Happy birthday!

So, I guess it's officially my birthday now. Here are a few (appropriately depressing) songs that mention this joyous occasion.

• Carissa's Wierd - Heather Rhodes

There will be no tragedies; your lullabies, they are sounding like sirens now. Just like Heather Rhodes when she was seventeen years old, put another cigarette out in the square of my back. Memories might last for years and birthday cakes, they always taste like crap.

• Fiona Apple - Love Ridden

Love ridden, I've looked at you with the focus I gave to my birthday candles. I've wished on the lidded blue flames under your brow and baby, I wished for you.

• The Good Life - Your Birthday Present

Do you wonder how I am or whatever became of me? Do you envision my thin face where the beaten go to drink? I didn't want to cut that cord; you sucked the life right out of me. Do you regret choices you've made? I guess I was a mistake. I guess I'm your big mistake. Well, happy birthday anyway.

• Sondre Lerche - Happy Birthday Girl

I know it may take some time to get this day off your mind.

• Tori Amos - Pretty Good Year

Greg, he writes letters with his birthday pen. Sometimes he's aware that they're drawing him in.

Haha, thank you. I know it's a happy thing but I could only find depressing songs which seems to be a normal thing with me. :P

Happy Birthday. :) How old are you? I downloaded your Would you please clap your hands? mix. And I noticed the Bishop Allen song has a birthday theme to it, but I don't think it's a happy one!

I'm 18. And you're right about that song. I probably have a lot of songs with a birthday theme or that at least mention the word but unless it's right in the title, I'm terrible at remembering those things, haha.

Happy birthday!

Unfortunately I can't dl anything until next month because I've just about blown my high speed quota - no self discipline.

You really shouldn't listen to Pretty Good Year on a less than cheerful birthday. It makes me want to claw my heart out at the best of times.

Ah, really? It is a sad song but I guess it doesn't get to me as much as some other Tori ones. But if it makes it any better, I didn't actually listen to it on my birthday, I listened to it the night before. ;) Haha.

Yes, I'm not alone in my odd attraction towards depressing things! Ha. Thank you for the comment!
