And the pain continues.
\nAfter that epic post of cheese I thought I should share my very favourite songs with you! I dont have one favourite song…i have a small list. These songs have stood the test of time and i can listen to over and over non-stop and not get sick of them!<\/p>\n

sadly not all have videos so i have uploaded them all on box.net and will share a vid if there is one.<\/p>\n

These are in no particular order<\/p>\n

Superior ~ Polaroid Millenium<\/a>
\nThis one may get me a lot of hits on my site because people are always looking for it to download. It was on the soundtrack for the Saint and I have loved it ever since I first heard it.
\nActually anyone else who loves it – can you tell me what you think she says at the end of the line that goes “have i learned to walk too soon, is it time to ……..” – i have been trying to decipher what the fuck she says for 10 fricking years! <\/p>\n


\ncelluloid, monochrome or colour \/ dont want to end in tears
\ni’ll leave before my fears confirmed \/ scared to learn
\nwasted knowledge \/ I’ll give to the grave
\nthese four wall are lost forever
\ni could never be that clever
\n<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wendy Matthews ~ Beloved<\/a>
\nSung from the point of view of a ghost. I bought the single when it came out and everything! haha yeah i love it!<\/p>\n


\nall I feel, all I am now \/ is this love I have for you
\neach night it’s you \/ you I lay beside <\/p>\n

close my eyes, never to sleep
\ni tell you all the things I should have said
\nBut you’ll never know
\nhow could I act such a part
\n as to love the one who breaks my heart
\nI had to go …
\n <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Malcolm McLaren ~ Madam Butterfly<\/a>
\nGreat combo of opera stuff and pop delciousness. I dont know why I love it so much but I do! though i hate the bit where the guys is talking…urgh!<\/p>\n


\nWho on earth can it be
\n Coming up the path for me?
\nWhat on earth will he say?
\nShall I run to him or run away? <\/p>\n

Freaking out he’s come to get me
\nMy feet are stuck but just won’t let me
\nRun to him do I dare?
\nMadam Butterfly don’t blow it
\n <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lisa Germano ~ Puppet<\/a>
\nI shared the video a few posts back. First song I heard by her and still probably my fave (only two songs come close to being loved as much).
\n<\/p>\n


\nput me here or put me there \/ do i feel better now?
\nused to have a fit or two \/ but now i only smile
\n’cause when i am a puppet \/ we get along just fine
\nand maybe for a while \/ we could play together
\nand when i am a puppet \/ and i have no voice
\nand maybe in your hands \/ i could just right
\n <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sarah McLachlan ~ Full of Grace<\/a>
\nYes – blame Buffy. End of Season 2 of Buffy – still one of the most amazing things I have ever watched on tv. my heart totally broke. And introduced me to this gorgeous song. Thanks Joss and co!
\n<\/p>\n


\nit’s better this way, i said
\nhaving seen this place before
\nwhere everything we said and did
\nhurts us all the more
\nits just that we stayed, too long
\nin the same old sickly skin
\ni’m pulled down by the undertow
\ni never thought i could feel so low
\noh darkness i feel like letting go
\nif all of the strength and all of the courage
\ncome and lift me from this place
\ni know i could love you much better than this
\nfull of grace
\n <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Garbage ~ Cup of Coffee<\/a>
\nI first heard OF this song (not actually listened to it) from a Harry Potter fanfic…I am pretty sure it was Draco\/Ginny one, but I also read a Draco\/Harry one sometime later and they were both good.
\nAnyways the first one I read made me interested in the song and as I hadnt yet bought that garbage album at that time – well i HAD TO GET IT! The song is fantastic…..oh – its a break up song. Most of my faves are kinda depressing eh?
\n
\nMan it was a bitch to choose a lyric so you got a big chunk!<\/p>\n


\nyou tell me you dont love me over a cup of coffee
\nand i just have to look away
\na million miles between us \/ planets crashing to dust
\ni just let it fade away <\/p>\n

i’m walking empty streets hoping we might meet
\ni see your car parked on the road
\nthe light on at your window \/ i know for sure that youre home
\nbut i just have to pass on by <\/p>\n

so no of course we cant be friends
\nnot while i’m still this obsessed
\ni guess i always knew the score
\nthis is how our story ends
\n <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hyde ~ Shallow Sleep (english version)<\/a>
\nFirst up this ISNT the english ensemble version which is slower – this is the version on the International version of ROentgen which has the music the same as the original – just the english lyrics instead of japanese. and damn its gorgeous! i love it so much!
\n<\/p>\n


\ni just saw you
\na moment far too brief \/ before the daylight came
\nbut my heart is beating fast \/ perhaps we’ll meet again <\/p>\n

in a shallow sleep i dreamt i was seeing you
\njust how I remembered brimming with tenderness
\nand somewhere in the calm of feeling that nothing had ever changed
\nyour presence close beside me till I wake
\n <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These next two are in japanese and there are english translatiosn for them but they just dont give you the same feeling…box.net lets you play the songs from the browser before downloading so have a listen and see if it appeals.<\/p>\n

Gackt ~ Cube<\/a>
\nThis song is WITHOUT doubt THE BEST THING he has ever done! It blows me away. Its bloody fantastic.
\nI wanna get a room with awesome accoustics and a surround sound thing and then play this song at full bawl and i wanna feel it in MY BONES MAN!!!!!!!!!!! listening to this song quietly only hints at its brilliance. HOLY GOD I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
\nAnyway – here is a Youtube vid of it being performed live….stays pretty close to the original which is good! (oh and it does have english subs on it for you to read if you really wanna know what he is saying)

BONNIE PINK ~ Last Kiss<\/a>
\nthe single MOST played song on my iTunes (4240 plays since May of 2005). Its just beautiful. Damn i wasnt going to include a lyric but I just love the end bit…..
\n<\/p>\n


\nYaseta yubi ni kisu wo shite naita anata wo omoidasu yo
\nKore de owari da to shitemo
\nSaigo no kisu wa wasurenai yo wasurenai yo wasurenai yo
\nKare no kisu wo wasurenai yo <\/p>\n

english<\/b>
\nI remember how you cried as you kissed my slim fingers
\nEven if this is the end
\nI won’t forget our last kiss , i won’t forget, i won’t forget
\nI won’t forget his kiss<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

see totally loses the impact in english – but when she is belting out the ‘wasurenai yo’s it just kills me dead! so saaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
