Seven Songs Meme

Although not technically tagged (or at least not that I've seen yet), I just couldn't resist this.

The rules:-List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to.

1. I Wish I was in New Orleans

Although this is the Tom Waits version I'm absolutely hooked on the Scarlett Johannson version. The album's one that grows on you, but now it has, I just can't stop listening. If you manage to hear my preferred version, you'll see why I love it; the music box feel to it is so delicate and gentle.

2. Boa Sorte/Good Luck (Vanessa da Mata & Ben Harper)

This one grabbed my while we were in Brasil and now her two albums are a rather prominent feature on my iPod.

3. You Know I'm No Good (Amy Winehouse)

It seems a shame to me that Amy Winehouse is such a wreck because she's such a talented singer. This is one of my favourite of her songs.

4. Say It Right (Nelly Furtado)

And this one just gets me grooving! The beat makes me feel like it's a summer evening, filled with heavy heat.

5. Tropa de Elite (Tihuana)

Another Brasilian one. If you haven't seen the film yet, it's a must. It's a great driving song, and driving is best in the summer!

6. Low (Flo Rida feat. T-Pain)

What can I say, it's from a great movie. Song ain't bad either.

7. Ai Ai Ai (Vanessa da Mata)

I really liked the original of this song on her first album, but I absolutely love this version. Of course it reminds me of driving around Salvador in the swealtering heat, which is always something good to think about when the weather turns as bad as it's been this weekend.
