I've been listening to Aaron Neville all day, and I'll probably continue to let this same CD play on repeat for the next few hours. I love him that much.



I really, really love this song. So much. His voice is so beautiful, and it makes me want to slow dance.

And, here are my weekly music uploads, for your listening pleasure. These are all really mellow songs that I've been into over the past few days. Hope you enjoy. :)

This song is awful, but the lyrics are making me LOL.

Click meeeeee!

*amused*

1. I am addicted to music of all kinds. I grew up in a musical household. My father and I would sing old Baptist hymns and Johnny Cash songs together. I remember being five years old and sitting on our porch swing with my dad and singing The Gambler by Kenny Rogers. When I was a wee one, there was a Junior Police talent show that my dad and the kids threw for charity. My mom made me a clover costume and my dad played his guitar and we sang a duet of I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover. Music was always something that I loved, and I grew up singing, in school choir and chapel and at church. It's always made me happy.

2. I love to read. I used to get teased alot when I was younger because I always had my nose in a book. The first book that I ever read alone, when I was four, was The Penguin That Hated The Cold. I read that book to Mason every day. :)

3. I'm clingy, and sometimes I'm afraid of pushing people away because of it. My life is pretty lonely, to be honest. I work and I come home and take care of Mason. I don't go out much, and I don't get asked on dates, so my love life is pretty much non-existent. I spend alot of time with Amy and Jimmie, but they're gone until June. So, I cling to my few RL friends and my LJ friends, and I cherish the relationships that I have with them. But sometimes I think that I can be too clingy....I think that it's because I've been through alot of loss in my life, and I'm afraid of losing more people who matter to me. So, I end up being annoying when I don't really mean to be. It all boils down to my insecurities, I think. And we all know how insecure I am. But, I'm working on that part of my life. I really need to start seeing the good about myself, because there's alot of good.

4. Sometimes, I rarely think about my dad. And other days, I can hardly function because I miss him so much. Is that normal?

5. I have never been in a healthy relationship. I always tend to pick the men that are the worst for me. It's become a really bad pattern. They always seem so great in the beginning, then they end up being cheating, abusive sociopaths. Why does this always happen?

B97 is playing all kinds of older music this weekend, along with the regular top 40. So far, I've heard:

Rob Base - It Takes Two
DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince - Summertime
Violent Femmes - Blister In The Sun
LFO - Summer Girls (RICHCRONINLOL)

I know what I'll be listening to all weekend.

*dances*

Since I'm awake and bored, I thought I'd post these a couple of days early. These are all older songs that I'm still really into...it's kind of a random mix, so I hope you enjoy! :)

Cee-Lo Green - Closet Freak
This song will never, ever get old. I still play this song and dance around my house on an almost daily basis. Cee-Lo = Amazing.

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Solly Remix)
Go ahead. make fun of me. This shit is fun to dance to. So, fuuuuck youuuuuu.

Goldfrapp - Twist
This is just a hot song. Period.

Lil' Kim - Don't Want Dick Tonight (Eat My Pussy Right)
I really love Lil' Kim. Always have. This is my favorite song that's she's done. When I go to karaoke, I always ask my friend who DJs to play this for me and me and my friends dance around the bar, because we're lame. :)

Korn - Coming Undone
I've never really been a big Korn fan. I have a few of their albums, but only because they were given to me. But this song is fucking greatness.

Tamia - Me
This has kinda become my anthem. It's got an amazing message, and I think it's a great song about female empowerment and putting yourself first and loving yourself.

I've decided to start making music posts once a week, where I post some of my favorite songs, for your downloading and listening pleasure, because I love you and stuff.

This weeks uploads:

Adele - Chasing Pavements
I actually just discovered this song tonight, while riding home from work with my friend Jimmie, and was absolutely blown away. I love love LOVE it. I think you will too.

Ladytron - Black Cat
This is the first track leaked from Ladytron's soon-to-be-released new album, Velocifero, which I am extremely excited about. Hopefully, I'll make it to the show at the House Of Blues next month, but I am beginning to doubt it....I'm so poor. *sniff*

Madonna - Incredible
This is one of the songs off of Madonna's latest album, Hard Candy, and it's probably my favorite, although it's been hard for me to choose because I like every song so much. In fact, I'll probably end up uploading most of her album over the next few weeks. :)

Justice - B.E.A.T. (from the D.A.N.C.E. EP)
I have heard so many different versions of this song, yet I love them all and never get tired of any of them. This is my most recent favorite. It's one of those songs that you can't help but dance to.

N.E.R.D. - Everyone Nose
N.E.R.D. never disappoints me.

Lindsay Lohan - Bossy
I really, really, REALLY want to hate this song. But I can't. Go ahead. Mock me.
