Sex Songs

I didn't actually intend to do this (write this up on my blog), but it suddenly became a point of much thought. And seeing as I had Em to venture into this project with, it became a little funner than it otherwise would've been alone.
So here you are, piggy-backing Joe: THE TOP ELEVEN LIST (of songs to usho usho to)
("And you're the expert?" "Wow! This must be all your years and years of experience speaking, Flo!" There. I said it for you, now shut up.)

11. Oh God, I Thank Thee (Angelite)
Regardless of the fact that so many people say this style is old...it still ignites. It really does. Cesco's music has been the brunt of so much criticism on the behalf of those many generous people who still can't seem to get over loudly critiquing Family music. But if there's anything to be said about the music it's that it is PASSIONATE. Fewf.
10. Ease It All (Heat)
It's got that steady rhythm. Don't know what to say exactly, but this song has always held it all for me. The kind of song you'd hear playing behind a passionate scene in a movie. Yeeeowch.
9. Beyond Compare (Embrace)
This song has been a favorite of mine for so many reasons. It is actually the only song that I've ever been able to pin as THE favorite at any time in my entire life. I don't know if I'd be able to say that for it now, since there are so many wonderful songs come out since then, and yet it's sticking as one of the best. Securing its place on this list, however, has got to be the fact that it's a loving Jesus song, with just enough power to make you move and softness to make you stop.
8. Sun of My Soul (Break Away)
The soft vocals, the gently lulling melody, the tingling of the guitar...
7. Oh, Pharisee (Alternative Man)
Niiiiiice...easy does it.
6. Follow On (Follow On)
I've always loved this song--the human qualities--that sort of tangible rasp versus the trembling softness of the music--the guitar is so deliciously whiny!!!
5. Diamond in the Rough (Heat)
Okay, I know I'm going to creep out certain people by saying this, but Vas's voice has got that...grating sort of...sexiness. Well, not always. But in this song especially. Thank you Jesus!!!
4. His Rays (Break Away)
Oh My God. NICE SONG!!! Setting aside the fact that I've always loved the way this song makes many people squirm...and it's just...such a NAKED song (!!!), it really reaches those...places.
3. Make My Heart Your Home (Oasis of Love)
Beautiful. Male and Female vocals entertwining throughout one of those melodies that can only be described as...carressing.
2. Choice in the Garden (Fulfillment)
I have no words. The only reason why this song didn't make it to #1 is because it has no vocalist. And...that would be cheating, because it's much easier to make a beautiful song with no voice issue. But this song...moves me...badly. The melody is so emotional. Not quite sad, but not quite happy. A healthy kind of happiness, like after a long hard journey through Middle Earth--finally making it to the other side of the mountains where you can live in peace forever. There's still that note of longing though--maybe the memory of things you left behind or the people who died to save your life. Stuff like that. That whole pot of fantastic emotions that you only feel watching other peoples' lives in movies. And then you hear this song and you feel like you're finally living these feelings yourself. Lifted on the wings of a thousand mixed emotions.
1. You Mean All the World To Me (Love Is the Sweetest Thing)
This song has been an on and off favorite, and the only reason it didn't stay a solid favorite forever is because I get bored of it after listening to it a million times a day, and then try to slip another song into the favorite place above it...but it never works out. Me and this song, we are meant to be.

MOST HONORABLE MENTION: This didn't fit anywhere on my top 11 list because it's just way too much of an "it-goes-without-saying"...but the ENTIRE Fulfilment and Fields of Freedom AKA Michael Piano's instrumentals. Yesssssirrreee.

The thought creeps me out:
Japanese songs
Songs that remind me of something sad or someone I miss (i.e. slow songs sung by my sister, the song "These Kinds of Questions" that reminds me of my longtime roomie and dear dear friend.)
Songs about death
(I was asked by someone (specifically, this one) if, whilst I was in the heat of the act, a song came on with one of my brothers singing, would I get creeped out?
The answer is no. I don't see what the problem is. But I'm pretty sure I can speak for all of my brothers when I say that if the situation were reversed, they would get creeped out. I have no idea why, and it really isn't fair.
Actually, then again, if I think about it, the sort of song that would creep me out the most is a song with ME singing. Wow. Maybe I just have one of those emotionally disturbing voices that people cannot think erotic thoughts to. Ouch.)

I've tried really hard not to be distracted by the thoughts of certain system songs that make me go "ahhhhh yummy yummy" when I think about them. So for the purpose of being 110% I've listed only Family songs. AHHH HALLELUJAH.

Something else I realized: All my favorite sex songs are sung by...well...men. Is this because I'm a female? Anyone care to enlighten me?
