K, so I was debating whether or not to have a V-day themed blog or if I should post a bunch of "stick it to the man" songs in honor of the absolutely awesome recent events in Egypt. So how 'bout a little of both? Mush for the couples and rebellion for the singles! That's not to say that Egyptians are singles who hate valentines....
So, here's some of my favorite mushy songs. If you don't agree, tough. Skip to the end of this blog and have fun raining on peoples' parades ;)
Oh, How I Miss You- Ryan Shupe & the Rubber Band (our song ;)
The Luckiest- Ben Folds (any mushy list wouldn't be complete without it)
Never My Love- The Association
Lucky- Jason Mraz
Green Eyes- Coldplay
That's All- Michael Buble (I recall dancing to this song with a particularly beautiful bride at a certain wedding..)
I'll spare y'all any more. Let it simply be said that I love my girl more than anything (even MUSIC) and I hope y'all have found/ can find someone as wonderful as she is.
Now, HOORAY EGYPT!!!! First, I would be remiss in my musical duties if I didn't take this opportunity to share a little Bangles... but to be honest, I like this version better:
Other possibly applicable songs (some are Stick It to the Man songs and others are simply good ol' bitter songs. Cuz Who doesn't enjoy a good bitter song every once in a while?)
Get Up Stand Up- Bob Marley
Irreplaceable- Beyonce (can you imagine all the Egyptians singing this to their president? Tee hee)
Holiday- Green Day
Since U Been Gone- Kelly Clarkson
Gives You H...- The All-American Rejects (my lame attempt at editing it, that is...)
King Of Anything- Sara Bareilles
And for those with a twisted sense of humor: A Dramatic Reading of a Break-Up Letter
More Vamlumtimes Music!
ReplyDeleteThese are both on lovey side, but they're not mushy, they're sweet in an original way. Anyways, check out "Song For You" by Alexi Murdoch and "Colors" by Amos Lee.
You need to check out the Annoying Music Podcast. They have some great stuff. Even, I think, a V-day themed episode.
ReplyDeleteAs for cute mushy-ish songs check out these
ReplyDeleteHome to Me-Josh Kelley
Nothing I Can Do-Ben Taylor
Para Tu Amor- Juanes
Haha--SO glad you posted the Teenage Girl Squad!!
ReplyDeleteThe song that my husband and I call "our" song is really cute. It's "Reggae song" by Colors, an old Utah group that we like (but who broke up about 5 years ago).
