It's been way too long since I've played word association with my crazy-diverse iTunes collection. Here's a glimpse into that part of my that moves to a syncopated beat. (OK, sometimes it's syncopated. Sometimes it's not. Just go with me here...)
Storm: “Stormy Weather” ~ Lena Horne
Dark: “Whistling in the Dark” ~ They Might Be Giants
Late: “Stay Up Late” ~ Talking Heads
Heavy: “Heavy Metal Drummer” ~ Wilco
How can I not love a song with the lyric
“she fell in love with the drummer.”
Seriously.
Television: “Sleeping With the Television On” ~ Billy Joel
from arguably my favorite complete Billy Joel album,
the underrated Glass Houses
Leave: “Could I Leave You?” ~ Follies
From the musical "Follies" written by Stephen Sondheim.
If you're new here, I love him like it's my job.
Busy: “Cat’s In the Cradle” ~ Harry Chapin
Smooth: “Agua de Beber” ~ Astrud Gilberto
& Antonio Carlos Jobim
Gentle: “Gentle on My Mind” ~ Glen Campbell
And because I cannot help myself,
I give you the opposite of gentle:
Hurt: “Down in the Depths” ~ Lisa Stansfield
One of my most favorite songs in the entire world.
'Twas written by my musical idol, Cole Porter.
