Thirteen Songs I Totally Am Not Ashamed I Love, Plus Nights In White Satin, Which Realy Makes More S
This is my weakness. Wrote shaving porn for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
amireal through the cunning use of being blackmailed within an inch of my life. Huh. Basically, I had really good spinach pizza tonight and feel no pain. Except for maybe a little indigestion. It was good pizza.
Oceans Apart, Richard Marx - this is twelve-to-fourteen year old jenn teenangst music. Seriously, get me drinking and I can tell you *all about* how I connected with Richard Marx while writing the equivalent of Phantom of the Opera fanfic. *Fourteen*.
Nights in White Satin, Moody Blues -- Do we need to go here? No? Good.
I'll Remember, Madonna - ex-boyfriend music. No, a good one! We parted amicably, being citizens of different countries and all, and it was only later he went crazy and became an asshole, then became a lawyer. Huh. I totally *connected* with this when I got home and was all, aww, I miss my Finnish boyfriend.
Take Me Back, Erasure - ex-boyfriend music, college. My roommate was on a Depeche Mode/Erasure thing and I remember making out to this and being very disturbed even then by the fro-ing and to-ing butterflies. Let's never discuss the fact that upon downloading, I could still sing *every word*.
Toy Soldiers, Martika - twelve to fourteen year old teen angst. See Oceans Apart.
Drops of Jupiter, Train - Okay, I love this one without reservation. One third of the fanfic I've written since X-Men has been helped along a *lot* by this sucker, including all of Jus Ad Bellum. I have no idea, but it clicks on some part of my head when I've had enough distance between binge listening. By binge, I mean, three hour repeats.
Things Will Never Be the Same, Roxette - ex-boyfriend music. See I'll Remember, but during, not after. Mikko turned me onto Roxette in a big way. It's extremely associative and one of the first songs I got online when I um, downloaded stuff.
Stay, Shakespeare's Sister - this is more huh music. I saw the video in Finland but never could remember the artist, so I used to search for titles that started with Stay. Suffice to say, trial and error until I got it right, but it's one of my favorites, mostly because the vid was *so* cool to seventeen year old me, with the devil and the chains and the blue light. At least, I think there was blue light. Also it was English, of which there was a sad lack in my life, which explains also why I bonded with Ace of Base in a big way.
Alone, Heart - remnant of childhood. I heard it again off of American Idol and pesteredsvmadelyn to get it for me. I just love this one.
All or Nothing, O-Town - okay, this one is when I was going through that popslash thing and I read this story and thought, you know, if I'm reading about them fucking, I should probably listen to their music. This is the only song I liked. Also leading later to buying Justin Timberlake's album, but let's never, ever go there.
It's Over Now, Neve - X-Men era, when all of my friends were watching Dawson's Creek, so I did too. Let's never speak of this again.
Kiss the Rain, Billy Myers -- I wrote most of On Love and Lust At Mutant High to this one. I still listen to it when I re-read.
Summer Rain, Belinda Carlyle - seriously, this one gets me *every time*. I like music associated with rain and storms, so lookie, there we go. Pretty. Very pretty.
Please Forgive Me, Bryan Adams - high school graduation. Man, that felt good.
How Do You Talk to an Angel - yeah. No. It was a show, I liked it, and that's all I have to say on the subject. Like, ever.

From:[random-ass trivia]
I knew the songwriter. Barry... shit, what was his last name? Barry and Megan... damn. Married into family friends of ours, showed up one Christmas crowing about show placement and showed us a video, their teensy daughter was in it for like, five seconds.
I always felt vaguely guilty that I couldn't stand the show, not even for Barry's song ;)
