highlander playlist update #1,600,042

blood roses by tori amos*

also.  "father lucifer", also by tori.  and "lily of the valley" by queen, "you may be right" by billy joel.  ahahahah :cough: and "someday we'll know" by mandy moore and jonathan foreman :cough:.

(i document these little thoughts for posterity--in the interest of preserving the freakiest aspects of this little obsession.  i'm struggling with urges to make icon song-sets.  to, like, eight different songs.)

*
dinah washington - you don't know what love is
dinah washington - since i fell for you
esthero - swallow me (the lyrics don't fit, but i think it'd make a nice sex-themed vid)
esthero - breath from another
esthero - don't mean a thing
evanescence - my last breath
evanescence - everybody's fool
garbage - lick the pavement
garbage - untouchable
garbage - til the day i die
garbage - fix me now
diana krall -  a case of you
paul oakenfold (vocals grant lee phillips) - motion
emiliana torrini - telepathy
dido - i'm no angel
mandy moore - cry
paul oakenfold (vocals emiliana torrini) - hold my hand
louis armstrong - cabaret
sarah slean - i know
sarah slean - my angel (i hate the word angel: why do people have to make songs about it that i then get hooked on?!)
sarah slean - me, i'm a thief

Dumb is just Perfect, yes, with a capital P. Although that wasn't on your list, or have I gone blind?

But, Till The Day I Die connects with this Elrond/Legolas kick I was on and I can't help it after all these years. Although I can see how that was evil and horrible and holy fuck. I'll work on this, but I think that will always be the primary association of that song. Sad as it is.

Have to think about Fix Me Now a bit more. Might just be because I never liked it as a song. You might be onto something there, but it's also generally angsty in a way that makes it applicable to almost anything.

Sometimes it just takes a fresh pair of eyes on a song. I love fandom song calls like crazy, really.

nope, i hadn't listened to dumb yet when i made the original list.

and fix me now--i read the lyrics BEFORE i listened, and i like the lyrics better than the sound. when i make my short playlist (cd-burning length, but that's not going to be for some time) it may not make it.
