I've got to cheat and name a whole album, Green by R.E.M. I've felt so utterly attached since I first heard it, and only somewhat recently I realized the whole thing screams ND. I relate to each and every song in a specific, intense way.

Tbh I identify with most of R.E.M.'s catalog, especially their early- and mid-period work. Their debut album alone (Murmur) is flush with themes of troubled communication, just like my life. ^_^

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

I have two and they may appear very different from each other in genre but I feel like they have some overlapping themes of being an outsider and knowing that you are on your own.

My theme song, er, isn't a song. This piano piece and I go way back- the only recordings I have on it are both on cassette, and I must have played it (badly) hundreds of times as a teenager. Even though I write songs myself, I can't think of any song that means as much to me.

Tragedy's child, born into cruelty and crooked form. The hateful twist of rejection bends my heart. Powers volatile, lightening awakes in a rising storm. The doors to hope and ascension creak apart. In the shards of the broken mirror many faces are shorn. In the agony I have been reborn! Torn apart to become a living work of art. Chaos kindled in my burning heart. Tear the creaking doors apart!

Consequence Free by Great Big Sea




Wouldn't it be great
If no one ever got offended
Wouldn't it be great
To say what's really on your mind
I've always said
That all the rules are made for bending
And if I let my hair down
Would that be such a crime

[Chorus]
I want to be
Consequence free
I want to be
Where nothing needs to matter
I want to be
Consequence free
Just sing
Nananananananana
Oh, nananananananana

I could really use
To lose my Catholic conscience
Cause I'm getting sick
Of feeling guilty all the time
I won't abuse it
Yeah, I've got the best intentions
For a little bit of anarchy
But not the hurting kind

[Chorus]

I couldn't sleep at all last night
Cause I had so much on my mind
I'd like to leave it all behind
But you know it's not that easy
Oh, for just one night

Wouldn't it be great
If the band just never ended
We could stay out late
And we would never hear last call
We wouldn't need to worry
About approval or permission
We could slip off the edge
And never worry about the fall

[Chorus]

Probably “Flood” by Tool.



Lyrics don’t start until about four minutes in.

“Here comes the water...

All I knew, all I believed
Are crumbling images that no longer comfort me
Scramble to reach higher ground
Order and sanity, something to comfort me

I take what is mine, hold what is mine,
Suffocate what is mine, bury what’s mine
Soon the water will come and claim what is mine
I must leave it behind and climb to a new place now


This ground is not the rock I’d thought it to be

Thought I was high, thought I was free
Thought I was there, divine destiny
I was wrong
This changes everything

Running away, running away...

I take what is mine, hold what is mine
Suffocate what is mine, bury what’s mine
Soon the water will come and claim what is mine
I must leave it behind and climb to a new place

Water rising up on me, said water rising up on me
Thought the sun would come deliver me
But the truth has come to punish me instead

Ground breaks downright under me
Cleanse and purge me in the water”

Not literal water, though, the only three literal floods I’ve had to deal with are toilet overflows (one at home when I was a kid and one when I was a janitor at a department store) and the one time my dad forgot he was filling an empty fish tank in the basement and left the water running overnight.
