...songs I'm digging tonight--*

So...looking at the lyrics, there COULD be an argument for a theme going on here, but really I just like the sounds--some great melodies and fun arrangements--enjoy!

Ben Folds featuring Regina Spektor - You Don't Know Me
excerpt:
You could have just propped me up on the table like a mannequin
Or a cardboard stand-up and paint me (paint me)
Any face that you wanted me To be seen.
We're Damned by the existential moment where
We saw the couple in the coma and
It was we were the cliché,
But we carried on anyway.

Matt Nathanson - Come On Get Higher
excerpt:
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
I miss the sound of your voice
Loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet
Perfect words that you said

Madeleine Peyroux - I'm Alright
excerpt:
I asked the boy for a few kind words
He gave me a novel instead
But I'm all right
I'm all right

Colbie Caillat - Magic
excerpt:
You've got magic inside your finger tips
Its leaking out all over my skin
Everytime that I get close to you
Your making me weak with the way you
Look through those eyes

Dave Matthews - Grace is Gone
excerpt:
One drink to remember,
And another to forget.
How could I ever dream to find a love like this again?
One drink to remember, another to forget...

Now that you've read through, don't think that I'm making some comment on my "love life" or anything...
