December 16, 200618 yr Author 84. Lemar - It's Not That Easy XziQOgChFrA "It's Not That Easy" was the first single taken from British R&B singer Lemar's third album The Truth About Love. Before the single's release, "It's Not That Easy" made the top 3 of the UK radio airplay chart and the top 10 of the TV airplay chart. The week prior to the single's physical release, "It's Not That Easy" entered the top 75 at #41 on downloads alone. In its second week on the chart, once the physical CD and vinyl formats were in store, the single launched Lemar back into the top ten of the UK singles chart, after his former single "Don't Give It Up" peaked outside the top twenty. "It's Not That Easy" peaked at #7. This Al Green-esque track is the first, but not the highest TV Reality act in my countdown.
December 16, 200618 yr Author 83. Regina Spektor - Fidelity 4NBArHgZntE Regina Spektor (Russian: Регина Спектор) (born February 18, 1980) is a Russian-born American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered on New York City's East Village. Spektor's musical style has drawn many comparisons to fellow singer-pianists Fiona Apple and Tori Amos. However, Spektor has stated that she works hard to ensure that each of her songs has its own musical style, rather than trying to develop a distinctive style for her music as a whole. She has become a well-known College Radio artist and this single peaked at USA#103 taken from her 4th album "Begin To Hope". Lyrics: (Shake it up) I never loved nobody fully Always one foot on the ground And by protecting my heart truly I got lost in the sounds I hear in my mind All these voices I hear in my mind all these words I hear in my mind all this music And it breaks my heart And it breaks my heart And it breaks my heart It breaks my heart And suppose I never met you Suppose we never fell in love Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft Suppose I never ever saw you Suppose we never ever called Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall Just to break my fall Just to break my fall Break my fall Break my fall All my friends say that of course its gonna get better Gonna get better Better better better better Better better better I never love nobody fully Always one foot on the ground And by protecting by heart truly I got lost In the sounds I hear in my mind All these voices I hear in my mind all these words I hear in my mind All this music And it breaks my heart It breaks my heart Breaks my Heart Breaks my heart
December 16, 200618 yr Author 82. Morrissey - You Have Killed Me RRKxUgi2AVc "You Have Killed Me" is the first single from the album Ringleader of the Tormentors by Morrissey. The single was released on March 27, 2006 and debuted at UK#3. The title track was written by Morrissey and Jesse Tobias. Morrissey said it would showcase the "marked difference in sound" brought about by the new influence of Tobias on Morrissey's work while Billboard magazine described it as a "simple, effective first single." The song is a bizarre reference to Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1961 film, Accattone, about prostitution in the slums of Rome, as is shown in the first two lines of the lyrics ("Pasolini is me"/"Accattone you’ll be"). There is much speculation as to the meaning of this quote. Some fans believe that it is merely an example on Rome's influence on Morrissey whereas some believe that it is a reference to the loss of virginity, since Accattone is Pasolini's first film. Lyrics: Pasolini is me 'Accattone' you'll be I entered nothing and nothing entered me 'Til you came with the key And you did your best but As I live and breathe You have killed me You have killed me Yes I walk around somehow But you have killed me You have killed me Piazza Cavour, what's my life for? Visconti is me Magnani you'll never be I entered nothing and nothing entered me 'Til you came with the key And you did your best but As I live and breathe You have killed me You have killed me Yes, I walk around somehow But you have killed me You have killed me Who am I that I come to be here?.. As I live and breathe You have killed me You have killed me Yes I walk around somehow But you have killed me You have killed me And there is no point saying this again There is no point saying this again But I forgive you, I forgive you Always I do forgive you
December 16, 200618 yr Author 81. A-ha - Analogue EaxDnlF5_qQ Single and album track "Analogue (All I Want)" was re-recorded and re-written from the first version produced for the album. "Minor Key Sonata" was the original version, and (like the rest of the album) was produced by Martin Terefe and mixed by Flood. Max Martin was brought in to turn "Minor Key Sonata (Analogue)" into a more commercially-friendly product - with a less surreal lyric, and catchier chorus. "Analogue (All I Want)" became a hit in the UK, and is the only track on the album not produced by Terefe. It made UK#10 at the end of January 2006. Lyrics: Come back, my darling one I'm calling on you The road ahead is long And I must warn you I wonder Where did she go? If I failed you I tell you right now All I want you to know; I love you All I need is the time to show you Come back, my fallen son Don't let them fool you Cos when the day is done They'll never move you Lay down your senseless pride (Got more than you) Put out your mournful tones I tell you right now All I want you to know; I love you All I need is the time to show you how I feel Feel (Lay down your senseless pride You travelled once too often, yeah) I tell you right now All I want you to know; I love you All I need is the time to show you how I feel All I want you to know I love you All I need is the time to show you how I feel (Come back, my analogue I hardly knew ya The high end sloping off A thing of beauty Take hold, my little ones My minor key sonatas Show forth your looping grace
December 16, 200618 yr A'ha was one of my early #1s of this year, a great comeback single from them, seems they never had a follow up after that
