Love Songs

Well love is fine and dandy till you loose your candy. Here we find the different stages of a break up and not in any necessary order. I thought I'd add these to the sappy love song blog cause the sweet isn't as sweet without the sour.

Growing apart
Timbaland Feat. One Republic : Freaking beautiful video and vocals! I'm hooked on these two groups. Timbaland collaborates with other bands to create cool hip-hop rock. One republic performs as well live as on cds which says a mouthful.

The realization
Natalie Merchant: one of the best singer and songwriters of all time. She really captures emotions in her work. This piece is no different. It is like the internal dialog one goes through when finally determining what you will and will not take, what you need and want in a relationship.

-My Skin



The anger
Ani DiFranco: singer songwriter who has made a long career on female angst and political folk since the early 90's. this song sure wraps up the feeling of using anger to become your own person again. Video is not official but it was the only one with good sound quality and it has a cool bit of poetry at the end.

Your family and friends
Lily Allen: This Londoner has a great new cd out with uplifting beats and powerful messages. I found this shortly after a break up and twirled about town with the biggest smile cause I knew I still had friends. She became my idol and I rushed to see her perform for SXSW. As the story goes, I ended up pushing her over a rack of Cd's right before she went on stage… oops. Needless to say I left shortly after.

Moving on
Rascal Flatts: What break up is not complete without country music. The title says it all.

Reconciliation and recollection
Marie Lindberg: She is on the top of the Swedish charts without a record label. Her song gives me visuals of a couple meeting again at to try to work things out after a separation where one wants to get back together…

Loneliness
Janis Ian: A ghostly folk singer with songs to yank the heartstrings. She will appear in other blogs just cause she is that good.
