began to get stuck. It has memories associated with it, but somehow as I went through with life I realized that while I can still listen to this song I don't exactly like it as much as I used to. If I don't like a song the first time I listen to it then I never listen to it again. But this song I did like, and then I stopped liking it.

Day 12: A Song From A Band That I Hate

Bring Me To Life by Evanescence from Fallen (2003) It's probably because they played the song too many times. All of it - from that album in particular, because I actually did like Lithium from their later album (don't remember its name). But in general, I suppose this would be a band I dislike, even though I do like Amy Lee's voice. I think I like other female rock/metal singers better than her. How can you see into my eyes like open doors? Leading you down into my core where I’ve become so numb Without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home (Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I can’t wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can’t wake up) Before I come undone (Save me) Save me from the nothing I’ve become Now that I know what I’m without, you can't just leave me Breathe into me and make me real, bring me to life (Wake me up) Wa...
