My own mix
I really havent had anything of substance to say lately. Unless you are interested in hearing how I thought that the cold air was pumping out of the vent to the theme song of LOST, how I stayed up all night listening to an infomercial to make your penis bigger (they wouldn't say the word penis, they used phrases such as "that certain area"), or how I produced an excessive amount of snot today, I decided to spare you.sing_dream_love asked recently for some song recommendations, so I got the idea to make a CD of the 15 songs I am completely digging this moment. Its also free for you to download (oh how exciting) right behind the cut.
Tracklisting:
1. Tricky- Hell is Around the Corner
2. The Verve- The Drugs Don't Work
3. Dave Matthews Band- Rapunzel
4. Jack Johnson- Banana Pancakes

7. Yeah yeah yeah's- Maps
8. Jack Johnson- Sitting Waiting Wishing

10.Dido- Here With Me
11. Apollo 440- Can't Stop the Rock
12. Snow Patrol- You Could be Happy
13. Tricky- She Makes Me Want to Die
14. Radiohead- Talk Show Host
15. Oasis- Wonderwall
1. Tricky- Hell is Around the Corner
"We're hungry, beware of our appetite.
Distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight.
The kill which I share with my passengers.
We take our fill, take our fill, take a feel."
A trip-hop song with a great melody and sexy voice. The lyrics are full of internal rhymes and aliteration.
2. The Verve- The Drugs Don't Work
I like this song because it gives me a different perspective on death. I know thats a really dark and emo description, but I am just being honest!
3. Dave Matthews Band- Rapunzel
Blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
From you my strength is full
To carry your burdens too
I give my world to you
This song expresses lust perfectly to me, but without being vulgar. Thats what I love about DMB, they make sex poetic. Almost every song sounds magical to me.
4. Jack Johnson- Banana Pancakes
"When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm"
This song reminds me not to rush through things so much. It is innocent and fun coming from a super sexy guy.
5. Lily Allen- Smile
At first when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile.
Yeah, it makes me smile.
At worst I feel bad for awhile
But then I just smile.
I go ahead and smile.
We all know by now how much I love Lily Allen. This is my favorite song by her. It is upbeat and expresses how she moved on.
6. No Doubt-Sunday Morning
I want to stand on the front lawn of every person -cough- who hurt me and belt this one out as loud as I can right to them.
7. Yeah yeah yeah's- Maps
Made off
Don't stray
My kind's your kind
I'll stay the same
This is my most favorite song EVER. I love it so much I want to cry each time I hear it.
8. Jack Johnson- Sitting Waiting Wishing
I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you would see the signs
But lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain’t the lord no I’m just a fool
Learning loving somebody
Don’t make them love you
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you?
Must I always be playing, playing your fool
I could name a few people I want to sing this song to and mean every damn word of it.
9. Nelly Furtado- Say it Right
I picked a song from the Top 40, so sue me. At least I didn't pick an Akon song because then I should jump out the window. It is just so catchy. You probably dont even have to download it, just turn on the hit music radio station.
10.Dido- Here With Me
I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be, until you're resting here with me
I don't want to call my friends, they might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed, risk forgetting all that's been
The theme song from Roswell, must I say more? Okay, I will. The song is very romantic and it describes how badly one might need someone.
11.Apollo 440- Can't Stop the Rock
This is on my playlist each time when I work out. I like to save it for the point of my run when I get the urge to throw my sneaker at the mailbox. This song pumps me up, yo. Well so does Justin Timberlakes "Rock your body" but I really didn't want to put that on my CD.
12. Snow Patrol- You Could be Happy
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
Haunting melody, even more haunting lyrics. It is bittersweet and creepy, but I love it.
13. Tricky- She Makes Me Want to Die
Walking on the moon
How could you dare?
Who do you think you are?
You're insignificant
A small piece, an ism
No more no less
You try to learn the universe
Can't even converse in uni-verse
Creepy, and powerful. Tricky actually wrote this song. The chick in Tricky sings it while Tricky whispers in her ear. But I have felt this way about a girl before. Maybe we all have.
14. Radiohead- Talk Show Host
I want to
I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon this surface for the birds
The birds
The birds
You want me?
Fucking, well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
This song belongs on the top of the "songs to fuck to" playlist. I love Radiohead but this is my favorite song.
15. Oasis- Wonderwall
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
This is one of my favorite songs ever. Why? That calls for a friends only post. ;)
I hope you enjoy. If you like what I am doing let me know, I can make another one every few months or so. Copying this post is okay, and very much encouraged. I would love to have a mix that means something to a particular LJ friend.
Also feel free to let me know of a song that you love, and that means something to you.
