i need you…
…and, by you, what i really mean is that i need your musical genius and eclecticism to shine forth and multiply and help me with something.
(and, darling bff, if you’re reading this for some weird reason because i know you don’t read my blog unless i tell you to really but on the off chance that you are, could you please not read this one? kthanks. love!)
okay.
so.
i have an idea for a present.
but…i need help. mainly because i am somewhat brainfried right now and haven’t really been paying much attention to the world around me much. i know. life is tragic.
BUT.
i need love song suggestions.
please don’t throw things at me, but i want to make a CD (i have a history of doing this…yes, i know it’s cheesy. shut up. it goes over well) of songs that remind me of the bff, but i only have a few that i think i actually want to put on there. i would like to have as much an eclectic mix as possible, so anything from ska to country to swing will work. i’m thinking of putting some pat benatar, heidi newfield, ben harper, kenny chesney, brad paisley, maybe some jack johnson…see? i’m in a rut! help me!
so…suggestions are great. suggestions are essential. suggestions are necessary. please help me seem amazing! and save me some work. and sanity!
delurk! tell me your five favorite love songs or the songs that make you swoon. please?
i’ll give you a candy heart.
promise.

Your Call (or really any song) by Secondhand Serenade
Ice Cream, Sarah McLachlan
When You Say Nothing At All, Alison Krauss (or the one from Notting Hill, both great!)
Keep Holding On, Avril Lavigne
In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel
Come What May, Moulin Rouge Soundtrack
That’s all I got for now but I’ll let you know if I come up with more!
