Top Ten
Posted: January 5, 2013 | Author: April | Filed under: Entertainment | Tags: lists, music, top ten |7 CommentsIt’s quite the challenge for me to limit my favorite songs; in compiling a list, I always have to substitute and sacrifice. Ian and I were talking about this on the way to my parents’, and I suggested a top five. That was just too hard. Even ten hurts me. Maybe twenty would be okay…probably not.
What I’ve noticed is different for me than most people I know is that I don’t favor songs for their lyrics. I know lyrics; I have thousands of them swimming in my brain. They just don’t hold meaning for me. I experience the whole song without translating it from the language of music. It’s melody, energy, and voice used as an instrument instead of a method of communication. Ha, deep words when the first song I list is Diamond Dave!
Here we go:
What are your favorite songs?
R. Sativus 
Fun! Panama is such a great song: love.
Huh: I don’t know that I could pull a list, but here’s a few I love:
-Femme D’Argent, Air
-Bonnie and Clyde, Serge Gainsborough

-Son of a Preacher Man, Dusty Springfield
-How Come You Never Go There, Feist
