Singalongs!

[urgencytobleed]

Here are my favorite, as I like to call them, "singalong" songs. Basically, any songs that have some sort of group vocals in the "hey, I just invited anyone who happened to be around to join in" vein. And hey, they're pretty fun for the listener to sing along to as well.

• Azure Ray - Other Than This World

I'll write you and in my dreams, I'll lay on your chest to muffle our screams and all the love I see, I'll hold it close to me in hopes that one day our secrets will be free.

• Bright Eyes - Make War

The truth is that gossip's as good as gospel in this town. You can save face but you won't ever save your soul and that's a fact.

• Camera Obscura - I Need All the Friends I Can Get

You can't see that you're just the same as all the stupid people you hate. I'm not saying I'm free from blame because I need all the friends I can get.

• CocoRosie - Japan

Life is like a rollercoaster: it does flips and throws you over. Board your ship that's going nowhere; if you stop, you'll end up somewhere.

• The Dresden Dolls - The Jeep Song

With every jeep I see, my broken heart still skips a beat. I guess it's just my stupid luck that all of Boston drives the same black fucking truck.

• The Elected - Don't Blow It

I'm that voice you're hearing in the dark, the one that knows your name. I'm that choice you're making with your heart and I'll take all the blame.

• Feist - Intuition

It's impossible to tell how important someone was and what you might have missed out on and how he might have changed it all and how you might have changed it all for him... did I miss out on you?

• The Grates - I Am Siam

I am Siam, oh, hear me roar; I am and no one's going to color me and nothing's going to be for free.

• Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins - Acid Tongue

To be lonely is a habit like smoking or taking drugs and I've quit them both but, man, was it rough. Now, I am tired. It just made me tired.

• Mates of State - Running Out

I have a hardened chain connected to my arms. Running out shouldn't pull apart. Let's trade this tired home for all it's worth in paper. Running out, you react.

• Mirah - Apples in the Trees

If you fight until you're free, you don't have to wait until you die.

• Neko Case - Wayfaring Stranger

I'm going there to see my mother. She said she'd meet me when I come. I'm just going over Jordan. I'm just going over home.

• The New Pornographers - The Bleeding Heart Show

That's when we grab a hold of whatever it is we fell into.

• Rilo Kiley - With Arms Outstretched

It's sixteen miles to the promised land and I promise you, I'm doing the best I can.

• Tilly and the Wall - The Ice Storm, Big Gust, and You

Well, I swear that you came in the form of rain that had frozen somewhere along its way through the evening sky, so the trees got tired and laid on the ground.

• Veda Hille - Road to Nowhere

Maybe you wonder where you are. I don't care. Here is where time is on our side, take us there.

• Whispertown2000 - Through a Hole

Laugh and scream, you split a seam. You mark your rut, sew it back up. Close your eyes, it's no surprise where you're going. Which way's the wind?
