So I am a little behind....(and as an aside, even with the prep that this was coming, when I saw "The Singles Project" I thought it was going to be some sort of dating endeavor.)
Indigo Girls - Left Me a Fool - I always liked the tune as just a standard backgroud-noise ballad. A couple years ago I was dating someone who thought our relationship should be a secret; I would cause him great embarassment. Several lines in the song caught me at the time as particularly relevant, and it was the first time that I found myself really identifying with a song. It described my life and feelings perfectly. I found it resonating again recently as I thought of people who seem to have so much on the surface, and when you reach inside them, you find they are completely hollow.
John Cafferty - Heart's On Fire - Because no matter how tired / bored / cranky / slow / fat / generally malcontent I am, a little burst of Rokcy picks up my workout. I want to write an iPhone app so that I can have a little bout of Rocky with one click when I need it.
Keb' Mo' - One Friend - It's a simple melody and a simple message, without being trite or predictable. I can sing along with every word and think of a different friend each time.
Aaron Tippin - Kiss This - It's trite and trashy and I love it.
Indigo Girls - I'll Change - Relatively new in the rotation. Just resonates with me and reminds me of an old friend that I haven't treated particularly well over the years. Never been purposely bad to him, but through my ups and downs in life I've dropped him and ignored him when I didn't want to admit to things. He's always there when I bounce back, and he's always deserved better.
