songs of the month--october

i randomly get attached to a few songs every month, i wanted somewhere to keep a running list of them. i guess this will do, i'll update it later.
1. she got her own/miss independent remix by neyo, jamie foxx, and fabolous. i just love this song! the beat sounds kinda like a dream level in mario bros, the words are great--i've got my own! fabolous is always witty and on point lyrically, neyo is a great song writer, and this song is what made me realize jamie foxx really does have a distinct voice. . .
2. dream by alice smith. i 'borrowed' a cd from my bf, his friend makes these compiliation cds and this song was #1 or else i may never have been exposed to it. it's a sweet song (i'm a sucker for romantic lyrics) and the beat is. . .funky (is that the word i want to use?)
3. oh girl by raphael saadiq feat. jay z. this is another sweet song, i am a fair-weather jay z fan (i know, don't shoot me, it's just that sometimes he can be SO good and sometimes i think he rests on the fact that he was that good the last time, so why bother this time) i don't think this is his best verse, but it goes well with the song. i do like raphael but probably wouldn't have listened to the whole cd so soon if it hadn't come out on my birthday. tee hee. anyway, how could you not love a song that says 'i'll keep your heart next to mine, and i'll be everything that you need' and then the part where he says 'i'm gonna make you so proud, i promise i won't let you down'. so touching.
4. stop this world by neyo. once again, another really sweet song and testament to neyo's song writing skills.
5. live your life feat. rihanna. introspective ti :) fun song
