I am a huge Meat Loaf fan and alot of his song's give me strong emotional feeling's so I guess they describe life with AS. Or maybe I just like them, who knows!
"Life is a Lemon and I Want my Money Back" - Meatloaf.
Don't laugh at me for liking Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, but I like "Nobody's Perfect" from the Hannah Montana soundtrack. It makes me feel so much better on those days when I can't seem to get anything done because my focus and concentration are all over the place.
"Burned" by Hilary Duff reminds me of my experience as an Aspie too, but it kind of depresses me too. :-\
"Hey You" by Madonna.
"Love Makes the World Go Round" and "Better Off," both by Ashlee Simpson.
WOW I am a major pop freak, huh?
LOL... Well that's me. What can I say? I don't know if those songs speak to anybody else about life with AS, but for me it really hits all those emotions that I feel but can't get out, other than through my poetry and lyrics.
why would we laugh at you?
Well, my close friends/family tend to be mostly into rock, so I get a lot of flack for my love of pop music!
Not in a mean way, they're just joking around with me because it's the easy thing to do. You know NT's, lol. They think their music is "serious" and mine is "fluff." Guess I'm used to that!
How about this song?
I Stand Alone: Godsmack
(for the hardcore aspies like me!
)
I may not know other songs.
I will be heard: Hatebreed
Stonesour: Get Inside, the lyrics to this one, well says it all on my pissed off, misanthropic days, which includes just about any day in college.
Nevermore: Heart Collector
System from Queen of the Damned :p
"why won't you die...." etc
Scar Tissue, by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Sell Your Soul - Hollywood Undead
If you think of blood as a metaphor of your aspie personality, Its pretty much like my life, everyone wants to Bleed me so I am "normal."
"why can't they let me be, why don't i know what i am"
"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" - Smashing Pumpkins
"Bother" - Stonesour
