Monday Morning Music - No Change I Can't Change

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

"Bitter Sweet Symphony" is a song by English alternative rock band The Verve, and is the lead track on their third studio album, Urban Hymns.  It is based on an Andrew Loog Oldham orchestral version of The Rolling Stones' song, "The Last Time" in which it samples a main theme, and involved some legal controversy surrounding plagiarism charge as a result.  The song's music video, which received heavy rotation on MTV, focuses on Richard Ashcroft lip-synching the song while walking down a busy London pavement, oblivious to what is going on around and refusing to change his stride or direction throughout.  In 1999, the song was used as the final song in the popular teen film Cruel Intentions and is included on the film's soundtrack.

Bjork - Army of Me

 "Army of Me" is a song by Icelandic singer-songwriter Björk. It was released on April 21, 1995 by One Little Indian as the lead single from her second solo album Post (1995).  Lyrically, the song was inspired by the damaging behavior of Björk's brother, and in the lyrics she tells him to stand up and to regain control of his life. "Imagine you’re in a club full of heavy metal types and grunge people; "Army Of Me" is like someone’s granny blasting out over the PA and saying, ‘Snap out of it! Stop whining! Wash your hair! Smarten yourself up!’".
