Weekly Music Review
Since I have been so interested in music lately, I'm going to try and post something about music once a week.
This week is a belated Valentine's Day post. For Valentine's Day, All Songs Considered did a "lesser-known" love songs show. It got me thinking... what would be on my ideal love songs album. Well, here it is, I call it:
Songs that will make me love you
Life Less Ordinary - Carbon Leaf
Well, I hate to be a bother, but it's you and there's no other
A Case of You - Joni Mitchell
You're in my blood like holy wine,
You taste so bitter and so sweet,
Oh, I could drink a case of you darling
And still I'd be on my feet
Josephine - The Wallflowers
Josephine, you're so sweet you must taste just like sugar
And tangerines.
Love You Madly - Cake
I don't want to wonder if this is a blunder
I don't want to worry if we're going to stay together 'til we die
Dear Prudence - The Beatles
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and you are, too
Head Over Feet - Alanis Morrisette
You held your breath and the door for me
3 Rounds and a Sound - Blind Pilot
My eyes were dark 'til you woke me
You told me that opening was just the start
It was
Such Great Heights - Iron and Wine
They will see us waving from such great heights,
Come down now, they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now, but we'll stay
Piazza. New York Catcher - Belle and Sebastian
I love you, I've a drowning grip on your adoring face
I love you, my responsibility has found a place
Of Angels and Angles - The Decemberists
There are angels in your angles
There's a low moon caught in your tangles
I Will Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
Anyone Else But You - The Moldy Peaches
You're a part-time lover and a full-time friend
If I Ever Leave This World Alive - Flogging Molly
So in a word don't shed a tear
I'll be here when it all gets weird
Some of these may not exactly be love songs - and some are more breakup songs, but they still make me have warm fuzzy feelings, which was the point of this list. Now, I'll have to make another one called Songs that I listen to after I realized you just used a sentimental mix tape to get me into bed...
The podcast that inspired this can be found at All Songs Considered: Lesser-Known Love Songs.
ETA: Here's a playlist of the songs using seeqpod. Since Josephine wasn't on there, I added a bonus track, Samson by Regina Spektor.
