A few of mine have already been guessed, but: #8 is "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You" by Colin Hay(?), and #17 is "Into the West" (sniff!) by Annie Lennox.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

and omg, i know, i got all sniffly just thinking about the lyrics to into the west. wah. (and look, i'll use an icon i never use any more just for that.)

[wildgreentide.livejournal.com]

I hadn't listened to it in a long time, and then it came up randomly in shuffle one night several weeks ago, and I had to just lie down on my bed and listen to the whole thing straight through (um, and cry). Oh, my HEART.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

and now i've decided since i'm alone tonight i should take my computer to bed and watch rotk until i fall asleep. i suddenly miss those movies in an achy kind of way.

Probably missing some bandom I'll be embarrassed about not catching. :) Sometimes I have a hard time connecting written lyrics to the aural memory of a song. Sometimes I just forget. *g*
