A Sense of Doubt blog post #3345 - "Play God" - a new mix  for Music Monday 2404.15

This mix has been in the works for some time.

That's what happens.

I conceive an idea: "hey, I like this song. I should build a mix around it."

I put it on the schedule.

And then, because I have not worked on it at all, I keep pushing back the publication date.

In the end, I just went with a random mix not so much one that has a theme that unites most or all of the songs.

The selections here are mainly songs that came to my attention recently or for one reason or another went into my "favorites" list, which is more a dumping ground for songs to listen to than an actual list of favorites.

Though, because You Tube keeps hiding these lists from me for no reason I can discern, I made a blog post to be able to get to them if I cannot find them in my playlists queue. You Tube really needs a search function in all the ways I can scroll through my playlists.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2413 - FAVORITES and NON-MUSIC FAVES PLAYLISTS YOU TUBE

This is an interesting collection. After the song for which the mix is named and my starting point -- "Play God" by Ani DiFranco -- I went with contrast and yet thematic unity (I think) with what was chosen as the theme song for the show Constellation on AppleTV+ that I featured on the blog last week.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #3338 - Surrogate Sibling - "Tellur" - Musical Monday for 2404.08

Hans Zimmer's brilliant theme for the TV show The Crown seemed to follow "Tellur" well, and then there's songs recently recommended by my friend Helene interspersed with other gems, such as PJ Harvey and Jane Siberry.

I haven't even listened to the mix all the way through, honestly. But that's okay. I like randomness and surprises.

I am happy to get Kit Sebastian into a mix as I have proclaimed on social media they are one of my newest most favorite bands, though I have yet to feature them in a blog post... that needs to go on the schedule.

I feel the frame from "Play God" to "Thank You for Hearing Me" works really well, too.

From Track 18 to 26, I am not sure that all works. That's where the mix gets VERY random. 

But I am sticking with this for now.

I hope you like it.

Thanks for tuning in.

LYRICS

I was done at 16

Showing up for class

I was out there in the ring

Learning how to kick some ass

I was done at 16

Using my momma's key

It was all on me

It was all on me

Weren't no free rides

Weren't no IOU's

I pulled my weight, yeah

I paid my dues

And I showed up to enlist

On the first day of recruits

How 'bout you?

How 'bout you

I'm my brother's keeper

Every chance I can

I pay my taxes

Like any working man

And I feel I've earned

My right to choose

You don't get to play God, man, I do

You don't get to play God, man, I do

You get to run the world

In your special way

You get much more

Much more than your say

Government, religion

It's all just patriarchy

I must insist you leave this one thing to me

Just leave this one thing to me

Just leave this one thing to me

Just leave this one thing

'Cause there's one thing that a man needs

To be truly free

This is the modern world

And that one thing is money

But there are two things

That a woman needs

Control over her own body

Yeah I pay the price

On top of everything

Each month a bill

Each month a reckoning

And each seed that dies

I cry and I bleed

So you can't tell me

You can't tell me

I am a soldier

It's my blood that flows

I'd give my life

So that this tree can grow

You don't know creation

Like I know

So you can't tell me

No you can't tell me

You can't tell me

You can't tell me

You get to run the world

In your special way

You get much more

Much more than your say

Government, religion

It's all just patriarchy

I must insist you leave this one thing to me

Just leave this one thing

Just leave this one thing to me

Just leave this one thing

'Cause I'm my brother's keeper

Every chance I can

I pay my taxes

Like any working man

And I feel I've earned

My right to choose

You don't get to play God, man, I do

You don't get to play God, man, I do

You don't get to play God, man, I do

- Days ago = 3209 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
