How many songs do you really need on your ipod

most of us are guilty we have way to many songs on our ipod. Right now i have 1681 songs on mine.. and in all honesty i listen to most of them regularly and dont care how many times they come up on the shuffle.. We have our break-up songs (most songs by linkin park).. songs for homework (some art farmer, miles davis)..the ones where you just wanna be alone (thrice - artist in the ambulance)... then there are the plethra of rediculous songs that you put on your ipod that you will listen to once maybe twice that were put on your ipod in joke.. can you handle barbie girl by aqua.. the little mermaid song or anything by kate nash on more than a few occasions.. i know that i cant.. but i just cant seem to delete them they are a staple song and good for a laugh when i need it most... soo i think this is an occasion when you need to look deep down and hit that shuffle button on your ipod and decide do i really need these songs???

Madi Diaz

Music opens your mind to new ideas. You get the chance to experience something soo routine in a different light. There is this song by Madi Diaz that really caught my attention. It is called canvas and it is using personification at the highest level. originally she had no idea what she would write about for her song writing class.. and she came into the class said canvas and her teacher told her that she should go with it....... my faviorite line out of the whole song.. is
This alarm clock chains me to the sunrise...
