Pete Townsend, "Secondhand Love"
Joni Mitchell, "A Case of You" and "Help Me"
Ethan Rayne ,'Potential'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Pete Townsend, "Secondhand Love"
Joni Mitchell, "A Case of You" and "Help Me"
Oh! Ok, whether this song fits is open to interpretation, but I think the tone is right. Plus, it's simply a phenomenal song. One of the few songs that grabbed me to the point that I still remember where I was the first time I heard it. The Whitlams, "No Aphrodisiac". [link]
(It is also one of Ryan's favourite songs, because we fail at parenting. He also likes Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt", and it is quite funny to hear this incredulous voice occasionally pipe up from the back seat with "My sweetest friend?!?")
Another one: Beyonce, "If I Were A Boy".
Wham, "Everything She Wants".
I can tell I am going to be hitting itunes a lot when I get home.
More of the Australian contingent: Kylie Minogue, "Better The Devil You Know".
Lee, do you has the Rihanna version of Love the Way You Lie? It's slightly different.
Christina Aguilera has one called "Elastic Love" but I'm not a huge fan of the song.
James, Laid.
Florence and the Machine, Cosmic Love
do you has the Rihanna version of Love the Way You Lie
I have the one featuring Rihanna--is there one of just her? I shall have to look for that.
eta: Google tells me there is! I shall have to buy that tonight
It's still got Eminem, but it's got more her. Speaking of Rihanna...
Rihanna, Complicated
Lauryn Hill, Ex-Factor
Ke$ha, Your Love Is My Drug
Another song by Linda Ronstadt: "You're No Good".
