so good inside your shadow

1. A song about the definition of love

Somebody - Depeche Mode
I want somebody to share, share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side, and give me support
And in return, she'll get my support

Or

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

2. A song about the persuasion of love

Let's Do It - Alanis Morissette
And that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

3. A song about the pleasure of love

Your Love Is King - Sade
Your kisses ring
Round and round and round my head
Touching the very part of me
It's making my soul sing

4. A song about the pain of love

You Make Me Feel Like a Whore - Everclear
You treat me like I am on fire
Like I'm something to eat
You make me hate what I see
When I see me

5. A song about the fidelity of love

I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

6. A song about the inconstancy of love

Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin
Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you.
I said, baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.
I'll leave you when the summertime,
Leave you when the summertime comes a'rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along.

7. A song about the estrangement of love

Crazy - Patsy Cline
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

8. A song about the loss of love

And I Fell Back Alone - World Party
How can we live together
In bed and face to face
And not see anyone at all.
It's time to make a wish
And let it float on down the stream
And we can cry a little
For a time that could have been

9. A song about the illusion of love

Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Or

Anna Begins - Counting Crows
It does not bother me to say this isn't love
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
And I guess I'm going to have to live that
But, I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray
Or something in between
And I can always change my name, if that's what you mean

10. A song about the waning of love

One Step Up - Eddie Vedder (covering Springsteen)
It's the same thing night on night
Who's wrong, baby, who's right
Another fight, and I slam the door on
Another battle in our dirty little war

11. A song about the dangers of love

Used to Love Her - Guns n' Roses
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard

But I apparently don't own it. So. Thanks to barkley, it's now been added to the box.net folder.

When We Two Parted - Afghan Whigs
I should have seen this shit coming down the hall
Every night I spent in that bed with you facing the wall
If I could have only once heard you scream
To feel you were alive
Instead of watching you abandoning yourself

Or

My Vampire Heart - Tom McRae
So let in the light
Turn me to dust
If it don't end in bloodshed, dear,
It's probably not love

12. A song about the aftermath of love

Not Gon' Cry - Mary J. Blige
While all the time that I was loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now you're busy loving someone else
Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids I have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago

Or

Don't Think Twice (It's All Right) - Mike Ness (covering Dylan)
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road,
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
I could've done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

13. A song about the falsity of love

The Long Grift - Hedwig & the Angry Inch soundtrack
I'm just another john you gypped
Another sucker stiffed
I walk on by in the script
To your long, long grift
The love that had me in your grip
Was just a long, long grift

14. A song about the opposite of love

Love to Hate You - Erasure
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guaranteed
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

Enjoy! And as always, let me know what you think!

This was a hard mix to put together, because there are so many songs that could fit, and as you can see, I had a hard time choosing in some cases, and that was after whittling down the list to only two songs.

***

Speaking of music, I can't seem to stop listening to "Got a Suitcase, Got Regrets." I cannot wait for this album to come out. And god, he has to play some New York shows, right?

***

Now I need to go do the hard copy edit of my story, which I was supposed to start two hours ago, before I got distracted by shiny, shiny music.

frankenmix, music
