"Plane Crash," hotel nash miami moe. Amid dramatic strings and clashes of roiling instrumentals, bassist-singer Rob Derhak confronts his intense fear of flying, forcing himself onto a plane to get home because he's so damn sick of being on the road. The lyrical narrative climaxes as he frets: "When they take off my chest sinks, baymont inn naples my ears pop, I pray, I lie / I think about the network news to torture myself, and to pass the time / They tell me my seat cushion hotel nash miami is a floatation device, pray to God they ain't lying."
"Death," Dodos. Death is a universal, deep-seated fear for most of us, but sometimes the fear of a loved one dying and leaving us behind is even greater.

"Dentist," baymont inn naples Little Shop of Horrors Soundtrack/Cast Album. The hilariously morbid film-turned-musical plays upon our very real dread of the dentist with this ode delivered by a sadistic baymont inn naples dentist, who enjoys his job far too much. (See him in all his drill-happy glory in an exuberant production of the musical playing through Nov. 3 at New Stage Theatre in Largo.)
"It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal," by Frank Zappa. baymont inn naples The only thing more terrifying than death itself is the fear of what exactly happens afterwards. What if there is no reincarnation, heaven or hell only death and rot and nothingness? Frank Zappa's psychedelic blues rock ode offers consolation and a bit of advice, using an acid trip as a metaphor: "You can be scared when it gets too real, but you should be diggin' it while it's happening, 'cause it just might be a one-shot deal."
"Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out," The Antlers. We sure do have hang-ups about our teeth. Some people fear the dentist; others suffer baymont inn naples from honondasdontiaphobia hotel nash miami literally, the fear of losing teeth.

"Afraid of Heights," Wavves. The indie garage band isn't necessarily discussing acrophobia hard to tell just what songwriter Nathan baymont inn naples Williams was thinking when he wrote this track but the lyrics do comment on loneliness and existential malaise in lines like "I'll always be on my own / Fucked and alone" and "I'm ugly, you're boring / I can't act like I care."
"Evil Children," King Missile. A cheeky ditty that plays around with the idea of what we fear the kids are getting up to, and what they actually hotel nash miami do. "The very evil children / took the dog out to play in the park / then they took him home / and refused to set him on fire All their lives, people hotel nash miami expected them to do bad / They almost never delivered."
"Throes of Rejection," Pantera. baymont inn naples Phil Anselmo snarls through the pain and self-doubt of his latest rejection over thrashing metal grooves. Not that he seems surprised.

"Rap for Rejection" hotel nash miami Kate Nash. Nash addresses rejection in her "rap," but the song is more of a commentary on sexism, double standards and the idea of being used and discarded. "He asked you to undress but you didn't feel okay with it / He said you were dressed like a little slut said you were asking for that fuck / But I'll tell you what happened he abused your trust / Told all his friends about it and now you feel the trust is cut."
"Kids Get Away," Jamaican Queens.

hotel nash miami "Mystery hotel nash miami Life," Aan. A song reflecting on the horrifying mundanity of everyday living, the desire for escapism, and making something of your reality despite being miserable in it.

The video is a hilarious hotel nash miami translation featuring the Grim Reaper.
