Hello and welcome!

I live in Montreal, Quebec, and my first language is French.

May I insist on the fact that I love getting comments?

Nostalgic/contemplative tunes

Sometimes I let myself drift into sweet nostalgia... And during these times only a certain type of atmospheric-bordering-on-the-verge-of-sad music will do. The universes and subtext contained into each of these just plainly kills me.

The Stone Roses - I wanna be adored

I don't have to sell my soul; he's already in me...

Coldplay - Don't panic

We live in a beautiful world...
All that I know
There's nothing here to run from
Coz' yeah, everybody here
Has got somebody to lean on

+44 - A little death

Fall asleep with the windows open
Come to me with the worst you've said and done
You'll close your eyes and see me
A little death makes life more meaningful
I stand no chance at all

Oasis - Rockin Chair (Not super quality, but nothing else is available)

I'm older than I wish to be
This town holds no more for me
All my life, I tried to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down, I think you're rude
All my life, I tried to make a better day
It's harder now being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories to come and play
It's harder now sitting there
Rocking in your rocking chair
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there

(Say what you will. These crazy Gallagher brothers really had a knack for lyrics.)

I absolutely understand what you mean. And I so agree with you about the Gallaghers! Also I thought I was one of the only ones who liked +44 :)
