I've always wanted to do one, I've been meaning to forever. Ummm >: I can't really say that my taste is terribly good, but maybe you'll find something. Even if no one cares I'll just send it to Colleen anyway or something.
They're all in sendspace, hopefully that works.
Panic at the Disco - New Perspective //
I feel the salty waves come in
I feel them crash against my skin
And I smile as I respire because I know they'll never win
This is my feel-good-song-of-the-moment.

ALI PROJECT - King Knight //
Charge ahead as the black stallions neigh bravely
You, descendants of that heroic nation
Jump over the high fence that surrounds us
The world we've yet to see is boundless (translated from Japanese)
It's my War of Austrian Succession!Prussia song. Someone did an original AMV to it on youtube based on the strips. I wish I could find it. The
lyrics are what does it for me, as well as the fact that it's just so goddamn haunting.

Fall Out Boy - 27Are the good times getting gone?
They come and go and go and come and go
I've got a lot of friends who are stars
But some are just black holes
This is my favorite song off of Folie à Deux. I write to it a lot. I am obsessed with the lyrics.
**
Fall Out Boy - Fame < InfamyI am God's gift, why would he bless me with
Such wit without a conscience equipped?
I'm addicted to the way I feel when I think of you
There's too much green, to feel blue
One of my favorite songs of all time. I dunno. It's pretty intense. I love Patrick's voice.
**
Placebo - English Summer RainAlways stays the same, nothing ever changes
English summer rain seems to last for ages
I'm in the basement, you're in the sky
I'm in the basement, drop on by
There are two versions of this song, one with the extra verse at the end and one without. I uploaded the one with the extra verse because it's kind of just gorgeous and makes me cry on the wrong day ;_; (then again, everything makes me cry).

Louis XIV - Illegal TenderYou’re taking off your stripes, even your knees are nice
I’ll tease you with a knife until you’re screaming for your life
I think so too, and you surrender
Can I spend you up? you’re my illegally illegal tender
This is one of their lesser blatantly sexual songs, haha. It's got a good beat though.

The Decemberists - Won't Want For Love (Margaret In The Taiga)Mistle thrush, mistle thrush, lay me down in the underbrush
My naked feat grow weary with the dusk
Willow boughs, willow boughs make a bed to lay me down
Let your branches bow to cradle us
Glass actually sent me this album a long time ago. It's a good album, before her I had never really listened to The Decemberists closely. This is another song I listen to a lot when I write.
**
Empires - Keep The MoodIt's gonna happen, we'll make it.
We've got to feel it through the night.
Hold your breath now, we'll get down.
Keep the mood right through the night.
I have this on several playlists for several characters. It's one of my favorite 'love' songs, if you could call it one.
**
Our Lady Peace - Big Dumb RocketI've never been this sad before
But I'm offended by my fingertips, and what they've done
If I look up in your eyes, if it must be true you must believe
I've never held such violent things
Favorite song off of Clumsy, tied with Superman's Dead. I think. I loved Clumsy in general, so.
**
Bright Eyes - Gold Mine GuttedLiving the good life, I left for dead
In the sorrowful Midwest
Well I did my best
To keep my head
I love the melancholic beat of this song, his voice matches so perfectly.
**
Thousand Foot Krutch - PhenomenonIf you're like us, calling all riders, roll up beside us, no place to hide us,
All freedom fighters, let's unite us, switch on your nitrous and...let's.. go...
Destination, for navigation, man up ya stations, feel the sensation surround invasion,
With communication, move quick, we might avoid contamination
This was actually on a Bad Friends Trio (Prussia/Spain/France) fanmix I download, and regardless of whether it's fitting or not, it makes me feel energized.
**
The Wombats - Let's Dance to Joy DivisionLet's dance to Joy Division
And celebrate the irony
Everything is going wrong
But we're so happy
Another feel-good song.
**
N*E*R*D - You Know WhatAnd so the tension slowly build, you got them slanted eye, ya kills,
All systems go
Then you kiss my cheek, my knees get weak
My heart just skipped a beat, so I just froze
Another sort-of love song, it is, except half of it is Pharell singing about missing how good the sex was. You can't really tell because the actual melody and vocals are really nice.

Okay done. I need to try and accomplish things now. I'm so behind in RP but I've just been feeling so off I don't even know where to begin to catch up. It's kind of overwhelming.
I'll figure something out I suppose.
