MONDAY
Artist = Sneaker Pimps
Song = Spin Spin Sugar
Emotion = Kairosclerosis (Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows) - “The moment you realise that you’re currently happy - consciously trying to savor the feeling - which prompts your intellect to identify it, pick it apart and put it in context, where it will slowly dissolve until it’s little more than an aftertaste.”

TUESDAY
Artist = Madrugada
Song = Step Into This Room & Dance For Me
Emotion = Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan) - “The wordless, meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to do so.”

WEDNESDAY
Artist = Leonard Cohen
Song = Who By Fire
Emotion = Setsunai (Japanese) - “A feeling between bittersweet, painful and wistful. A heart-rending emotion.”

THURSDAY
Artist = Ultimate Spinach
Song = Mind Flowers
Emotion = Lying on the floor. Spread-eagled. Staring at the ceiling. One or two tears trickling from your eyes. Living in the razor-sharp, bleeding-edge moment of reality you are in right now. Let go. Sacrifice! Of! Your! Whole! Ego! 

FRIDAY
Artist = Bush
Song = Glycerine
Emotion = Anchorage (Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows) - “The desire to hold on to time as it passes, like trying to keep your grip on a rock in the middle of a river, feeling the weight of the current against your chest while your elders float on downstream, calling over the roar of the rapids, ‘Just let go… it’s okay… let go.’”

SATURDAY
Artist = King Dude & Chelsea Wolfe
Song = Be Free
Emotion = Mizpah (Hebrew) - “The deep emotional bond shared by people, especially those separated by distance or death.”

SUNDAY
Artist = Ramona Falls
Song = I Say Fever
Emotion = After wallowing in the dark emotional ditches for a while, the elation that rises within and makes the toes tap and the lips curl up. A rising of the spirit, an aspiration to ascend.
