Ok, not a great title, but I've been memed again. This one's good, too. Much better than the unpaid bills in my bag. She wants me to list seven songs I'm really into right now.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions your site along with your seven (for those of you who, like me can't count, that's all the fingers on one hand, plus two more) songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

Only seven, Cass? Ok, I'll try to pare it down.

1. As Long As You're Mine - from the Wicked Broadway soundtrack

Every moment, as long as you're mine
I wake up my body
And make up for lost time
Say there's no future for us as a pair?
And though I may know, I don't care
Just for this moment

2. I'm A Fool to Want You - Frank Sinatra (his immortal torch song for Ava Gardner, she of the lovely rack)

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
Then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say

Take me back, I love you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
Without you

3. Lay Lady Lay - Bob Dylan (I never used to like this song very much, but it has grown on me)

Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you

4. Do What You Gotta Do - Nina Simone (I just downloaded a ton of Nina Simone, and fell in love with this song, which I'd never heard before)

I guess they got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And man you've never lied to me
And the part of you they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me

5. Hit - The Sugarcubes (I love to dance to this. Bjork was cool before she was wearing waterfowl)

This wasn't supposed to happen
I was happy by myself
Accidentally you seduced me
I'm in love - again

I lie in my bed
Totally still
My eyes wide open
I'm in rapture
I don't believe this
I'm in love!

This wasn't supposed to happen
I've been hit with your charm
How could you do this to me?

6. Light as the Breeze - Leonard Cohen (very high on my list of songs I would like to make love while listening to)

Then she dances so graceful
and your heart's hard and hateful
and she's naked
but that's just a tease.
And you turn in disgust
from your hatred and from your love
and she comes to you
light as the breeze.

O baby I waited
so long for your kiss
for something to happen,
oh something like this.

There's blood on every bracelet
you can see it, you can taste it,
and it's Please baby
please baby please.
And she says, Drink deeply, pilgrim
but don't forget there's still a woman
beneath this
resplendent chemise.

So I knelt there at the delta,
at the alpha and the omega,
I knelt there like one who believes.
And the blessings come from heaven
and for something like a second
I'm cured and my heart
is at ease

7. Don't You Need - Melissa Etheridge (A perennial favorite. Great guitar. What do you mean we're at number 7 already?)

Don't you want to lay it down
And feel your skin against the ground
Don't you want to ride the storm
And then sleep inside the calm
Don you want to get that high
Don't you want to be satisfied
Well if you don't want it from me
Don't you need?

I tag no one.
