Sick at Home


Six Pack of the Week - The "Sick at Home" Blues

I was sick at home with the flu yesterday, and between sleeping and generally feeling sick I came up with some illness-related tracks for your entertainment.  I hope these can help you through the inevitable day when you too find yourself with the sick-at-home blues.

Fever (Starsailor)

It all starts out with a fever.  Not necessarily on the freeway (or in the morning, in the morning).  And I guess, to be perfectly honest, it doesn't always start out with a fever either.  Sometimes it starts out with a head cold, or a mass of congestion.  But yeah, it begins...

After you realize that you are, in fact, sick, there comes a point where you have to make a very crucial decision.  That decision:

Medicine (Guster)
OR
No Medicine (Sense Field)

It's tough, no buts about it.  I opted no medicine, and it worked out alright for me.  Buy hey, not necessarily something I would recommend to everyone; you've got to know your own body and what it needs.  Pick your dosage below:

[mp3] Sense Field - No Medicine

The next stage in the sick-at-home blues usually occurs right before or shortly after the medicine decision.  It's the part where:

I Wish I Would Die (Fiction Plane)

No one's calling you weak for having this feeling either; you generally feel like crap and you absolutely hate it (plus it seems like a sensible enough thought at the time).  Hopefully either the medicine kicks in quickly, or you just start feeling better in the thereafter.  Something eventually gives you the hope you need to start thinking again:

I Want To Live (Rhett Miller)

which is probably a smarter thought in general anyway.

And, once you get better, you won't want to be:

Down With The Sickness (Richard Cheese cover of Disturbed)

anytime again soon.  Because who likes being sick anyway?  It's no fun, people don't like to hang around you, and you tend not to accomplish a whole lot.
