Music meme: Leave a comment, I'll give you a letter, and you list your top seven songs that start with that letter.
The lovely halfdutch gave me an H.
Also, these aren't actually my top seven but they're songs I enjoy for various reasons, just the same =)
1) Hash Pipe - Weezer. They totally OWN geek!rock, period. It's just a fun song to sing along to at the top of your lungs when you're sure no one can hear you, LOL
2) Hurt - Johnny Cash. The song that reintroduced me to the awesomeness that was and still is The Man In Black. Enough said.
3) Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright. I love Leonard Cohen's original version of this song, but Rufus just gives it something wistful and sad, so beautiful. Yep, love me some Rufus.
4) Hi-Lili Hi-Lo - Bobby Goldsboro. I remember first hearing this particular song in the movie Lili with Leslie Caron when I was a kid and I've always loved it. It's a very sweet little song, almost a lullaby. Here's a sample of the lyric: "A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know."
5) Humming - Portishead. I don't think these guys have ever made a song I haven't loved. Their music is equal parts dreamy, surreal, and downright sensual, and that's certainly true of this particular song.
6) Hechicera - Maná. A Mexican rock band that I adore, this is the song that turned me on to them. The title means, roughly, "Bewitching Woman." It's definitely a head-bobber, even if you don't understand the words.
7) Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me - U2. Not my favorite U2 song by far, but it's one that I always love listening to. I remember really liking the music video for it (the song was featured on the Batman Forever soundtrack, I think), plus hey ... it's freaking U2!
BTW, I just wann say I'm so glad I didn't have to include Lionel Richie's "Hello" in this list. Thiiiis close, man. Whew!
