I ♫: MY MIXTAPE TODAY

Here are some of my top tracks. Altogether slowly, dark, sad, awesome!!!

radiohead: "talk show host"

Sexiest song ever. There is nothing else that comes close to it for me-that's all. Remember "Romeo&Juliet" ('96)??

the white stripes: "jolene"

This was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar. Jack White totally takes it to another galaxy! ♥


LCD soundsystem: "dance yrself clean"

The great song from the third LCD album "This Is Happening" is what dancing should be if you truly dance -- leave it all out there. I did, and I had a whiplash for a few days.

nina simone: "four women"

It's about these four different women through time and the georgeous Nina puts amazing emotion and personality behind each one of them.

bright eyes: "firewall"

Conor Oberst is one of my favorite songwriters. I need a good melody, but for me it's all about lyrics.

edith piaf: "sous le ciel de paris" (under the sky of paris)

This is my Sunday staple: I put this on, make French toast, and have a good day!

I ♫: "SMILE"

 I ♥ this wonderful slow heart-tugging song performed by Judy Garland! It sounds so sad, but although it's full of optimism for me!

 

"Smile" is based on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack of the 1936 Charlie Chaplin movie Modern Times. The great Chaplin composed the music, while John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954 and originally sung by Nat King Cole. Over the years many artists have recorded the song including Tony Bennett, Barbara Streisand, Rod Steward and - yes! - Michael Jackson.

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds, in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile, through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and there'll be tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
If you'll....Bildunterschrift hinzufügen
