...and because yesterday was super-angsty song day, today I'm gathering songs that instantly lift the spirits.
This song reminds me of studying for humanities courses in college and of smoking clove cigarettes with my best friends.
When this song first came out, I was only ten years old and didn't really understand what "touching yourself" meant. I thought the singer just liked some guy so much it made her touch her own face and mess up her hair when she thought about him. Now that I'm older I understand exactly what she is singing about.
This song is strange. It's a beautiful song that gives me goosebumps. It's really sweet and makes me smile, but I also feel some kind of lingering sadness or desperation behind the lyrics.
Lyrically, this is probably one of the funniest songs ever.
This song has amazing sound and transports me to another place. I think it makes a perfect song for a long drive. And besides, the lead singer's vampire-as-pirate get-up is awesome enough to warrant some kind of recognition.
I used to want to live inside that ice cream truck.
This song is perfect. It makes me wish someone would write a song like this about me someday. And the video with the clouds and her sitting at the bar in that beautiful blue dress is romantic as well.
See, goths can be happy too. This was one of my favorite songs in high school.
I don't care what anyone says--I love this song, and will sing it non-sarcastically and non-ironically in mixed company.
