My Ultimate Playlist

I don't know why these songs get me like they do...but they do.

This list includes my current all-time favorite song: Come on Eileen.  That changing tempo and repetition of "Too-ra-loo-ra" have me jumping out of my seat no matter where I am.  Sometimes, though, it's best not to delve too deep into the meaning of these songs...especially with Come on Eileen.

These songs give me the feels.  Comment and let me know if any of these songs hit you in the gut too!!

Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners

Quotable Lyrics:

These people round here

Wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces

They're so resigned to what their fate is

But not us (no never)

No, not us (no never)

We are far too young and clever

Heroes - David Bowie

Quotable Lyrics:

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can be heroes, just for one day

We can be us, just for one day

Second Hand Heart - Dwight Yoakam

Quotable Lyrics:

I said if you could count up memories but only keep the best

You might not see how good they were without the rest

Dime Store Cowgirl - Kacey Musgraves

Quotable Lyrics:

I'm happy with what I got, cause what I got is all I need

Just cause it don't cost a lot, don't cost a lot, don't mean it's cheap

The Taste of Ink - The Used

Quotable Lyrics:

And won't you think I'm pretty

When I'm standing top the bright lit city

And I'll take your hand and pick you up

And keep you there so you can see

Do You Believe in Magic? - The Lovin' Spoonful

Quotable Lyrics:

Do you believe in magic?

In a young girl's heart

How the music can free her

Whenever it starts

Laid - James

Quotable Lyrics:

I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone

You're driving me crazy

When are you coming home?

24 Frames - Jason Isbell

Quotable Lyrics:

This is how you talk to her when no one else is listening

And this is how you help her when the muse goes missing

You vanish so she can go drowning in a dream again

Dammit - Blink 182

Quotable Lyrics:

And I'll smile

And you'll wave

We'll pretend

It's okay

The charade

It won't last

When he's gone

I won't come back

Under Pressure (Live) - My Chemical Romance & The Used

Quotable Lyrics:

Cause love's such an old fashioned word

And love dares you to care for

The people on the edge of the night

And love dares you to change our way of

Caring about ourselves
