Well, you have been clever. Here's a little something I worked up quickly. The broad explanation is that it's easy to list favorite songs, but it seems to me like most people take songs simply as entertainment - something to listen to, usually in the background. I have a much closer relationship to music, it seems. If there's music on somewhere, there is the real risk that I'll get so completely caught up in it that I'll be oblivious to anything else - it's happened before, believe me. So, since listing just the titles of my favorite songs would tell absolutely nothing of what I'd be trying to present, I've put links to the lyrics (as I interpret them) for each one. This way, I hope you might actually understand WHY they're my favorites - not just because they sound good. Why bother with this at all? Good question - and I can't say I have a good answer. But then, why do people make personal journals on the Internet? I don't like that idea very much (perhaps because a journal of my life would be rather empty), so this is my equivalent.

Incidentally, none of these have been reproduced by permission - I don't even know they're correct, or as they're supposed to be; I just write them down as what I hear them to be - refering to the album booklet, admittedly (if I have it, and if they're in there :P) |
