Songs for the Moment: Premiere partie
Music is an integral part of my life and so I've decided to share some of my favorite songs (old and new, depending on my mood) with you, faithful readers of the Forum.
These songs can be therapeutic, helping purge pent up feelings as I sing along or silently cry. Others get my body moving, inspiring moves not unlike those displayed by Cameron Diaz in Charlie's Angels. More importantly they make me feel. So here's the starting line-up:
1 - Hot Hot Heat - Middle of Nowhere - "Don't get mad if I'm laughing/Blame the caffeine for all the 5 am phone calls/
I haven't slept a single night in over a month...." Perhaps this explains Area Codes Al's early AM dialing practices.
2- Interpol - Song Seven - Released on their special edition of Antics, this one is for the darker days.
3- Roxy Music - Love Is the Drug - Although I wasn't even a thought in my parents' mind when Bryan Ferry was macking it with Jerry Hall, he still rocks my world. I "heart" Bryan Ferry.
4- Kinky - The Headphonist - This one plays on my iPod every morning on my walk into work. Puts some groove in my step.
5- Generation X/Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself - Crazy dancing until 4 AM in the college slums of Allston, MA.
6- Madonna - Like a Prayer - Sing along classic in my circle of friends and a must before a night on the town.
I could go on but I'll save them for a next installment.
Be brave o readers of the blog and share some of your favorites!
To quote the Libertines:
"Don't be shy
For if you are shy for tomorrow
You'll be shy for one thousand days
Now is your time to shine
Dance and hear your song
or you may wake up one day in the last chance saloon
to find your last chance has been and gone"
