I was thinking about something Marnie did a while back, a top ten songs ever list. I knew I could never narrow it down that much, but the other day I went through all the mp3s on my computer and threw this list together.
All of these songs in particular speak to me about something... either it's the words, or the sentiment, or both. I think you can spot a running theme, though. Some are happy, some not so much. Not all of them are the original versions. Particularly important ones are in italics. Some I can't actually listen to anymore because of the meaning they have taken on for me; how stupid of me is that? There might also seem to be some odd, incongruous tracks in there, but that's normal with my playlists. Besides, their presence makes sense to me.
If you want to hear these songs, look them up, download them (legally, of course... just like I did, honestly) or check out the albums they come from. To track them down, and to read the lyrics should you care to, I suggest trying LetsSingIt.com or Sing365.com. They've always worked for me. Well, mostly.
Oh, and if I can be said to have a "theme song" it's definitely How Soon Is Now?.
ADDENDUM: I can't believe I forgot one! There's something new at no. 37, moving everything down one.

Hee, I like your theme song.
I downloaded it and was surprised that I knew it from *charmed*. I've never paid attention to the lyrics though.

Yeah, that's where I first knew it from. Of course, it's really a Smiths song; Morrisey at his oh-so-cheerful best. And you don't really get the feel of the lyrics from the cut-down 'Charmed' version... so the full version is quite different.

I know exactly what you mean. I have a few songs like that, too.
I've only heard 10 of these songs! Shame on me. I do get a sense of a theme, though. I will have to listen to How Soon is Now at some point.

Hey, I've been looking everywhere for Marina Benedict's "Back In The Blue," but I can't seem to find it. Where did you get it?

There's an Angel site called CityOfAngel.com, or there was last I looked. Sign up for their members section, I think they call it The Underground, and head for the media player. There's all kinds of songs there, including Back In The Blue and L.A.
Enjoy!
