1. If you'd like to play along, reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. You then list (and upload or link to the video, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Then, as I'm doing here, you'll post the list to your journal with the instructions.
Chris gave me the letter "g"
I'm notlinking to videos, because, for some reason (probably my own stupidity) I'm not able to.
1. Ghost by the Indigo Girls
This is probably my favorite Indigo Girls song. It's beautiful and heartbreaking. The singer is haunted by this former love, who has moved on, even though the singer has not. It;s interesting: this, Galileo and Love Will Come to You are all among my favorite Indigo Girls songs. They're all on the CD Rites of Passage which isn't their best album.
2. Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac
One of the best breakup songs out there. It's on their masterwork, Rumors.
3. Go West by The Pet Shop Boys
Yes, this is a cover of a Village People song. The Pet Shop Boys took a dance tune and turned it into something wistful and romantic in its way. It's one of those songs I listen to when I'm feeling down and don't want to wallow. (Unlike, say, the aforementioned Ghost, which I listen to when I want to wallow in my bad mood.)
4. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, by Elton John
I just love this song, even though I didn't really understand the lyrics. Elton's diction is... problematic. The feeling of being trapped and just wanting to run away that is the center of this song is something I totally relate to, having felt that way many times when I was younger.
Not so much now. Also, because it;s worth mentioning, the CD Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is amazing.
5. Grace in Gravity by The Story
I just think this is a beautiful song.

Rumors is such a brilliant album.
For you... the letter "b".
(Also: Album version or Ming's Gone West remix? Inquiring minds, yadda de yadda.)
I was talking about the album version, but I love Ming's Gone West Remix, too.
Yet, Ghost. The first time I heard Ghost, I loved it.
