Ten Favorite Songs Meme

I was assigned the letter “H” by Her Hautiness, [livejournal.com profile] theholyinnocent, so in no particular order:

1. Hallelujah- Rufus Wainwright. I first heard this song on The West Wing when the secret service agent played by Mark Harmon was killed. I also like the versions as performed by Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, and Imogen Heap, but this version from the Shrek soundtrack has always been my favorite.

2. Hands-Jewel. “In the end, only kindness matters” is a credo we should all live by. There is also a wonderful Janet Frasier video made with this song.

3. Happy Home- Antigone Rising. A wonderful song about unrequited love.

4. Harper Valley PTA- Jeannie C. Riley, Martina McBride (Dersperate Housewives Soundtrack). Nothing like a smalltown smackdown to get the blood pumping. I still remember the movie they made, I believe it starred Barbara Eden. There was a series a few years later that only lasted one year.

5. Hazard- Richard Marx. “I swear I left her by the river, I swear I left her safe and sound, I need to make it to the river, and leave this old Nebraska town.” I was into the angst before it was cool!

6. Heaven Is A Place on Earth- Belinda Carlisle. 1980’s girl band “The Go Go’s” Nuff said.

7. Helensez- I have no idea who made this so if you do, please let me know so I can credit them properly. An amusing little ditty featuring my favorite Scottish McMidget, Helen Stewart.

8. Here Without You (acoustic)-3 Doors Down. I got hooked on this song when I watched an Alex/Olivia video. Perfect post-“Loss” angst-o-rama.

9. A Home- Dixie Chicks. Such a haunting song about regretting not taking a chance on love. “Now everyday I wake again in a house that might have been a home.”

10. Hold My Hand- Hootie and the Blowfish. This song holds so many pre-Mrs. CB memories of pain (back-my first round of physical therapy) and angst (unrequited love for a straight girl).

Pretty much everyone on my flist has done this, but if you haven’t, and you want a letter, let me know in the comments.

Also, if anyone is interested in the songs, I can upload them tonight when I get home from The Job.

I like my new title! I think I shall insist on Mrs. THI calling me this as well. You have a pretty balanced mix here, I say.

Harper Valley PTA

Oh hell yes! Love it. I remember the movie too, and yes, it was Barbara Eden. And you know I love "Heaven is a Place on Earth."

Great Choices, baby. I have an Antigone Rising song on mine as well.

And I know, full well, that you cannot have an "H" list without Hazard.

Hallelujah
