Musical Meme

[gnomi]

This is a twist on the Letter Meme. Instead of coming up with ten items for a certain letter, you come up with five song titles for a certain letter and explain why you picked them. If interested then leave a comment. I'll give you a letter. You post this blurb in your journal along with your list.

cicirossi gave me L.

-- Leaving on a Jet Plane: I've always liked this song, from the time I was little. It's a little melancholy, but I like it anyway.

-- Luck be a Lady: Not my favorite song from the "Guys and Dolls" soundtrack, but the one that fit the letter. :-) I love that soundtrack and frequently have it on the mental radio.

-- Lonesome Road: I first heard it a cappella, and it's just one of those songs that's stuck with me.

-- Let's Get Away From It All: Again, first heard a cappella, and I like the idea of a song about GAFIAting.

-- Living in Fast Forward: A country song; Kenny Chesney, to be specific. The inspiration (in the other half of the brain) for the monolithic project eal and I are working on.

***

Songs rejected from the list, for various reasons:

-- L'cha Dodi
-- From "1776," The Lees of Old Virginia (I would've had to do it as "Lees of Old Virginia, The")
-- Because I'm odd, I considered and rejected (along the lines of the above) Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry," to be filed as "Laundry, Dirty."

Please choose a letter that is within the Japanese phonetic set as most of the songs I know are Japanese... (or showtunes) :----D
