The songs that kick your tail ... every. time. These are the songs that arrest you, when you're doing something else, when they come on. These are the ones that make you shout with joy, shake your head with emotion and think about things past. The start of my list.

I was thinking about this yesterday...
There are a few songs that when they play, the music dives deep. It goes past the ears, the mind, the soul... and damn if it aint like when ya sneak a few hot minutes away with your man when you least expected it. Yesterday it was: Alice Coltrane - Journey In Satchidananda Funkadelic - Maggot Brain | |

Dunn & Bruce Street - Shout For Joy - 1982 One of my top anthems ! This feelgood track always gets me uplifted. Also the bass-synth and those subtle guitar-chops are very infectious. [Edited 5/10/09 22:03pm] | |

Hmmm...there are times when I think about certain songs and the affect that they have on me. There are random songs that will get me choked up, and I don't know why. Others are a given...some make you think about the conditions of the world, and how it hasn't changed like we had hoped, yet we hold onto the hope for a better day. Some have a reflective mood, while others take you to a place you don't really want to go, or stay long. It runs the gamut of optimistic to pessimistic. Also, a few songs remind me of childhood.
Flowers - The Emotions Inner City Blues - Marvin Gaye Knocks Me Off My Feet - Stevie Wonder If 60's Was 90's - Jimi Hendrix / The Beautiful People Emotion - Samantha Sang & Bee Gees (Olivia) Lost And Turned Out - The Whispers Darkness - The Police Waiting For That Day / You Can't Always Get What You Want - George Michael The Groove Line - Heatwave Woman - John Lennon Across The Universe - The Beatles Baby Come Back - Player Hurry Up This Way Again - The Stylistics If God Will Send His Angels - U2 More Than This - Roxy Music Young Hearts - Candi Staton Nights Over Egypt - The Jones Girls Be Grateful/ God Will Open Doors - Walter Hawkins "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

The God Lord Knows - The Four Tops.
Sign Your Name - TTD. Moonlight Feels Right - Starbuck. Peg - Steely Dan. Do It Again - Steely Dan. Feel Like Making Love - Roberta Flack. Have You Ever Seen The Rain - CCR. Optimistic - Sound Of Blackness No. 9 Dream - John Lennon. Cracker Box Palace - George Harrison. James - Billy Joel. These songs all have an affect on me, especially, "Have you ever seen the rain" and "James". I stop whatever it is that I am doing, when these songs come on.
