Five songs, One letter

[personal profile] sasha_feather gave me an F! Comment below if you would like a letter.

The Pogues - Fairytale of New York
If this song weren't so good, it would be overrated. But -- redemption, reconciliation, stumbling upon the great good things after all your options have run out. Is it any wonder I love it?

The White Stripes - Fell in Love With a Girl
I must be fine because my heart's still beating.
Sometimes you just need to dance around your apartment to a song with a great beat and some loud distorted guitars.

Wicked cast recording - For Good
This is one of those songs that makes me roll a Saving Throw Against Crying. It is rare to see stories that take friendship between women as seriously as they take romance. Wicked does, and I think it says something that the love song is one of the most boring songs in the musical, and this is one of the best.

The Arrogant Worms -- Forgive Us, We're Canadian
You too can be Canadian, if you follow this advice!

Belle and Sebastian -- Fox In the Snow
I need to hear this song every so often because it has things to tell me. My sister sent me the CD while I was in Japan and so far over my head studying classical Japanese and I needed to be told to take care of myself.
It's not as if they're paying you -- it's not as if it's fun, at least not anymore., and I stopped feeling guilty for all the manga translations that weren't getting done.

Thanks for sharing these! They look great and I am downloading. I think you have Fox in the snow on there twice though.

I love Fairytale of New York, and I love Belle & Sebastian! That song is great. My go-to is often The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner.
