firthgalYou know, I typically mock boybands (because I'm a buzzkill like that), and yet I just spent like two hours on YouTube watching Il Divo videos (and Il Divo is basically a boyband for middle-aged housewives). But they make it look so classy!
See? And they sing Amazing Grace accompanied by bagpipes! And they sing All by Myself in Spanish! And they sing ABBA songs in some language that I'm not sure of! And look, Hallelujah in Spanish! I find the Spanish dude strangely alluring, by the way.

Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Name 5 songs you love starting with that letter.
1. Learning to Live Again - Garth Brooks
This has been one of my absolute favorites from the time I was 9. I just really love the story, how he starts out so depressed and lonely and unsure of himself, but by the end of the song he's in this place of enthusiastic hope, and it's kind of beautiful. I was always sad that this song never got a proper video (not that I don't appreciate extreme closeups of Garth's lips, mind you, and his ridiculously dramatic facial expressions that never fail to make me laugh, but that vid is from the boxset that he released a couple of years ago, and the song is from 1992, I think).
2. Love - Sugarland
AAAAAAAAAH, SUGARLAND!!!!!!! I'M GOING TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT SOON, AAAAAAH! OMG, I love them. And this song! I say it's loooooooooooooooooooooooooove.
3. Little Red Rodeo - Phil Vassar (or Collin Raye. Collin was the original singer, but Phil's the writer. It was always one of my top favorite Collin songs, so, it's no wonder that I fell in love with Phil later. Actually, I've loved a lot of Phil's songs for years that were recorded by other artists. Anyway, technically speaking, Collin's the better singer, but I have such a ridiculous fondness for Phil that I had to post his version)
4. Lollipop - Mika
I have no idea why I love this song so much, I just do.
5. Long Line of Losers - Montgomery Gentry
Because only these guys can make you feel proud of being a loser! I love these dudes. They're very reminiscent of the outlaws, particularly Hank Williams Jr.

Day 09 - The most believable relationship?
Marshall and Lily Erikson, aka the cutest couple to ever grace television. They manage to be romantic in this very understated, real way that is simply beautiful to watch. They're responsible for getting me so wrapped up in seasons 1 and 2 of HIMYM (and oh man did I love their wedding episode, particularly the bit where Lily barfs into a trashcan and Marshall looks at her so fondly as he says "That's my wife." ♥).
