Awesome songs
In no particular order. Just stuff I've been listening to lately. If you've got Napster (or illegal sources), load it up!
Shelter, by Ray LaMontagne
This song is just damn sexy.
FAVORITE LINE: "I left you heartbroken, but not until those very words were spoken/
Has anybody ever made such a fool out of you"
Change, by Tracy Chapman
I kind of just want to cry when I hear it, which is weird--I doubt that's what she intended. Seriously, what the hell WILL it take for me to start picking my socks up off the floor?
Mushaboom, by Feist
I am really liking Secret Heart and Let It Die as well.
Just a Ride, by Jem
Great song when you're getting way too serious about life. It's just a ride, baby.
Do You Remember, by Jack Johnson
Actually, I like EVERYTHING Jack Johnson does. Sitting, Waiting, Wishing is another favorite, and I love No Other Way.
Grace Under Pressure, by Elbow
Graaaaaaaaace under preeeeeeesssuuuuure. This song gets pretty weird at the end. Love it all the same.
Resistance Song, by Jill Sobule
This is just fun. And wacked.
FAVORITE LINE: "You were my mistress--yes you were a woman/but I knew it was you by the shape of your mouth."
Lift Me Up, by Moby
Marry me, Moby. Eminem is just jealous.
Kill, by Jimmy Eat World
My God. I CANNOT stop listening to this. It's sick. I don't even know why I like it so much. It's about love that he wishes he didn't feel. I can't even IDENTIFY with that, yet I can't stop listening! And he's all "I need answers for what all the waiting after means," and I'm like yes! We need answers! We totally do! And then he's all "I can't help it baby, this is who I am, I'm sorry but I can't just go turn off how I feel," and I'm all, yeah, baby, he can't help it! So find the answers! What the hell is wrong with me.
FAVORITE LINE: ALL OF THEM. THIS SONG IS HEROIN.
Pink and Black, by Tyler Hilton
This one always makes me feel good. I love you lightheartedness. I also like When the Stars Go Blue, which is more serious, but beautiful.
FAVORITE LINE: Every time his voice sings along with the little da-da-da-da-da. That sounds stupid, but you'll know what I mean--he actually just sings "da-da-da-da-da" one time to highlight what I'm talking about.
Are You Happy Now, by Richard Shindell
Great song that gets points for being the only Hallowen breakup song I know of.
FAVORITE LINE: "I was amazed to think that you/would take the candy with you too." But came out gray is really red? What was gray? WHAT, Richard?
White Houses, by Vanessa Carlton
A Thousand Miles be damned. This is a great song. Where's the airplay, Vanessa? Where is it? Why doesn't the radio like you anymore? I also like The Wreckage. That Vanessa. One talented em-effer.
FAVORITE LINES: The dirty ones.
It's You, by Michelle Branch
I typically hate Michelle Branch. I hate her. I hate everything she does. Except this song.
Blackbird, by Sarah McLachlan
I like a lot of her stuff, but I find this one particularly nice.
The Headphonist, by Kinky (the version with the Cake lead singer)
This has the best intro beat of any song I've ever heard. I used to walk down the halls of my giant corporation to this song. With my headphones on. Just like in the song. Whoa!
Jingle Jangle, by Hot Hot Heat
Hot Hot Heat takes some getting used to. Now that I adore them, I also love Elevator and Goodnight.
I Can't Make Me, by Butterfly Boucher
I listen to this song all the time just so I can hear her say whoooooooOOOOOOOHHHHohhhoooah and then get that little rock beat afterward.
Plane, by Jason Mraz
He's all "baby hell yeah" and I'm all, "Jason, baby hell yeah, you're not really that hot but I would still have sex with you because you sing this song." I also like Wordplay and Life Is Wonderful.
Desire, by Ryan Adams
Sexy, sexy song.
More generically, I will also listen to anything on the Garden State soundtrack and anything by David Gray.
Did I mention Kill by Jimmy Eat World? Will someone take that song away from me already?
