I’d Do It All Again, Corinne Bailey Rae, The Sea [2010]

Someone to love

It’s bigger than your pride’s worth
It’s bigger than the pain you got for all it hurts
It outruns all of the sadness
Is there a fine line to the darkness

Listen to this record immediately—it’s heargasmic. Oh Corinne, I have missed you so.

Monster, Lady Gaga, The Fame Monster [2009]

I asked my girlfriend if she’d seen you round before
She mumbled something while we got down on the floor baby
We might’ve fucked not really sure, don’t quite recall
But something tells me that I’ve seen him, yeah

So I think Lady Gaga is just a coutured-up version of Madonna+Christina Aguilara, with only half the charisma, but you just can’t deny the fact that her songs are freaking catchy,

Back To You, John Mayer, Room for Squares [2001]

I’m so good at forgetting
And I quit every game I’ve played
But forgive me love
I can’t turn and walk away

My roommate Val is obsessed with John Mayer. Like, she buys his CDs obsessed. One of our favorite in-jokes is about how she got wet (yes, that kind of wet) at one of his concerts. It was right after he debuted his newly shaved head, and she was, well, a fan.

Island in the Sun, Weezer, The Green Album [2001]

We’ll run away together
We’ll spend some time forever
We’ll never feel bad anymore

Golden Train, Justin Nozuka, Holly [2007

Oh one thing I know for sure
Is my love for you is deeper then any root or stone,
Mamma told me so,
Don’t walk the streets alone

Gate 22, Pascale Picard Band, Me, Myself & Us [2007]

There’s too many dreams I must chase down
Though sometimes I bite off more than I can chew
I know you’d like to keep me near
I know it’s easier to be two
But I can’t plan my life all around you

Let Go, Frou Frou, Details [2002]

So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It’s all right
‘Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown

Love You Madly, CAKE, Comfort Eagle [2001]

I don’t want to wonder
If this is a blunder
I don’t want to worry whether
We’re going to stay together
‘Till we die

I don’t want to jump in
Unless this music’s thumping
All the dishes rattle in the cupboards
When the elephants arrive

I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly, ouais
I want to love you, love you
Love you madly

Right as Rain, Adele, 19 [2008]

They make believe that everything
Is exactly what it seems
But at least
When you’re at your worst
You know how to feel things.

Hello, I’m in Delaware, Dallas Green, Sometimes [2005]

You know that feeling in your heart when you’re missing someone, whether they are close by or far apart? I feel that every time I hear this song, whether or not I am pining, or happy, or at peace.
