I am going to start doing something special on Wednesday. There will be a Top 10 list of some kind, every week. I do Flashback Friday and I have enjoyed it, so I thought, why not do something special for Wedneday, also known as "Hump Day"? Getting over the hump with a fun list sounds good to me.
For my 1st official Hump Day 10, I am going to name the Top 10 love songs that don't make me throw up. I'm not even claiming that they are all-time favorites or that there aren't others that make the list....but these don't make me sick.
When I was a little girl, I used to scrunch up into a ball and feel nauseated when someone made me talk about my feelings. I love to talk, and I have learned to talk about my feelings, but when I was a kid it was like pulling teeth. I hated when my mom asked me how I felt about things. I would say "Nothing! I feel nothing at all!" I had to go to a child psychologist to talk about my parents' divorce and many times I wouldn't say anything at all, out of spite. I hated when my mom made me go. So back to love songs....some of them make me sick. Some are so mushy that they give me the creepy crawlies. Then there are some that just hit the spot....right through my heart. By the way, they are not all happy.
10. I Can't Make you Love Me, Bonnie Rait-This song is so good. It's torturous. It's probably the most realistic love song ever. If we all mutually loved each other, we wouldn't ever have problems. How many times are you chasing someone who is chasing someone else? And the person they are chasing is probably chasing someone else. Very rarely do two people feel entirely mutual in their feelings for each other. I think about all of the guys who got caught in the friend zone who had feelings for me...now I feel really bad about that. That sucks. Thanks, Bonnie Rait for making me feel bad.

9. These Arms of Mine, Otis Redding-Awwww. Love Otis.

8. Secret, Maroon 5-Ok, so he doesn't know her, but he wants to. It may not be a lovey dovey mushy love song, but it's about sweaty, steamy, passionate car sex. It's a great song.

7. The Scientist, Coldplay-This is the saddest song, but so sweet. Think of all of the things you wish you could take back in a relationship. And you can't. It's a bitch.

6. Green Eyes, Coldplay-When I was in high school I used to complain that there weren't any songs about green eyes. We have a Brown-Eyed Girl, there are a lot of songs about blue eyes, but none about green. I have green eyes, so I love this song. Thanks, Coldplay for showin' love to the green-eyed girls! By the way, they are actually the most rare, besides purple. OMG! Read the comments on this link. So cute!!! One guy says "If my girl's eyes were any greener, I'd smoke 'em." hahahaha! That's awesome.

5. All I want is You, U2-I don't even have words for how much I love this song. It was one of those songs that just, ugh, it never gets old. I love love love it. By the way, in plays over one of the best scenes ever in a movie, Reality Bites. Thank you, Bono.

4. Love Song, The Cure-It's simple and it's sweet. I love it. Always will.

3. In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel-I don't think I could ever really get tired of this one.

2. Mine, Taylor Swift-The reason that this song is on my list is because it always makes me tear up. The reason is because it's like me; it is written as I would have written it...I have said these exact words all my life. When I was a teenager and heard that stupid Shania Twain song "Looks like we made it," I said "Ummmm, you can't sing that unless you're on your death bed because everyone gets divorced. So unless you are going to die, don't sing that." Even as I post this link and I listen to it, I have goosebumps because it hits my heart so hard. This guy (in the song) made this girl believe that someone could love her forever, and to someone who is very broken and scared of love, that's so important. Now if that person who promised to take care of you hurts you, then I don't know what happens to you. Maybe you never trust again?

1. By Your Side, Sade-Ahhhhhh........this is how love should be defined in the dictionary.
