    “Only One Week”–The Honorary Title; actually a lot of songs by them do that to me.

    These are all good songs, regardless of what they do to me; music moves me, a lot.

  • So as already established, I love good music.  Well, I noticed a word commonly used in songs that isn’t the word “love”, “sad”, or many of the commonly accepted immoral things (in olden-day standards) the word:

    SUN!

    [In the forms of sunset etc. too]. So, I have here a list of sun-songs, if you’d like to add to the list =] (not to mention most of them are really good songs..)
