So, it's another letter song meme from veilingofthesun (see previous notes on how I keep forgetting how to code for usernames). Anyway, ask me for a letter and then post five songs that start with that letter. I got E from her, so, in alphabetical order, I give you...
1) EACH COMING NIGHT, by Iron and Wine

I don't know what it is about this song. It's so fuckin' pretty and makes me want to cry and there's something perfect about it. Definitely funeral material for me, grim as that is to say.
2) EDELWEISS, from the Sound of Music

I WISH CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER WERE THIRTY YEARS YOUNGER. ALSO GAY. AND IN MY PANTS. That is all.
3) ELM, by Pierre Bensusan

Another really pretty song. It has little variation, but what it has makes for pleasant listening.
4) EVERYONE KNOWS, by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

More fun than anything. It's just kind of a happy 'damn it all we'll wear leather and hold hands if we want to' song.
5) EVERYTHING WENT NUMB, by Streetlight Manifesto

For the record, I can't really understand what he's saying either. I pretty well picked this for the age-old standby of liking music: I love the way it sounds. Also, it's pretty upbeat for a song about a robbery.
