On The List: Megan Reilly

Stay in Bed

There is nothing more I really desire than to be in bed as much as possible. Some of you may think this is sexy. Others may think it's just sad. But after wrapping up this tour with Tom Verlaine, supporting my new CD, Let Your Ghost Go, I feel I'll have earned my laziness! And listening to music under the covers with no place to be but cozy is heavenly to me. These are the songs I'll be listening to on my next bed in.

Tracks

1. The Raincoats - No One's Little Girl

Doesn't every girl love to sing along to this one? Also a Strump's anthem.

Buy: Amazon iTunes

2. Thin Lizzy - Honesty Is No Excuse

Testimony to Phil Lynott's genius -- it's orchestral and tear inducing.

Buy: Amazon iTunes

3. Lou Reed - Satellite of Love

I LOVE Transformer... One of my favorite rock records--David Bowie singing along.

Buy: Amazon iTunes

4. Gram Parsons - We'll Sweep Out The Ashes In The Morning

I love this sentiment. We all can understand--with Emmylou xo.

Buy: Amazon iTunes

5. The Band - Whispering Pines

My dream guy. I feel close to Richard Manuel when I hear this--a beautiful song. Maybe one of my top three ever. Sue Garner and I sang this together in Chicago once.

Buy: Amazon iTunes

6. Nico - These Days

I first heard Barbara Manning's cover of this song. And then not Nico's till The Royal Tenenbaums. It is a good rainy day walking kind of song, you know, if you feel a little sad.

Buy: Amazon iTunes

7. Bob Dylan - She Belongs To Me

I pretend he's singing to me.

Buy: Amazon iTunes

8. Sandy Denny - It'll Take A Long Time

One of my favorite SD songs. I love how she mingles her harmonies together towards the end... Simple and touching and genius. She should be more famous.

Buy: Amazon iTunes

9. The Modern Lovers - Girl Friend

Endearing. He spells Girl Friend without the D. My husband loves to sing Jonathan Richmond songs on his guitar & sang this one to me during our early courtship. I knew then. Awwww!

Buy: Amazon iTunes

10. Yo La Tengo - Take Care

Brings tears. So beautiful.

Buy: Amazon iTunes

11. Sue Garner - These Old Walls

I know what it feels like to go home and say goodbye to the house you grew up in. Actually, I never got to do that, but I can believe that it would feel this way.
