ERE songs
Mad World by Gary Jules.
Before I came across ERE and YMOYL I was in a very dark place, highly successful in my career, lots of money in my accounts, and confused/unhappy with life. Listening to Mad World was a description of my sorrow and made me cry on multiple occasions. ERE and YMORL were the answers to my sorrows.

+1 for Mad World. Thanks for sharing that, tjt.
Also, I swear I don't listen to All American Rejects regularly, but I heard this on the radio it reminded me of ERE:

I guess he's talking about his rockstar lifestyle vs. his ex-girlfriend's "9-5 pace".

If you're going to do yacht racing, you have to get the music right:

Dog and His Master by Marcy Playground
Hey little boy see the Johnny and Janes
Hey little boy see them all go insane
Look and see Spot run
'Cause he pissed in their hallway
Run Spot run
Run away from it all
And I say you can be any way that you wanna be
How I'll be, that's up to me
Hey little girl see them all run around
Hey little girl see them all tumble down
Johnny will boss
Janey will buy
Spot will beg
But everyone dies
As I said you can be any way that you wanna be
How I'll be, that's up to me
One little, two little, three little idiots
Four little, five little, six little idiots
Seven little, eight little, nine little idiots
All in suit and tie
One little, two little, three little idiots
Four little, five little, six little idiots
All dressed up to die, and I say
You can be any way that you wanna be
But how I'll be, that's up to me

The Life by Kenney Chesney
It was early one mornin’
Playa del Carmen
That’s when I first met Jose
He had a 12 foot Schooner
A 3 foot cooler
Full of the catch of the day
And he was wrinkled from grinnin’
From all of the sun he had been in
He was barefoot, cerveza in hand
He said “Gracias senor”, when I paid him too much for
All of the Snapper he had
Now I told him my friend it ain’t nothin’
In the best broken Spanish I knew
I said I make a good livin’
Back home where I’m from
He smiled and said Amigo me too
(Chorus)
He said I fish and I play my guitar
I laugh at the bar with my friends
I go home to my wife
I pray every night
I can do it all over again
Verse 2
Somewhere over Texas
I thought of my Lexus
And all the stuff I work so hard for
And all the things that I’ve gathered
From climbing that ladder
Didn’t make much sense anymore
They say my nest egg ain’t ready to hatch yet
They keep holding my feet to the fire
They call it paying the price
So that one day in life
I’ll have what I need to retire
(Chorus)
And just fish
And play my guitar
And laugh at the bar with my friends
And go home to my wife
And pray every night
I can do it all over again
And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made
When the truth is I’m really just dying
To live like Jose
And just fish
Play my guitar
Laugh at the bar with my friends
Go home to my wife
Pray every night
I can do it all over again
Wouldn’t that be the life?
Wouldn’t that be the life?
Hey little boy see the Johnny and Janes

Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
`Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town
Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies
He calls his child Jesus
`Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town
Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies
Jackson Browne - The Pretender
I'm going to rent myself a house
In the shade of the freeway
Gonna pack my lunch in the morning
And go to work each day
And when the evening rolls around
I'll go on home and lay my body down
And when the morning light comes streaming in
I'll get up and do it again
Amen.
Say it again
Amen.
I want to know what became of the changes
We waited for love to bring
Were they only the fitful dreams
Of some greater awakening?
I've been aware of the time going by
They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
When the morning light comes streaming in
You'll get up and do it again
Amen.
Caught between the longing for love
And the struggle for the legal tender
Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
And the junk man pounds his fender.
Where the veterans dream of the fight
Fast asleep at the traffic light
And the children solemnly wait
For the ice cream vendor
Out into the cool of the evening
Strolls the Pretender
He knows that all his hopes and dreams
Begin and end there
Ah the laughter of the lovers
As they run through the night
Leaving nothing for the others
But to choose off and fight
And tear at the world with all their might
While the ships bearing their dreams
Sail out of sight
I'm gonna find myself a girl
Who can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams
And then we'll put our dark glasses on
And we'll make love until our strength is gone
And when the morning light comes streaming in
We'll get up and do it again
Get it up again
I'm gonna be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
where true love could have been a contender
Are you there?
Say a prayer for the Pretender.
Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender.
Say a prayer for the pretender
Are you there for the pretender?
Say a prayer for the pretender
Are you there for the pretender?
Are you prepared for the pretender?
Peter Gabriel -- Solsbury Hill:
"To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut"
and
"Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."
"To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut"
and
"Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."
Cage The Elephant - Tiny Little Robots
This fits ERE perfectly:
They’ve got you movin’ to the city
Oh my, you think you're lookin’ pretty
But they’ve got their pistols too
Tucked down beneath their shoe
It’s a new sensation
World annihilation
Moving to the music
Patiently it’s waitin’
The city’s screamin’
I can hear them breathin’
Cryin’ out for wisdom
Hungry minds are feedin’
I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot
They designed your life
But true souls said you know what’s right
And you can join us on the other side
Are you scared? Are you scared? Are you scared?
They’ve got you marching to a drum beat
Oh my you got another nose bleed
They’ll keep you so amused
You’ll never taste the truth
It’s a new creation
Total domination
Chains across your shoulders
Social captivation
Kill our leaders
Persecute our teachers
Criticize our culture
Crucify free thinkers
I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot
They designed your life
But true souls said you know what’s right
And you can join us on the other side
Are you scared? Are you scared? Are you scared?
Fill our eyes with money
Vanity that’s cunnin’
Only on the surface
Diamonds look so stunnin’
Mass deception
Altered our perception
Sold it to the children
Made a new connection
I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot
They designed your life
But true souls said you know what’s right
And you can join us on the other side

From my commute playlist- Boston Peace of Mind
Peace Of Mind lyrics
Now if your feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues
you've been payin'
Future's comin' much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you keep on stayin'
Can't decide on which way to go
CHORUS
I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Now you're climbing to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone
CHORUS
Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead
Yea,yea,yea, yea
Well everybody's got advice they just
keep on givin'
Dosen't mean to much to me
Lots of people have to make believe
they're livin'
Can't decide who they should be
CHORUS
Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead
Yea,yea,yea, yea
Look ahead!
Tom Scholz was an engineer before he started Boston. This song was supposed to be about his life before rock stardom.

You'll Never Walk Alone -
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden day
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on... walk on...with hope in your heart
And you'll nev-er walk alone
You'll nev-er walk alone
and
another vote for ....Mad World
- play these both on my piano - so guess am kinda biased - but they are super songs - uplifting songs - pragmatic and reality songs - to me, anyway
