Tag!

I've tagged myself in a meme that Jamie did called 5 songs that knock your socks off. Now, first of all it is terribly difficult to pick just 5 songs. So I've decided to pick songs not based on quality (although they are definitely quality) but based on the emotional attachment I have to them.


  1. Walking Man by James Taylor: It's had to pick just one of Taylor's songs because I do love all of them so intensely. I've seen him 3 times in concert and his is the only concert I've actually shed a tear at because it was so beautiful. But Walking Man is my very favorite of all of them. I obsess about that song.


  2. Zak and Sara by Ben Folds:
    Often Sara would have spells where she lost time
    She saw the future, she heard voices from inside
    The kind of voices she would soon learn to deny
    Because at home they got her smacked

    Zak and Sara
    Zak and Sara

    Zak called his dad about layaway plans
    And Sara told the friendly salesman that:
    "You'll all die in your cars,
    And why's it gotta be dark?
    And you're all working in a submarine"


    This song is heartbreaking. I love it. Period.


  3. Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles On Christen's and my first date he sang this song to me and I melt everytime I hear it.


  4. Do you Remember by Jack Johnson This song reminds me of everything college. I adore this song.


  5. Bedroom Dancing off the Cruel Intentions soundtrack Now, really I love the whole soundtrack but there's something about this song that makes me crank it up and open the car windows. My favorite lyrics?
    And led me to her bedroom.
    And then she did it,
    Stripped me half-naked,
    And told me, that her body, was sacred.
    She said I could take it,
    If I danced with her,
    But somehow I knew
    That she was an indian-giver.



Do you have 5 songs that really knock your socks off? Let me know!

Ben Folds writes the saddest songs. I have the Cruel Intentions soundtrack, but I don't remember the song; I'll have to pop it back in!
