Three Songs That Mean Something To You:
Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
Mama ooo,
Didn’t mean to make you cry-
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters…
Reason: This is just the song. It’s everything. I hear it and I see my Dad and my mountains and the Climbing Team and I can smell bars (before the smoking ban, incidentally). It’s happy and it’s sad, and you have to sing along. You actually have to. We had this right at the end of my party and everyone sang and I was so fucking happy I can’t even tell you. And I played it last year and Jess was singing and Sam joined in on the drums… yeah. This song is everything to me.
Danny Boy
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
For you will kneel and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me.
Reason: I actually have the brass band version of this on my iPod (and yes, I totally orgasm at the crescendo), but the lyrics are gorgeous too. I love the idea of this song, and the melody is beautiful.
Hallelujah – Rufus Wainwright
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah…
Reason: Jess again. She and I spent every Wednesday last year with a piano and a shitload of sheet music, and this was our favourite piece, and I’d sing the melody and play the piano, and she’d put all this gorgeous improv. in above it. I just love it when you can get someone to really let go and have fun with their music, and singing with Jess just does that for me. I miss our piano time so much.
One Songs That Never Fails To Make You Cry/Emotional:
Two Little Boys – Rolf Harris
Did you think I would leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two
Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys
Reason: This is Danny. I knew a lot of soldiers, and I can really see this happening (if not quite so literally), so yeah, I tear up.
One Songs That Never Fails To Bring The Lulz:
The Internet is for Porn – Avenue Q
TREKKIE
The internet is for porn
KATE
Trekkie!
TREKKIE
The internet is for porn,
KATE
What are you doing!?
TREKKIE
Why you think the net was born?
Porn porn porn
Reason: Emily! We got stuck on a bus for two hours on the last day of term last year, and our driver was amazing and brought out all these CDs of Power Ballads and Musicals and we all sang along and pretty much had a two hour party. And this was the funniest song. And also reminded me or Emily, who danced around our form room singing this (we were a very strict private school).
The Last Song You Listened To:
Born to Run – Bruce Springstein
The highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody’s out on the run tonight but there’s no place left to hide
Together Wendy well live with the sadness
I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
Did a Shuffle Pick This Song? Nope, I picked this song (and maybe stealed it from Youtube while I was at it…)
Did You Like This Song? I love this song! I’d forgotten about it until it was on the radio, and then I remembered that this is one of those you just have to roll all the windows down and sing along to at the top of your lungs.
Sexiest Song In Your Music Collection:
I’ll Remember You – Steve Carlson
I’ll take my fingertips on a trip of your body
With nothing other than my lips to guide me,
We’ll lay around and we’ll play all afternoon…
Reason:I don’t even know what it is about this song that gets me so wet, maybe it’s Steve’s voice, or the lyrics or… something. I love this song, it makes me all wriggly and… yeah.
One Song You Think Everyone Should Have In Their Musical Library:
Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing – Aerosmith
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever
Reason: Umm… guilty pleasure? I have never met anyone who didn’t like this song, it’s sweet and loud and… I just love it.
Most Underrated Song In Your Collection:
It’s All Coming Back to me Now – Meatloaf
There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again but they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow…
Reason: I love this song, I used to sing along to it on my way to work, and it kept me going every time. People just don’t appreciate how musically intelligent Meatloaf is, I mean, he and Freddie Mercury invented Rock Opera, and it’s amazing stuff!
Song You've Been Rocking on Repeat Lately:
Don’t Come Home – Kane
I just called to tell you
That I was wrong and you were on my mind.
If you want I'll leave you alone right now
'Cause I know why you're saying, why you're saying
Don't come home.
Reason: I’ve been listening to this a lot. It’s sweet and sad and I don’t even know what it makes me feel. Also, the female backing singer on here sounds amazing, without detracting from ChrisandSteve.
