I Bet You Think This Song Is About You

Actually, I WISH these songs were about me.


Jon McLaughlin - "Perfect"
Something about this song turns me uncharacteristically ooey gooey lovey dovey. Perhaps it's the line "And in this life if I could have one thing I don't deserve, then I have never wanted anybody else but her." Maybe it's just that I want someone to think I'm perfect. More than likely the latter.

Mika - "Blue Eyes"
How many times can a blue eyed blonde be subjected to "Brown Eyed Girl" before she throws a stabby jealous tantrum? Thanks to this song, the world may never know.

New Kids On The Block - "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)"
I have wanted this song to be about me since I was 13 years old. The desire is hardwired into my psyche as evidenced by the fact that after all these years I still remember "Forever" is parenthesized. To be quite honest, if I had any proof this song WAS about me, I'd put it on my resume.

P.S. Donnie I love you!

Parachute - "She (For Liz)"
People. My name is already in the song. The fact that I've never met anyone in the band Parachute means NOTHING. It could happen.

Eric Clapton - "Wonderful Tonight"
Lots of people have had songs of everlasting love written about them but how many people looked so SMOKING HOT one night that they had an iconic song written about it? This girl wants it. She wants it bad.

Jeff Buckley - "Everybody Here Wants You"
One of the sexiest songs ever written. Someone wrapping around you, whispering in your ear that everyone in the room wants you. Incredibly hot. At least until you stop and think how many people have done it to your song and then it starts to get a little creepy but STILL.

Van Morrison - "Into The Mystic"
I have NO IDEA what this song is actually about, I just think it would be really cool to be the inspiration behind it. Well...me and marijuana. Clearly.

Ray LaMontagne - any song he's ever done
I'm serious. Love song, break up song, songs about cigarettes...I don't care! I'm totally open, because Ray, even though your beard scares me more than a little bit, one song and I'm yours.


There you go kids...get to writing...you know where to find me.

10/26/09 Earworms

Yikes, I just realized I've been remiss in posting my earworms, which are usually what I've thrown into my on the go playlist that week, and my current list is threatening to swallow me whole!

"Bad Guy" - Mindy Smith

"Am I just someone you call when you need someone to keep" & "You tell me that I'm crazy, you tell me that I've lost my mind but you're the one behind the wheel, driving me across that line" seal the deal with me on this song

"Wiggley Fingers" - Patty Griffin

I just rediscovered Griffin's "Flaming Red" cd. I firmly believe it's a must have

"You're Gonna Want Me" - Shane Dwight

Momma loves a little dirty blues

"The Royal We" - Silversun Pickups

This might be the earwormiest of them all, I've developing a serious music crush on Silversun Pickups, they sound different enough to stand out but familiar enough to be completely addictive

"Drive" - Gary Go

One of the best covers I've heard in a long time, Gary Go elevates The Cars tune to a beautiful new level

"Fearless" - Taylor Swift

You may have noticed I love Taylor. This is my current favorite off her disc of the same name. Just makes me smile

"Clockwork" - Mutemath

Mutemath (Mute Math? I still don't know) was introduced to me through the Twilight soundtrack, but their latest cd "Armistice" is fantasti. I air drum with this song, sad but true

"I Shall Believe" - Sheryl Crow

Another oldie buy goodie, still a little haunting, still extremely sexy

"Boom" - Anjulie

Great combo of slinky and danceable that makes it perfect music to get ready to

"Friends" - Band of Skulls

Exactly why I was so excited when I first learned BOS was going to be included on the New Moon soundtrack, I love them and can't wait for everyone else to love them. My fave song on the soundtrack (at least today)

"Junebug" - Robert Francis

Perfect driving with the windows down song, even if it's too cold to do that anymore

"Beautiful Is Gone" - The Ruse

The only band to ever randomly start following me on twitter that I found I really really love. I don't understand how this isn't a #1 song.

"Through & Through & Through" - Joel Plaskett

Kind of retro, late 70's feel makes it a lazy Sunday song

"Happy Ending" - Mika

I admit, I make up elaborate movie scenes in my head to this song on the el in the morning

"Feeling Good" - Muse

What Adam Lambert was aiming for when he did this song on American Idol
