I'M SUCH A FOOL FOR YOU

I’m going to step away from the satrad channel survey for a bit. I’ll probably revisit at some point, considering that I haven’t even covered a bunch of my main presets.

Instead, in honor of yesterday’s tangent, I’m going to sail the guilty-pleasure seas.

Each day I will go off in search of a song that, for one reason or another, I’m embarrassed to admit I love, like, or perhaps just tolerate…

I Could Be Happy—Altered Images

Yesterday’s Lulu confession served to expose a soft spot, and I’ll allow today’s admission to elaborate further.

I am an out and out sucker for the winsome and the wistful.

The weird thing is that it is a definable subset, consisting of the following songs:

To Sir With Love—Lulu
I Could Be Happy—Altered Images
Fade Into You—Mazzy Star
Here’s Where the Story Ends—Sundays
Linger—The Cranberries

These five songs—and these five songs only, to date— target the exact same longitude and latitude on my emotional map.

The only moment that imperils things for I Could Be Happy is when an ever-so-brief hint of Martha Davis from The Motels creeps into Clare Grogan’s vocals.
