"Call The Ships To Port" - Covenant
*shrug* I love Covenant! They create fabulous gothic, electronic, industrial music. And it makes me want to dance!
"Feelin’ Love" – Paula Cole
Maybe it’s Paula’s fantastic voice or lyrics that include lines like “you make me feel like the Amazon’s running between my thighs” and “You make me feel like I want to be a dumb blonde in a centrefold/ The girl next door/ And I would open the door and I'd be all wet/ With my tits soaking through this tiny little t-shirt that I'm wearing/ And you would open the door / And tie me up to the bed.”
Umm…Yes please...let’s do that! Any volunteers?
It also doesn’t hurt that the entire end of the song (which is two and a half minutes) seems to be one long, amazing orgasm that she is just trying to keep singing through.
"When we Oooo" – Janet Jackson
Yes I know. I’m so ashamed. But my dirty little secret doesn’t end with this song. Oh no. My betrayal goes much deeper. I really like Janet Jackson songs. I can’t help it! It’s not my fault! It’s just that I’m a very naughty girl and Janet sings to that side of me like no one else can.
"Jessie’s Girl" - Rick Springfield
I was 11-years-old when this was released. Rick Springfield's was the first “rock” concert I ever went to (and the only one with my mother). More than that I can’t offer, I just love this song! I believe it may be a sickness. They say admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
This is by no means the end of my list. It’s just the end of my list for now. It’s been emotionally draining and I need a lie down and a cup of tea.

Well, I have three of the songs on this list, A.L. ("...Hero", "Jessie's Girl", "Too Lost In You") with different songs by some of the other artists (Janet Jackson, Natasha..., Santana, Rob Thomas, Placebo). Not familiar with the rest though I had heard Sandi was #1 in the UK at the moment, the first #1 signed to a label primarily through her own internet promotion...the start of a trend methinks.
Thanks for sharing, A.L., I reckon you are about a year younger than me.

I'm 36 later this year so that would make you 36/37 right? What Placebo song has touched your soul?
Sandi Thom is the first to be signed because of her online presence that I'm aware of. She is very Joni Mitchell only with a modern twist. She won't be the last to make it this way though. There are so many talented artists out there. Lets hope it works for us writers too.

Well, A.L., I just turned 37 in the last month or so, so I guess we're about 18 months apart then.
Re. Placebo, though I knew it was in my collection, I had forgotten what it sounded like (it was part of your UK NOW compilation series that I have it from).
So I listened to it again (called "Nancy Boy"), and realised I had only listened to the beginning of it, and had switched it off for the reason that it had a real punk sound to it, which I've always hated, ever since it started in the 70's.
Listening to the lyrics now, I hadn't realised the contents of the song were of a somewhat sexual nature, but for me, music is key with a song, if I don't like the music, the lyrics could be wonderful and I still wont want to listen to the song lol. So, in other words, I guess their song didn't 'touch my soul', as you put it.
I honestly don't look for songs with sexual themes myself, being a guy, I don't find that side needs that much provoking really!!
Though I do have a bunch of songs that might 'touch my soul' in other ways. But I need to get some sleep right now lol.

I'm not very fond of Nancy Boy either.
Pure Morning on the other hand is the song that touched my soul, and there is nothing naughty about it.
Also I would like to note that I don't look for songs with a sexual theme either. They just seem to catch my attention more than other songs do. But then I'm a highly sexual person and most things that I do are an expression of that. And if some of the songs that have touched my soul are of a sexual in nature that would be why.
