Stuck on repeat: "Star Witness," by Neko Case. I love Neko's lyrics. She is an author in song.
Karaoke special: "Magic Man," by Heart. All things Heart are good for singing loudly with a tequila soda in hand.
For singing in the shower: "Babooshka," by Kate Bush. What can I say? "Babooshka" sounds really good in the shower. Such cool words.
Life's theme song: "Lilywhite," by Cat Stevens. I have such great admiration for Cat Stevens. He's a fascinating man, and he wrote music that profoundly moves me. This is one of his many songs I cannot live without.
Sound of seduction: "Do You Love Me?" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. When he asks, "Do you love me?"my heart swoons. And when he croons "jingle jangle,"it's so foxy—a declaration of mad and furious love.
Always gets me dancing: "Proud Mary," by Tina Turner. Tina Turner is a legend, full stop.
To Zen out: "Five String Serenade," by Mazzy Star. It's a rare Love cover, and Love is another band I enjoy. It feels like a Sunday to me.
Guilty pleasure: "Toxic," by Britney Spears. "I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic"—that lyric alone had me!
Unexpected favorite: "Bennie and the Jets," by Elton John. I love Elton John! A few years ago I had the privilege of going on tour with a group of musicians opening for him and Leon Russell. My son, Henry, and I share a love of this song.
Road-tripping track: "Isis," by Bob Dylan. It's such a mind-blowing record.
