DISCLAIMER: I am a total sap. Which explains a lot of the reasons why these songs are here. The thing is that my emotions dictate why I will like a song. A song becomes my favorite if it elicits a good emotion from me.
Getting on with the program. The 100 songs meme is one started by Baddie, right here, and is said to be the songs you would want your future children to listen to. Friends who are also doing this meme are here, here and here. Drop by their pages for their ongoing count, as well. The entirety of my list here: the 100 songs meme.
From some of my favorite male bands in the planet. Here we go:
31. The Shins - Kissing the Lipless
I remember being in an island paradise earlier this year and swinging in a hammock listening to this song--LSS-ing to this song. I did not want to do anything that afternoon unless after I satiate my need to listen to this song right here.
You've got too much to wear On your sleeves It has too much to do with me (very definitive of my "love life" or lack thereof)
32. The Postal Service - Nothing Better
A little side story: I have this thing for words. This year, I decided to go out on a date with this guy on the account that he used "I gather that" in a conversation. Words, they affect me!
Your heart won't heal right If you keep tearing out the sutures
one: the imagery of sutures appeal to me, two: its use is just very appropriate. One also has to consider the fact that this is a song, a conversation, between a couple (Jenny Lewis and Ben Gibbard in vocals, ftw!) They do not make songs like these anymore. Duets are <3
33. Death Cab for Cutie - Brothers on a Hotel Bed
Death Cab for Cutie makes some of the most lyrically exact songs. Exact in the sense that they could be any one's story. The 1min+ intro makes me want to tap my chest and grip it. Listen to the lyrics. There is a part of me fearful that maybe someday I will end up with this story. Painful as it is, I think most of us are condemned to this.
You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be
Side note: the words "Break Away from the Concrete" (if you wanna leave a comment on this blog) and "Landlocked Lovers" (for those who have left a comment) are from this song.
34. Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life
This song will play in my wedding, assuming of course I will feel like getting married.
35. Pinback - Fortress
One of my favorite words: Fortress, because I have been told I wear a lot of them.
36. The Magic Numbers - Take A Chance
(Sorry not the full version)
The Magic Numbers may not always make the most cohesive and lyrically brilliant songs, but they sure make the most catchy tunes. This one makes me want to take of my shoes and dance.
37. Bloc Party - I Still Remember
Two of my favorite Bloc Party songs are in one album, FTW! I think of this song to be the background music to Seven Years Later, Driving Home, a poem by Justine Camacho.
38. The Decemberists - Oceanside
This song makes me blush. The sexual innuendo is controlled and very orgasmic. Sexual banter in sexy, sexy form.
If I could only get you ocean side/To lay your muscles wide/It'd be heavenly.
39. Wilco - I am Trying to Break Your Heart
For a while, this has been my twitter profile. Because I am like this. Because I subscribe to love the way this song describes it to be. I will not say anything anymore at the risk of giving out too much about myself.
40. Muse - Starlight
I named my camera after this song. Starlight is just so catchy, that if it gets played on shuffle more often than not you will not hit the next/skip button. The first few second just kills. The clapping and the tapping is just very infectious.