December 16, 200618 yr Author 80. Killers - When You Were Young ucqkH1IgLKc "When You Were Young" is the first single from The Killers' sophomore album, Sam's Town (released October 3 in the United States, and October 2 in the United Kingdom). The song displays the band's move towards a more "American" musical style, as it is part of an album that was supposedly heavily influenced by the music of Bruce Springsteen. It has proven to be one of their most successful singles, so far peaking at # 14 on the U.S. Hot 100 (only Mr. Brightside peaked higher on this chart at #10 in 2004), as well as their only number 1 to date on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks. It is also their highest charting single to date in the UK and Australia, peaking at number 2 and 10 respectively. The song was nominated for the 2007 Grammy Award for "Best Rock Song", and the single's video received a nomination in the category of "Best Short Form Music Video". Lyrics: You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now Here he comes He doesnt look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentleman Like you imagined When you were young Can we climb this mountain I dont know Higher now than ever before I know we can make it if we take it slow Let's take it easy Easy now Watch it go We're burning down the highway skyline On the back of a hurricane That started turning When you were young When you were young And sometimes you close your eyes And see the place where you used to live When you were young They say the devil's water It ain't so sweet You dont have to drink right now But you can dip your feet Every once in a little while You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now Here he comes He doesnt look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentleman Like you imagined When you were young (talks like a gentleman) (like you imagined) When you were young I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus He doesnt look a thing like Jesus But more than you'll ever know
December 16, 200618 yr Author 79. Belle and Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue yxoyKo50ZzQ "The Blues Are Still Blue" was the second single lifted from the Belle & Sebastian's The Life Pursuit. The track was released in April 2006 on Rough Trade Records, and is produced by Tony Hoffer. The single reached #25 in the UK singles chart. Single Review: 'The Blues Are Still Blue' sounds like a great pop record that never was from, oooh, 1973; a little bit T-Rex, a little bit Bowie, maybe even a little bit Cockney Rebel, but actually not quite like any of the above. There's an easy clubbable kind of beat that rolls along with a swaggering insouciance, while Stuart Murdoch adopts an atypically sexy purr to deliver a neat pop meditation on doing your laundry, and how getting your whites and coloureds mixed up is a little like the muddle created when boys and girls get together. The only thing, it seems, you can effectively rely upon is that the blues will resolutely remain the blues. Along the way, over its four brief minutes, we meet a suitably Murdochian cast of outsider hipsters, feisty girls, morally questing teens and can't-be-bothered cleversticks. All of whom come together to make 'the Blues Are Still Blue' a classic Belle And Sebastian single, pegged around their biggest and catchiest chorus this side of the Millennium.

December 16, 200618 yr Author 77. Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces QdsDwVxmjZA Smiley Faces" is a song by Gnarls Barkley and is featured on their debut album, St. Elsewhere. It was released 17 July 2006 as the second single from that album in the United Kingdom. In the music video, a music historian (played by Dennis Hopper) and an A&R executive (played by Dean Stockwell) are interviewed about whether or not Gnarls Barkley (the person) exists and if he's behind the music scene. The video shows musical acts and cultural events from the 1920s to the 1990s, with Cee-Lo and producer Danger Mouse in the background. The effect is similar to that of Woody Allen editing himself into archival film footage in Zelig. The song entered the UK Official Download Chart on 3 May 2006 at number 152 and is climbed the chart until its peak at number 12 on 9 August 2006. It then entered the UK Singles Chart on July 16, 2006 at number 23 based on download sales alone, climbing to number 10 after the physical release was available. It was the follow up to Crazy and is the only Gnarls Barkley track to appear in my countdown. Lyrics: What did you do? What did you say? Did you walk - or did you run away? Where are you now? Where have you been? Did you go alone - or did you bring a friend? I need to know this - cause I notice when you're smilin' Out in the sun havin' fun and you're feelin' free And I can tell you know how hard this life can be But you keep on smiley for me What went right? What went wrong? Was it the story - or was it the song? Was it overnight - or did it take you long? Was knowing your weakness what made you strong? Or all the above - oh how I love to see you smilin' And oh yeah - take a little pain just in case You need something warm to embrace To help you put on a smiley face Hey, put on a smiley face Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt Here's a summary of somethin' that you could smile about: Say for instance, my girlfriend she bugs me all the time But the irony of it all is that she loves me all the time I want to be you - whenever I see you smilin' Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do Your worries and fears become your friends And they end up smiley at you Put on a smiley face

December 16, 200618 yr Author 76. James Morrison - You Give Me Something MlbwXtCBEus "You Give Me Something" is the first single by British singer James Morrison, which was released on July 16, 2006 (peaked at UK#5). The song is featured on his debut album, Undiscovered, which was released on July 31, 2006. When James Morrison was in New Zealand, and appeared on the New Zealand Idol show, the two finalists asked Morrison what the meaning behind the song was, and Morrison said that it was intended to be a 'harsh love song', and the lyrics mean that the protagonist of the song does not love the person as much as she loves him, but is willing to give the relationship a try. Single Review: There's something special about James Morrison…He looks like a youthful Joe Cocker, and has a voice that starts arguments over whether he sounds more like Al Green or Otis Redding. Whatever, his voice is incredible, soulful and soothing. The young fella from Rugbys been alive for just 21 years but his voice sounds like its been around for generations. His first single You Give Me Something will be released on July 17th followed by his debut album Undiscovered two weeks later on July 31st. You Give Me Something is a spellbinding, bittersweet, bluesy-soul song about concealing true emotions in the early stages of a relationship, played mellowingly through an acoustic guitar and sung with a power and character of someone twice his age.
