Songs I Love

Hey Everyone!!

Since I will soon be gone to the boons to live in a tent, commune with bears and eat tree bark, I want to get your fave songs so I can download them and put them on my new (PINK!) MuVo mp3 player (which, btw I LOVE!!). And I want to share with you my current loves - song wise.

Jimmy Eat World - For Me This Is Heaven
-absolutely gorgeous, awesome lyrics, I can't stop listening to it. Especially the chorus "when the time we have now ends, when the big hand goes 'round, again. Can you still feel the butterflies? Can you still hear the last goodbyes?" And then when he goes "If I don't let myself be happy now, then when? If not now, when?" I think it's about the demise of a relationship. Lovely. Beautiful piano and instrumentation. Just trust me.

Something Corporate - Konstantine
-checked for the lyrics online, and there are 50 (50!!) pages of people talking about the meaning of the song and talking about how it made them pull over and cry for hours (btw it didn't make me cry, maybe I'm heartless). Again with the gorgeous piano (I am such a sucker for piano). Some ppl recomend a live version, which is good but I like the recorded one too. I say, get them both. Again I think this is about a relationship that might be ending. And I generally love SoCo, ever since they opened for Good Charlotte. Check out Fall, Forget December, I Woke Up In A Car, etc.

Postal Service - Nothing Better
-my cousin Nathan has introduced me to this fantastic band. They have their own sound and I love how they have some songs (like this one) which is a kind of conversation. This is a really sweet song about a guy who doesn't want to give up on being with his ex-girlfriend. The demise of a relationship. . .again. Is this a theme for me or something?? Anyway, it's really simple and really awesome. It's kind of trippy-rave-techno-ish which I generally don't like but I dig it in this song. In this band really. Check it out check it out check it out . . .

MxPx - Quit Your Life
-don't know if it actually is MxPx, but that is who I found it under in Kazaa. It's just a cute song with a catchy chorus. Makes me smile. Not much else to say. Except - who doesn't love MxPx? Even though I thought they sold out I sort of changed my mind. Maybe they just grew up. And they are FANTASTIC live.

Eve 6 - Promise
-kind of cute, although with an odd message. Sort of about the things that can go wrong in a relationship and how to know what to do about them. Like "I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine". Warning, does have a swear word, but it is almost always censored. Love Eve 6. Here's To The Night, anyone?

Dashboard Confessional - Plain Morning
-love love LOVE it!! Sad but cute, most of us already know this one. I love the harmony and simplicity and general sadness in this song. Just listen.

I could go on for hours, music is huge for me. Oh, one last plug for Low by Kelly Clarkson. So good. Anyhow. Let me know what I should hook myself up with all! Thanks.
