Music swap. Because my selection has begun to bore me and I find I'm just skipping past most things on my MP3 player now. Semi the playlist shuffle meme, semi random songs that I've gotten recently/aren't that well known/I've been digging.



Eight Easy Steps -- Alanis Morissette (My life, this one.)
How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment
How to defer to men in solve-able predicaments
How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you
How to have that not work and have them run away from you

Destiny -- Syntax (You may recognize this one from NBC's Law and Order spinoff Conviction--I actually prefer the TV theme arrangement, but this one's still cool.)
How can I change the path that I'm on
This is my Destiny
This is my life, my own right or wrong
Bring it on back to me
How can I say what it is that I want
Wisdom speak to me
Life is sweet, then the moment is gone

Bleed Like Me -- Garbage (The music video for this? Not as hot as the "Androgyny" one, but what ever could be?)
Just try to comprehend that which
You'll never comprehend
Try to comprehend that which
You'll never comprehend

Meet Virginia -- Train (Lovelovelove. This is one of their first ones from way back when.)
She doesn't own a dress
Her hair is always a mess
You catch her stealin', she won't confess
She's beautiful.

Fences -- Paramore (This is oddly. . . that preppy alt. rock for me, but I like it.)
Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walking
I said, let's see you walking

The Girl in 14-G -- (cover) Kristin Chenoweth (I saw her do this live on TV--just google it, it's the first couple of hits--and she's just as amazing at it. Tricks of the recording this is not, she's really that good.)
I'm not one to
Raise my voice
Make a fuss
Or speak my mind
But might I query--
Would you mind if--
Could you kindly
STOP!

Cellophane -- Amanda Ghost (First heard of AG after a different song was used in an ER episode. . . 6 or 7 years ago. Now, she just writes, but a bunch of her stuff is being used lately--some TV show's theme, one of the songs from the new Hairspray, etc.)
Nobody moves me
I've been through this life
With no place that I can call my own
Thinking above me
I never seem to find anybody that can feel like home
And I try and I try and I try

For What It's Worth -- Buffalo Springfield (The quintessential protest song. Old, but still applicable.)
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Drive -- Melissa Ferrick (Melissa Ferrick highly seductive song #1.)
Your mouth waters
Stretched out on my bed
Your fingers are trembling
And your heart is heavy and red
And your head is bent back
And your back is arched
My hand is under there
Holding you up

Shameless -- Ani DiFranco (You know those songs that you associate inseparably with a pairing? CJ/Abbey, from West Wing.)
We're in a room without a door
And I am sure without a doubt
They're gonna wanna know
How we got in here
And they're gonna wanna know
How we plan to get out
. . .
I gotta cover my butt 'cuz I covet
Another man's wife
I got to divide my emotions
Between wrong and right
Then I get to see how close I can get to it
Without giving in
Then I get to rub up against it
Till I break the skin

Taste -- Melissa Ferrick (Melissa Ferrick highly seductive song #2.)
If I could have just a moment of you
Would I be wanting more?
If I could have just a taste of you
Would I be addicted?
If I could have just a touch of you
Could I tear myself away?

All together (because my uploading speed is horrible).

So swap me! Some of you have done posts like this fairly recently, so link me there, email me something good, throw out a couple new ones of your own.
