It occurred to me that these alphabetical-listening song-lists are an awful lot like David Bunn's library card poems. To catch you up to speed if you're not familiar with Bunn's work, after the Los Angeles Library System did away with their paper card catalog system, David retrieved all the cards, and now makes fantastic displays of the serendipitous poetry that comes out of the sequential book titles on the cards (some of his work, appropriately enough, is hanging in the downtown Los Angeles Public Library).
So, here's my attempt at the same, using every song that begins with I (as in the pronoun, not just the letter) or a contraction of I. I didn't leave any songs out, nor did I reorder them. I think it's kind of interesting, seeing what comes out of it (feel free to change the channel now):
I
I'd really love to see you tonight
I'll be in the air
I'll be you
I'll believe in anything
I'll come running
I'll do a little bit more
I'll fly away
I'll tell him tonight
I'm a ghost
I'm a man
I'm a Mormon
I'm an actor
I'm cool (interlude)
I'm free now
I'm getting cold
I'm going on for Jesus
I'm going to Spain
I'm her slave
I'm in a bad way
I'm in hell
I'm in love with no one
I'm lying
I'm never bored
I'm not asking for a tennis bracelet
I'm not going anywhere
I'm not in love
I'm not the one
I'm old fashioned
I'm on standby
I'm on your side
I'm part of everything again
I'm rejoicing in the lord
I'm set free
I'm so green
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm sorry you're having trouble...goodbye.
I'm still in love
I'm the bomb
I'm to blame
I'm with the pilots
I'm your villain
I'm yours, you're mine
I've been everywhere
I've been lost
I've been loving you too long
I've been riding with the ghost
I've got it all (most)
I've got my own problems to fix
I've got the ice in me
I've got you under my skin
I've seen it all
I've seen the land beyond
I ain't no joke
I am a cracked machine
I am not lonely with cricket
I am only me
I am the lamb
I am the sticks
I am your king
I believe in you
I blew away
I came as a rat
I can't believe
I can't believe it's true
I can't forget
I can't win
I can not have seen the light
I could see the dude
I could stay here forever
I could still (be an actor)
I dig you
I don't believe in the sun
I don't want to get over you
I don't want to record anymore
I drink the wine
I drive a lot
I feel the rain fall
I felt you
i finally found a jungle I like!
I found a way out
I found that essence rare
I get lonesome
I get the message
I go humble
I got a live one
I got the
I guess you're right
I have Jesus in my heart today
I heard you looking
I hold you
I invented the night
I keep coming back
I keep coming back
I know I can handle it
I know that loving
I know what I knew,
I know you got soul
I know your little secret
I lied
I like lo-fi recordings
I love the wb
I love you more
I love you more
I made the change
I missed the point
I must learn to live alone
I must prepare (tablecloth tint)
I need feel
I need love
I never came
I never picked cotton
I only said
I pray
I pray (interlude)
I ran (so far away)
I saw drones
I say that I will go
I see a darkness
I see you again
I set my face to the hillside
I should have been watching you
I sleep forever
I spy
I still miss someone
I summon you
I think I need a new heart
I thought about you
I turn my camera on
I want to know what love is
I want her she wants me
I was a landscape in your dream
I was a sunny rainphase
I was never young
I was the fool beside you for too long
I was your man
I will follow you into the dark
I will obey the lord
I wish
I wish I was the moon
I wonder
I would hurt a fly
Previously: Don't.
