Spoon Tunes (Part 1)

I have compiled a list of 91 songs that I personally find snuggle appropriate, some romantic, some not romantic.

Plus 1 song actually, which is not snuggle appropriate in my opinion, but that I love anyways. This delightful extraneous tune is of course "Friends with Benefits" by 7 $ Sox. If that's what you want out of your spooning, go for it. But personally, no thank you. It's an amazing song though, whether you're looking for that sort of relationship or not. Definitely a good tune to get your groove on to.

So 91 is kind of a large number, though I may add or remove a few as I go back through my lists, but I thought I'd just go through a few a day until we reach the end. The romantic and the nonromantic kind of overlap, but then there are some clear outliers that are decidedly one or the other. Like John Mayer's "Your Body is a Wonderland." That's pretty romantic. (Please note, while sex and romance are not the same thing, on my list they are.) So while I guess I should technically say that "Your Body is a Wonderland" is sexy...I'm still gonna say it's romantic! Why? Because I can! Hooray for power!

Okay, power trip over. Today's selections are as follows:

1. "Mona Lisa (When the World Comes Down)" by The All-American Rejects. It's a fantastic song, very chill, very all about being with one other person and enjoying it, even if the world ends. Heck, if the world ends I am definitely going to be snuggling as the world comes down.
   
2. "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne - more on the romance-y side. This edgy pop princess definitely is a good choice for enhancing your cuddling experience, especially her more mellow selections.
   
3. "Steal My Kisses" by Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals. Romantic, adorable turn of the millennium classic.
   
4. "The Longest Time" by Billy Joel. Fricking amazing. And who doesn't want someone to intend to hold them for the longest time? Also, this is amazing done a cappella.
   
5. "No Rain" by Blind Melon. Good tune for some very relaxing snuggles.
   
6. "A Whole New World" from the Aladdin soundtrack. This is of course super romantic, and down right amazing. 10 extra points to anyone who actually sings this to their cuddle utensil of choice. Both parts.
   
7. "Hey Juliet" by LMNT. "I think you're fine. You really blow my mind. Maybe someday you and me can run away. I just want you to know, I wanna be your Romeo." Can you get any happier than this 90's classic? Let's ponder this...ummm...not really, nope. It's a little upbeat for relaxed snuggles though.
   
8. "Put Your Records On (Acoustic)" by Corinne Bailey Rae. Very relaxing, especially appropriate when you've got your hair down and you just want to kick back and get your cuddle on. Particularly appropriate for all female snuggle gatherings.
   
9. "Knights of the Island Counter" by Dave Melillo. Depressing, but great melody. It's heavily alcohol themed, so it might be good for intoxicated snuggling? Personally, I like it for sleepy snuggling.
   
10. "Soul Meets Body" by Death Cab for Cutie. Amazing. 'Nuff said.
    
11. "Take It Easy" by The Eagles. Good for when you're really wound up, and you and your fellow utensil need to remind each other of the joys of relaxing and cuddling.
    
12. "Trolley Wood" by Eisley. Actually, the entire CD of Room Noises is perfect for cuddling. It's very relaxing and very filled with happiness, love, and oddities. So basically, if cuddling had a theme song, it would probably be Eisley related.
    
13. "Rock 'N' Roll" by Eric Hutchinson. Technically, this is a folk song. It's been pretty populate lately, and with just cause. It's supa chill and supa awesome. Just like you.
    
14. "Time on Your Side" by Emily Jane White. It just makes the tension melt out of me, which could mean potential melting into a fellow spoon and making the snuggles even better. I love it. So so so so much.
    
15. "Sewn (Radio Edit)" by The Feeling. It's basically about somebody being whipped, but in a good, happy, loving way if that makes any sense. So they're sewn. And that's pretty much what cuddle buddies are - they're sewn in regard to each other. That in tandem with the fact that it's a gosh darn wonderful song with a gosh darn wonderful chorus makes it perfect for cuddling.
    

Goodness, that's a lot of tunes! I was going to try to link videos to all of these, and then I decided that I am lazy, tired, and getting up at 6 am tomorrow. So that kind of died before it even began. However, do listen to these, especially if you think they sound interesting! I know I have kind of ecclectic tastes and opinions in regard to music, so here's hoping there's something for everybody lurking somewhere in there!

Okay, so "lurking" is a little ominous and threatening sounding. Let's go with "nestling" instead. Also, I need to talk about music in general at some point. I'm making a large mental post-it about it.

So, happy listening and happy spooning!