December 16, 200618 yr Author 75. Will Young - Who Am I oZXJMGS3VAk "Who Am I" is a popular song co-written by songwriter and ex-Brother Beyond musician Eg White, and singer Lucie Silvas. It was recorded by Will Young and featured on his third album, Keep On. The track was released as a single on 24 April 2006. The song entered the UK Official Download Chart on 12 April 2006 due to individual album tracks being available to download. It then entered the UK Singles Chart on 23 April at number 47 based on download sales alone. The following week it had moved up to number 11, after the physical release had become available. It is Young's first single to fail to reach the top 5 in the UK. "Who Am I" was shortlisted for the Popjustice £20 Music Prize in 2006. Single Review: In answer to his question, Will Young is already one of pop's survivors. But the lyrics of this song also suggest he's a determinedly single-minded individual too. This third single from Keep On is one of that excellent pop record's syrupy R&B-lite love ballads. Musically it starts simply, showcasing Will's voice, and builds inexorably to a lighters-aloft chorus replete with strings. Lyrically though it's weepily intriguing. An intelligent examination of a relationship's end laced with regret, in it Will tells (presumably) his ex that number one comes first. "I always found a reason why I never put you first," he laments. "Who am I to tell you that I would never let you down... Who am I to tell you I'll always catch you when you fall? I wouldn't be myself at all." This declaration of single-mindedness must come like a hammer blow to whoever it was written about. Pity the poor boy - even Will's smile surely wouldn't console him. And there was everybody's mother thinking Will was such a nice boy. Whodathunk?

December 16, 200618 yr Author 70. Jewel - Goodbye Alice In Wonderland Y-V7diWWlVg Goodbye Alice In Wonderland was a test promo single released from the same titled album. The song was (and video) released to radio early January 2006. Promotional singles were sent out to radio stations and television stations. However, the song was never picked up by the radio (some view this as intentional) therefore never charting within the US. The single was only released in the US (USA#80). Some people also view the single as a double-A side to the single Again and Again due to the fact that promo singles were sent out containing both tracks, Goodbye Alice In Wonderland and Again and Again. Lyrics: Its four in the afternoon I'm on a flight leaving LA Trying to think about my life My youth scattered along the highway Hotel rooms in headlights I've made a living with a song guitar as my companion Wanting desperately to be belong Fame is filled with spoiled children They grow fat on fantasy I guess that's why I'm leaving I crave reality So goodbye Alice in Wonderland Goodbye yellow brick road There is a difference between dreaming and pretending I did not find paradise It was only a reflection Of my lonely mind wanting whats been missing in my life I'm embarassed to say The rest is a rock and roll cliche I hit the bottom when i reached the top but i never knew it was you Who was breaking my heart I thought you had to love me But you did not Yes, a heart can hallucinate If its completely starved for love Can even turn monsters Angels from above you forged my love just like a weapon and turned it against me like a knife you broke my last heart string you opened up my eyes So goodbye Alice in Wonderland Goodbye yellow brick road There is a difference between dreaming and pretending That was not love in your eyes It was only a reflection Of my lonely mind searching for whats been missing in my life And growing up is not the absence of dreaming Its being able to understand the difference between The ones you can hold and the ones that you've been sold Dreaming is a good thing Cause it brings new things to life Pretending is an ending That perpetuates a lie Forgetting what you are Seeing for what you've been told Truth is stranger than fiction This is my chance to get it right and life is much better Without all of those pretty lies So goodbye Alice in Wonderland and you can keep your yellow brick road There is a difference between dreaming and pretending these are not tears in my eyes they are only a reflection Of my lonely mind finding they are only a reflection Of my lonely mind finding i found whats missing in my life
