Re: TrueCrazyLion's Playlist

[TrueCrazyLion]

This song has a lot of great memories(Mainly of house parties) from my final year in high school, mainly from the middle part of the school year in November 2001-February 2002. It just came up in my recommendations too, which is a good reminder to post it here:



(Sum 41 - In Too Deep)

[TrueCrazyLion]

Although this song was before my time, it's haunted me a lot over the years, and it just came up in my YouTube recommendations too:



(Cher - The Shoop Shoop Song)

[TrueCrazyLion]

I was already aware of this song before The Ataris did this cover version, but their version brought the song alive for me when it got released in the autumn of 2003; I loved the power and energy of it, and this version of the song has had sentimental meaning for me ever since:



(The Ataris - The Boys Of Summer)

[TrueCrazyLion]

One of my favourite songs off Mika's debut album; I've always found it profoundly moving and emotive:



(Mika - Any Other World)

[TrueCrazyLion]

This is Gwen Stefani's most underrated single IMO, and when it came out I loved its energy so much I bought the album, just so I could listen to this track at will:



(Gwen Stefani - Wind It Up)

[TrueCrazyLion]

This song got released the same month I finished school, and although I immediately liked it, it's gained more sentimental meaning for me in the years since, as the lyrics have resonated with me more and more:



(Box Car Racer - I Feel So)

[TrueCrazyLion]

I immediately loved the energy and the abstract creative sound and lyrics of this song when it got released in June 2007, and I found it was a song I could actually lose myself in, as it captured my creative imagination:



(The White Stripes - Icky Thump)

[TrueCrazyLion]

I was very drawn to the overall melody of this song when it originally came out as a single in November 2002, as I found it very touching and moving:



(Travis - Love Will Come Through)

[TrueCrazyLion]

This is, simply, one of my favourite feelgood songs ever. I love everything about it:



(Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Zephyr Song)

[TrueCrazyLion]

This song got played in the 24H Asda when I was there the other night, and it reminded me how much I've liked it ever since it came out as a single; another feelgood song for me, but in a slightly more low-key way:



(Enrique Iglesias - Escape)

[TrueCrazyLion]

I loved this song(This version of it) when it came out as a single here in November 1998, and it helped characterise musically the vibes and emotions I was feeling at that personally significant time:



(Space - We Gotta Get Out Of This Place)

[TrueCrazyLion]

I was already a Divine Comedy fan before this song came out, but I've always loved it - not just for the overall sound(It's gotten into my head easily many times in the past), but because I found the lyrics amusing:



(The Divine Comedy - National Express)

[TrueCrazyLion]

I was immediately drawn to this song when it first came out as a single in October 2005, and it's had a lot of memories imprinted in it for me ever since then, of a time which was fresh and interesting for me:



(KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See)

[TrueCrazyLion]

It made an impression and got into my head very easily right from when it first got regular radio airplay in January 2004, and this song feels like it's been on a journey with me since then. It started getting played regularly on clubnights in my local Students' Union soon after it got released, so when I lived with a bunch of Erasmus students in my flat in Dundee Uni Halls between summer 2004 and summer 2005, this song became part of the soundtrack of our various parties and nights out. Concurrently with this, in summer 2004 I set up my new PC in my room in Halls which I'd recently moved into; it had a CD burner, and I also managed to download some then-current music onto the computer, which included this song. I started making up my own compilation CDs, and this song was on the first few I made.
Ever since then, it's had particularly strong memories imprinted in it for me of fun times:



(Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out)

[TrueCrazyLion]

I love this track simply because I've always found it extremely catchy, very eccentric and pretty amusing too:



(M.I.A. - Paper Planes)

[TrueCrazyLion]

My favourite Pussycat Dolls song by a long way, I really relate to its lyrics and vibe - and it's haunted me at various times too:



(Pussycat Dolls - I Hate This Part)

[TrueCrazyLion]

This track helped characterise the summer of 2008 for me, as I loved its overall sound and individuality - and I loved the message behind it too. Just recently it came up in my YouTube recommendations as well:



(The Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go)

[TrueCrazyLion]

I've always particularly liked this song, ever since I first listened to the Sheer Heart Attack album in full - after Killer Queen and Now I'm Here, it was the song off that album which made the biggest impression on me, and I loved its lyrics and overall sound:



(Queen - Lily Of The Valley)

[TrueCrazyLion]

This song just came up in my YouTube recommendations this morning, and it's one I've always particularly loved - especially for the dry humour in the lyrics, which my cynical side feels draws strong parallels with my hometown:



(Lily Allen - LDN)

[TrueCrazyLion]

This song struck a chord with me on a number of levels when it got released here in the early summer of 1999, and I loved its melody as well as the lyrics.
Over time it's also grown on me emotionally:



(TLC - Unpretty)
