It’s comfort music. These songs were on loop when i worked at TGIFridays when I lived in Annapolis.
Not feeling down, but thinking about losing both my mom and dad this year and need to be comforted.
Normally, I listen to Black Sabbath and ACDC. So, my mancard is still in tact...intact?
Annapolis was some fun times. Got my first dog, Porkchop. Had a job where they not only paid me, they looked forward to seeing me, TGIFridays. My wife was on meds that kept her from going psycho, so I felt like everything was on the right track.
Then, I started trying to better myself. Seems like the harder I tried, the more success I achieved, but things got harder, and we spent ourselves into deeper debt, until the whole thing fell apart in 2001, and the final disaster was in 2007. It has been 7 years since then, and I still remember that Christmas was the one where I stopped trying, deciding to simplify my life instead.
Now that I have simplified my life, and I am getting out of the debt hole, there isn’t much left of what made me happy at one time.
So, the Cranberries just make me feel better in times like this.

You know music is strange thing...
you can hear a song and your mind takes you back
to a point in space and time...
I worked part time at a sporting goods store 35 years ago
and they played a certain song over the muzak often.
So, today, whenever I hear “Baker Street” (Gerry Rafferty)
I am instantly transported back to that point in space and time.
