Plus, my Fave Video Of The Year. And, a Spotify list of all the tunes.
But, first, a recap for all of you who prefer to have everything in a single post:
This video blew me away, and is my Fave Of The Year. Stay ’til the very end, you won’t regret it:
And, now, The Top Ten. Not notable merely for the killer songs in it, but for the absence of any white male rockers in the mix. Not the way I planned it, but I certainly don’t apologize for it:
10. ” Recognise your mistakes and I’ll let you back in.”
9. “How long do you have to live in a place Before you can call it “home?”
8. Prepare to be en-tranced.
7. “Is it insensitive for me to say ‘Get your shit together’ so I can love you?”
6. ” I look too good–to be alone”.

5. “Lighting one up like I used to, Dancing all alone like I used to, Giving it up like I used to, Falling in love I like I used to.”
4A/4B. My wife made a strong case that these should collectively be #1. But the videos are such a key element that I just couldn’t do it. Meaning, watch the vids back-to-back. If you don’t laugh, you’re on the wrong blog, and I don’t want to know you:
You, uh, might not want to touch the sista’s dreads…
3. “My body’s bound, but my soul will fly.”
2.
1. I occasionally imagined another song here in its place. But I found that this is where it belongs.
“She said, “Oh, dear, I can see you’ve had a rough few months
But this year, it’s gonna be a good one
I’ll count to three and tap your shoulder
We’re gonna put your heart back together
So all those little pieces they took from you
They’re coming back now.”
