I post this at my personal journal but decided to bring it over here as well.
10 song that I've been listening alot lately. Forgive me for some of the melancholy choices but that's what I listen to when I write.
The Scientist ~ Aimee Mann (live Coldplay cover)
I love this version so much!! Aimee gives it a different pleading type sound to the song.
Champagne High ~ Sister Hazel My all time favorite Sister Hazel song. It's bittersweet in it's meaning.
Songbird ~ Eva Cassidy (Christine McVie cover)
If at all possible find whatever Eva Cassidy song you can find and it will be so worth it. She could take a song that was sung by someone else and make it sound so much better and she owned it. I have alot of her songs. Just let me know if you want me to up load some for you. ***Highly recommend this
First Day of my Life ~ Bright Eyes Loved this song so much when I first heard it and then found out it was used in Jason's movie Frost and that made me love it even more.
Distant Dreamer ~ Duffy She one of my newest obsessions. I've had her full album for a while thanks to the awesome people at
indie_exchange . Major pimpage to them. She kind of reminds me of Dusty Springfield alittle. Her whole album is amazing. If you want me to upload that one I will.
No Ones Gonna Love You ~ Band of Horses What can I say about Band of Horses? Totally in love with everything they do. They run a close second to Muse for me and that's saying alot. I have one of their albums if you'd like it as well. ***Highly recommend this.
Everything Changes ~ Staind This song remind me of the only Ros Fanfic that ever made me cry like a friggin 2 year old. It was used so perfectly in Burning to Feel by Sylvia37 a fic that ripped my heart out and fed it to me. So I like listening to it so I can relive the moment. LOL
Mean to Me ~ Tonic Crazy good song. Tonic is the shit of 90's alternative rock in the best way.
These are the Days ~ Van Morrison I used this song for my wedding and still listen to it even though I'm no longer married. It's just so beautiful.
Please Stay ~ Mindy Smith Sweet angel voice of Mindy puts me in a writing mood. She inspired One Moment More from her song of the same title. Please Stay is so sweet.
