I just downloaded three songs from iTunes. That may not sound like a big deal, but I hardly ever get stuff from iTunes. That just shows you how much I like these songs. If you’re a fan of So You Think You Can Dance, you’ll notice that all of these songs were featured in contemporary dance performances during Season 5. I think I enjoy the contemporary dances the best. Sigh. I wish I could dance like that.
Here are the songs and excerpts of the lyrics that I especially like. I have also included links to the videos of the dances which inspired me to download the songs.
“Falling Slowly” by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won
“If It Kills Me” by Jason Mraz
Well, all I really want to do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me, if it kills me
“Gravity” by Sara Barreilles
Set me free, leave me be.
I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be.
But you’re on to me and all over me.
truth be told I cry every single time I watch the "gravity" one.
by the way I blog stalked you from Heather Jordan
