day fifteen; a song that describes you

this is a strange one song challenge – but i accept.

title: echo beach
artist: martha and the muffins
album: metro music

yes it’s from the 80s. yes it’s a bit gooby. but it has THE BEST saxaphone solo and one of the catchiest choruses ever. it’s one of my all time favourite tracks.

i know it’s out of fashion and a trifle uncool
but i can’t help it, i’m a romantic fool
it’s a habit of mine to watch the sun go down
on echo beach, i watch the sun go down

from nine til five i have to spend my time at work
my job is very boring i’m an office clerk
the only thing that helps me pass the time away
is knowing i’ll be back at echo beach some day

oh that is me. romantic fool? absolutely.

day fourteen; a song that no-one expects you to love

i don’t usually get into the whole … folky thing. it’s not my scene. but for some infallible reason, i LOVE the tallest man on earth.

title: the wind
artist: the tallest man on earth
album: shallow grave

i’m not sure what it is, but after i listened to his album the wild hunt, it was one i kept coming back to over and over again.

same with shallow grave. the tracks are so simple but have such gorgeous hooks. and his voice! so gritty!

day thirteen; a song that is a guilty pleasure

oh the number of songs i could have included for this day. i will list some of them now, just so i can completely ruin any shred of credibility i once had.

fergie – london bridge
ke$ha – blow
nelly furtado – maneater

but my absolute guilty pleasure is this little gem of a track.

title: show me love
artist: robin s
album: show me love

an ABSOLUTE classic track. easily THE BEST electro hook in the world. this is the original from 1993, but i first heard it a few years back, when i first turned 18 and discovered the wonderful world of FLASHDANCE at HQ.

oh yes. this is a quality track – especially from the 90s.
